Hey all. I got a vs L67 engine in a toyota corona. I got the car not running and have slowly got it up to starting and driving around. Anyways I drove it around my unit area and check the oil and it was all milky, creamy colour. Also smelt it like all males do and it smells like petrol...

Hey guys got 275/60R15 tyres on trying to get on the rear of my vx ss has anyone done this? Or know of anyone that has done it?? Thanks

Roadstones are nexens pretty much. Went down to tyre power and they recommended them. There a taller tyre and I'm pretty happy with them. I'm running 400 rwkw and they grip up well.

Hey guys. Today i was replacing my rear shocks to relise that theres oil coming outta the tail shaft were it connects to the diff. My question is. How hard is it to replace? Reason is im in the middle of getting it ready and im losing time very fast before summernats!!. Sooo any...

Lol dude th paints proble faded abit. I tried respraying my bonnet only old Subaru. Got the same colour code and it turned out darker lol. Maybe spray abit on a price of metel and see what colour it drys. Sometimes paint can lighten bait when it drys if I'm not wrong?

i know this post was posted awhile ago. But it was a help thread for people trying to service there car. and turned into people having ago at other people for there experiance. All everyone said in this thread is true. If your commodore motor has been thrashed and not maintained this will...

Ahh ok sounds good :). The bosch 040 looks tempting and the bosch 023 :). But theres alot of guys saying the walbro is a great pump. Im gonna talk to my mechanic on saturday anyways too see what he thinks about this pumps. Thanks for the help. Given me something to look at getting

Yer that's true. So you think the walbro will handle what I'm looking for? Just don't really want spend over 1000 on the fuel system.

I have a Howard cam in it. I can't remember the specs on it but I can tell ya. I havnt really got that much money at the moment so I can't really do a full fuel system. I kno il proble only hey 350 rwkw max so I'm happy just to get a fuel pump to handle that power. And I think the Bosch 040 is s...

I'll just stick the the walbro.

Yer I tho you could run 60 lb on a car that runs around 300 rwkw. Just don't wanna have the car running lean. I always like em running abit more richer :). So the fuel systems gonna be siemens deka 60 lb injectors. And a walbro 255. Could I got a Bosch 040? Just outta curiosity

Awesome thats good to hear. So should i stick to 42lb or just get 60lb just cus a can? and il just the walbro pump then. Ive had turbo cars and really want to try a charger. Without breaking things :). Sounds like things are fallign into place now :P

Yer ill make sure i get a genuine one. If a make 300 rwkw or abit more at least i wont break anything!. Its only a weekend so noo matter what power ill get ill be happy with it :). Thanks for the help

Personally i think superchargers dont make as much power as a head and cam package. As i got the ideal cam in my car already i tho id try the supercharger. I talk to the guy at raptors and he said i could proble only run 5 psi. so i dont really wanna spend that much money on good charger as...

I know alot of people dont think the powerdyne charger isnt great. But the guys a raptors have but a new impeller and bearings in it to get it to run 7 to 8 psi safely. Its nearly as good as the entry vortech. Will see what happens. Im not that fussed on power. The charger is there only to...

Hey Gurus. I have a gen 3 motor with a cam in it and about to supercharge it. I have a powerdyne charger thats been upgrade to run 8 to 10 psi. I will proble only run 5 to 6 psi as im only looking for around 350 to 360 rwkw. I currently have 270rwkw on mild tune. Anyways my question is...

sorry ment 350 to 360 rwkw :)

Isnt the 5ltr a common engine converstion into the kingswoods?. and pritty much the earlier commdores aswell?. as they pritty much bolt in? Thats why they hold there value pritty well. Should keen it and stroker it :D

Hey all. Im sure theres a bunch of guys that have done what im planning to do to my car. So i though id start a convo and see if i can get some advice. So i have the good old LS1 Motor in a 2002 VX series 2 SS manual. Ive had a Howard cam, springs and push rods done SS Inductions...

I got pacemaker TRI-Ys. Hotdog muffler. 3 inch stainless steel highflow cats. And custom made piping 3 inch. Sounds good.

Yer i was thinking of ding that but a cant afford it. the exhaust system cost me nearly 3 grand plus the cam and tune intake all that cost me just under 8. So was just looking at 5 to 6 psi kit. Just to get over 300 rwkw.

Alright awesome makes more sence. But i think the guy welded the cats in >.<. Just wish i had done them with the exhaust!

Ahhh ok. Well he pressed them out to fit the 2.5 inch exhaust so its 2.5 straight through. he just said thathi flow cats are a waist of time with the money to get like 5 kw if im lucky. So he modded the standard ones. Just tho id ask as im about to supercharge my car and want only the best...

Ohh great lol. So my exhaust fitter lied to me saying that they are hi flow >.<. He did quote me 500 a cat to me installed. is this cheap or expensive?. But as i said he told me i didnt need them!. Thanks anyways

Hey Guys. Just wondering i had my exhaust done afew months ago. Had pacemakers headers Tri-Y's 2.5 inch xforce exhaust with hurricane mufflers. My question is are the cats hi flow cats?. Because i still have the standard cats on as my exhaust fitter said they are hi flow. But ive...
