nice little sleeper.

are you going to put it down the quarter mile?

Future mods: sell turbo and add blower!!

mmm, interesting. sucks that you didn't stick with the turbo but i guess the supercharger you are getting is even more rare. will you keep us updated with how it's progressing (the blower install that is)?

have you got any plans for engine internals or cam/rockers?

 

[Commotion]

no plans as yet. i may get a set of YT rockers cause ive seen people make good numbers with blowers and them. it will all start once the turbo setup sells so when i finish uni in 3 weeks ill stick it on ebay if i dont get any interest from the comodore forums. then i can order the blower and start organising all the bits and pieces. the turbo is excellant fun, so good to drive but im liking the idea of more power and the only way i can do that without blowing up the gearbox or engine is with a centrifical supercharger, cause the turbo makes too much power too soon in the revs and the gearbox doesnt like it. if my car was manual i prob would keep the turbo.

hey mate, love the turbo setup!

the colour isnt borin white though, dono who told you that

[shaness]

how much do you want for the turbo setup???????

I want $5200. included is everything except sump and tune. the sump cause i reused the seal with silicone and if i pull it off it will wreck the seal however i have a VS sump and can weld a fitting in it or a VT sump if provided. and the tune cause i paid 1500 to get it converted to mafless and they had to modify a lot of the wiring so it will be a pain in the ass to convert back.

included is the 3 in exhaust and cat, turbo manifolds(cermaic coated) T04b turbo with cermaic coated turbine housing and polished comp housing, 38mm wastegate, BOV. all intercooler pipework is tig welded aliminium and the visible sections are polished, intercooler and brackets. included is the reversed plenum with polished lid and 32lb injectors. the injectors are a bit small and the car has been maxing out at 180rwkw at 4500rpm, but larger injectors and it should be above 200rwkw easy.

all it needs to be sucessfully installed into a VT-VY is the sump modified and installed, install everything included, peel back o2 sesnor wires so they reach the o2 sensors and throttle body wires, install exhaust, and then get it tuned. it is highly reccomended to install new engine mounts when installing the turbo to give more clearance around the wastegate as the origional mounts sag big time and the extra power will wreck them pretty quick. i had this problem origionally.

any local people interested are welcome for a test drive. and when i pull it off i will re-polish up all the pipework to make it look fresh.

extra note: The turbo was reconditioned with new turbine impeller and internals when i built up the system about 6000k ago so it should have lots of life in it and be like new. and i also have a larger compressor housing and wheel that i was going to put on it that is also included.

Had it on Ebay but no bids so i decided to keep it. I have been trying different mufflers to make it quieter but no luck so far. i will put the injectors in soon and im gonna get a boost controller to up it to 10psi. i hope to get it re-tuned soon.
