Bit of an update on the car. I put a bigger turbo on today. It is the same size as a Garrett GT42 and is rated at around 1000hp. The trans will be getting replaced shortly with a decently built auto and suitable hi stall. The engine will remain stock until it blows up. The guy who now owns my old VY SV8 and myself are going to head to Heathcote shortly to see how our cars go. We will both be driving the cars over and racing them. His is making 405rwkw and I will dyno mine once I have had a chance to do some tuning on it and the new trans is installed. I havent had a chance to do any tuning with the new turbo on yet but here is a pic of the new unit installed

Cheers fellas

It made 396rwkw with the small turbo, so the potential is there for much more. I decided to put the small turbo back on after driving with the big one for 2 days. The boost response was not good enough for me, so I decided the small one best suited my driving Here is a pic of the car:

Get a Highstall in, Problem solvered just dont get a circle d lol

I hate the stock rims, but they are staying lol.

Hi stall research is currently under way. I have ruled out Dominator and now Circle D. I have been advised to go for either a TCE or Yankee unit. I have found a second hand built trans which I will grab soon and install a billet input shaft in it. Mine has survived very well, hasnt even got a cooler on it and I have never serviced it in the 25,000kms I have had the car. Seems to handle the power ok, just spins tyres in the lower gears but doesnt change 2nd to 3rd well at anything over half throttle, thats its only down fall. If I raced it with the stock trans and achieved good traction, I would say it would blow first run
