1995 VS Calais - A2A Cooled L67

[LS1 James]

It weighed in at 1510kgs - 1504kgs is the cut off for 'large' vehicles.

V6 Conversions do an adapter flywheel for VN II -> VY. It is pretty much a neutral balanced flywheel that bolts onto the auto flexplate. That way you've still got the ring gear on the flexplate, the balance of the flexplate, but the fly-ness of the flywheel. So no need for any balancing etc. But you still need to use a manual starter motor. Been using it for around 16 months now with no drama's at all.

Hi Wamboin, Do you have any more info on this Neutral Balanced Flywheel? I cant see anything for any commodores past VL on V6 Conversions.

Cheers

check out that post in my old car's thread. there is a picture there of it.

not much else info about it besides what is in here and there.

think it's around $350, comes with flywheel adaptor, bolts and spigot bush. will need to run a manual starter motor.
yeah the website is not really that crash hot, but give them a call about it.

How did you go about the fuel rails? I've read the how to and seems pretty simple. Were did you source your parts from?

 

[wamboin23]

pretty much same as the how to, except my elbows are welded in because i stuffed up the drilling and tapping.

otherwise, just the same as Zapp's write up.

they look so much better than the stock rails, makes the blower look alot bigger.

ok thanks for that, were did you buy the fittings from?

also any new updates? i have just put a t5 behind my l67 vs ute alot better know, exhuast will be done next week. Gonna go a smilair setud to you. How much did they charge you for that?

Thanks mate

bought the fitting from enzed the first time (mucked it up), then went to another hose shop the second time.

exhaust setup cost me $1600 all up, including modifying the extractors.

I've done a fair few things recently, and have been meaning to get an update done for sometime. Bought a few bits and pieces off Haydz for intercooler and cam setup, so hopefully I've got something done there in not to long.

im keen to see this thing come together. youve been talking about it for long enough. and re bonnet clearance with the 19 psi pulley of my slightly touched the under rib in the bonnet with 10mm k frame spacers.

 

[wamboin23]

Maybe time for an update?

Few pictures of where it is at at the moment.

Need to get a few things sorted out so I can get it properly tuned.

New U Bend and 85mm LS1 throttle body
Need to machine snout down, and fit 2.55inch pulley, and matching 8 rib belt
Fit surge tank to alleviate fuel surge when fuel under half a tank

Hopefully have this all sorted in the next month or so.

Have also updated first post with details of new engine, gearbox etc
