DM's VR 4.2 TT V6 M5
Well, I've been on this site for ages, and thought I better finally get around to posting this stupid thing up.
It started off as a stock maroon automatic VR V6 when I bought it two years ago, since then, it's been through a whole lot of changes.
Straight after I bought it, I had it resprayed in VX silver (I don't know the proper name), with a touch of bluey-purple in the clear, as I hated the original maroon.
I also threw in a stereo and Xbox setup.
That was all well and good, but naturally I wanted to go a bit lower, and whack some wheels on it. But being the insane bastard that I am, I went nuts, throwing in some Pedders Ultra Low fronts, and resetting some Pedders ultra low rears 3". Handled great, got defected a lot, and hurt like hell to drive in.
After doing the usual mods (S/C VS CAI, 2 1/2 exhaust, clear indicators etc) I decided I was after a bit more power. So I got a Crow Stage 2 cam and chip package. This was nice, didn't feel a whole lot quicker or anything, just a much nicer note in the exhaust.
So after I decided I wanted to go even faster again, I began the operation of converting to manual and installing a CRS supercharger kit.
Had some fun with that, upgraded to the higher boost pulley, etc etc. Then disaster struck, the SC-14 gave way, and threw teflon into the motor, jamming up the valve seats.
By this point I'd been working as a mechanic/engine builder for a bit, so I went all out nuts. The cars not completely finished at this stage (It's very close) but this is how it stands:
Model: 94 Holden VR V6 Commodore
Engine: Buick EV6
Go fast Mods:
Ported and polished heads, running V8 valves and forged valve seats, heavy duty valve springs. Yes, standard cast iron heads, to all you people who seem to want to run out and buy alloy ones..
Custom grind Wade boost cam
Twin T3/4 turbos, turbonetics BOV
600x300x100 front mount intercooler
Wiseco forged pistons, SCAT H beam GN connecting rods, Bradey 4.2L stroker crank (I should have bought a COME one). ARP bolts, ACL bearings and rings.
MSD coils with 10mm leads
Bosch 044 fuel pump
Twin 2.5" exhausts from turbo back into single 3", but will be changing to twin 3" asap.
Slow down Mods:
VT GTS brake booster
VT Twin piston calipers
Braided lines
1" Fast fill master cylinder
Wheels & Suspension:
Custom coilovers, and 20"'s as soon as I find a set I really like.
Interior:
4 seater, using VR exec seats. Silver sprayed plastics, VY SS black leather shifter boot with silver stitching.
Stereo:
XBox and 7.5" screen, two 12" Jaycar subs, two Jaycar amps, and 4 Jaycar 6.5 speakers. (I got stingy with sound gear :yeah: )
Gearbox:
Standard T5 (If someone knows anybody that can build stronger T5's, PM me) with a PBR heavy duty clutch, and a lightened flywheel.
Diff:
4.11 LSD for road use.
3.45 Spool for dorifto.
Sorry about the size/age of most of the pics. If anyone has any questions about anything I've done, I'm more than happy to answer them.
And there are no bay pics because Interweb cops/EPA scare me :thumbsup:
(I'm more than happy to show people at show and shines/cruises however)
