YMY-70Y 's VT S Build Thread

[YMY-70Y]

Worked on the car for 15mins yesterday arvo Anytime is good time right...
I pulled the relay for the driving lights outta the wreck as well as the stock switch. Went and put the relay in dug around and found the vt had a plug taped up ready for business, plugged in ans perfect.... Driving lights fitted

Also my single din 3 gauge holder thing arrived from eBay.

It doesn't fit aswell as I had hoped, but I should be able to mod it. At $18 from eBay, I'm not to stressed.

I decided that ill mount the boost gauge into the dash under the instrument cluster control buttons

Looks sooooo much cleaner then the VT look IMO, still gotta get some tail lights, im thinkin probably these

Also have to buy touch up paint yet and then probably give it a touch up and good wash.
Hopefully ill get to start on the interior this week, fingers crossed.




I have a HSV VT boot, boot garnish and spoiler for sale if anyone is keen....

Nice ride mate! I have always liked the Tiger Mica colour.

When you get around to doing the performance mods, you may want a slightly higher PSI on your supercharger when you intercool it. One of the things I found out with my ride is that I am losing ~3 PSI through the intercooler. (There is a chance it might be something else as a stock dyno run said the engine was only getting 2 PSI on the stock pulley - thought it should be 6 PSI). Either way, on the safe side think maybe 14-15 PSI with the intercooler.
