My Vl Turbo Conversion

[detox_nath83]

mate i sourced my piping off ebay for $150. and my cooler was $250 now i know that GKtech do cooler piping kits and coolers for about $500-600 no holes as well so it is legal. might pay a visit to their website.
or yes u could get an exhaust shop to bend up one.. the only thing is most exhaust shops have pipe benders and not mandrel benders(nicer bends and no pinch/stretching marks). so they may need to use mandrel bent pipes and weld up the piping for u with the pre bent pipes.

f**k**g nice car mate no wonder you know heaps you have done alot to this beast.

Hey how much did your rear disc brake conversion set you back ?

So how much boost you running now with your setup ?

 

[detox_nath83]

Hey man thanks heaps for that. Appreciate it alot.

Mate the rear disk conversion cost me a bottle of Jimmy to a mate(didnt have to) for the Vn Calipers,Flex Hoses, Disks, Backing plates

Then 2 sets of Stealth Brake pads from Bendix was $40-50 ish cant remember. (Auto 1)

The new bearing kits were $80ish (Auto 1)

And the Seal Kits for the calipers as i rebuilt them were $8 each from a brake and clutch place.

I acid dipped them at work(powdercoater) and sprayed them "Red" Engine Enamel Paint (Auto 1)

Still stock boost man as i am lazy and have not put in the Turbo ECU and Injectors (will when im on holidays) then ill dial her up to about 10-12 and clamp the head on better.

Hey how have you got your oil feed setup, looks like the line goes to the drivers side of the block, i was under the impression the feed bolt is on the exhaust/turbo side of the block?

Did you just put a T-Piece in your oil sender or something?

 

[detox_nath83]

yeah man this block is tapped for oil feed and water etc on the hot side
but i "T" pieced it from the sender instead.

Nice, cheers mate.

Sorry about all the dumb questions --
