- VL V6 Turbo'd Sedan, Turbo'd V6 Altered
What all the B.S. in the title means, is I own a VL wagon with 3.8 V6 twin turbo and T5 5 speed. It is a work in progress, low budget deal, with a bit of a difference. I love the VL shape, but prefer the low down torque of the V6 to the high revving, JAPANESE RB engines (controversial opinion eh?) I will get lots of hate mail no doubt, but a JAP engine does NOT belong in an Aussie Icon.
Okay, now I have made some enemies, here are a couple of pics to get the thread started. I have done very little on the pretty side of things, I prefer to make my car fast first, then spend what I have left on pretty stuff.
The start of it all, stripping the VR and prepping the VL
Putting an American engine where a Jappa used to be
Prepping the hole, battery is going in the spare wheel well soon
Shortblock going back together
Bit of port work to help things along
Turbo plumbing ready to go back on
My favoutite mags, good old ROH ZS's
