VL turbo vs VR/VR V6

[rb26dett]

A friend of mine has a standard VL turbo, I smashed it with my VR, the reason is because it's thrashed.

If you can find a clean one, yes they are quick but not too fast, need to mod it to unleash its true power.

Thats true, a few mods make alot of difference.

my brother has a VS ute, and my white one(wich is now sitting in shed :ranting: ) used to flog it, all was a 5 speed,intercooler, running around 10.
wen't great, but now just brought another vl with a rb25 and it go's even better, that might be an option to, buy a vl and do a transpplant, but then you have to get enginered.
and a few of my mates have n/a's and they go bloody good in my opion, if i didnt get hooked on turbo vl's i would have one in a flash

pretty sure u can swap any engine as long as that model came out with that engine. Eg, n/a 6 to a 308 or whatever. Just gotta let RTA and insurance ppl know to make it legit. Im not 100% but i thought it was like that, pretty sure it is in NSW anyway

you can turbo the na motor for about 1 grand but the manual transmission will blow as soon as you hit boost unl;ess you got the mx7 box (onw that came out with the turbo) auto will hold up with cooler and service.

ebay will turbo your na for around 1 grand. you dont need a decompression plate either unless you wanna run, say more than 14psi (dont quote me on that one tho) dont buy turbo injectors as they are only a tiny bit better, buy somethign like a set of efi 8 injectors and keep 2 as spares. run 2 standard fuel pumps. check out calaisturbo for their sale section you will pick up a second hand intercooler for around $100 or ebay for $150 new, piping... well im sure you can find someone to weld it up so you just gotta buy the bends from a zorst show and tack them all together. you dont need the turbo intake manifold, but use an xf throttle body.

i could go on all night but cant be ****ed

its piss cheap to get power out of a vl, but the stock na manual lets it down, and you dont pick up an MX7 box too cheap either.

If you run different injectors, you will need a chipped or aftermarlet ECU

So what about a rb25? do i have to get that enginered if that in my car?
rb26dett where did you go for enginering?

 

[rb26dett]

My car is a factory VLT, It still runs a RB30ET.

I have not had it engineered.
