Thinking of selling the VL as i just don't use it anymore, but before i do i'd like to offer up the driveline as the car itself was my wifes first car so holds some sentimental value. This is a...

Hi Blair, Yes mine has been quite reliable for what it is, after all it was a budget build. The short consists of a come cast crank, come 5.7" i beams, and trw forged blower pistons, studded 2 bolt...

10:1 with 237/237 on meth should be able to take more than 8psi, however i dare say it will make more than enough power on 8 for you to shit your self if you're only used to a 12 sec car. good thing...

in the last decade your car is in my personal top 10 love the write up pro did on ct but im banned lol so yeah props mate

Haha, i was wondering why it was so quiet around there lately :p
thanks...

That seems like bugger all lift for a solid in that range... interesting, seems to work though :)

That thing is cool! :cool:

how fast is it going with the new motor?

Sorry to say, but the BW 78 LSD is NOT designed for the type of driving you want to do with it, the cones will wear very quickly and you'll be back to an open wheeler again. They can last very well...

Totally agree, but makes me wonder... Firstly, why hold it at a Franchise that has nothing to do with it, why not hold it at calder...

Apparently it was supposed to be a protest at Calder Park,...

Come cast crank, 5.7" I beams, TRW forgies, 2 bolt mains and girdle.

Nice work nath, should make for a fun drive, im guessing the 3000rpm setting is for street use :p
I miss my manual :(

Nice work Az, 9.95s a good number :) Are you going to the Easternats this year?

Thanks Nath, yeah there might be a few tyres laying around that need skinning at that time of year ;)

Yeah i agree that it's a gamble taking a holden to 1000hp, I also bet my left nut it's not being raced with 1000 as the mph was fairly consistant (138-140) on all the passes i watched. Did it make...

theres no fucking way the heads will stay on at 25psi even copper with o ringed block and half inch head studs wont do it it may last a pass but it will lift the heads at 25psi Also there is no way...

Thanks lads :)


Congrats dude, yes we were there. You had a few passes last night.

But no footage of the 9 sec pass? :(

Car went 9.95 today 138.9mph, still on pump fuel, full weight, no transbrake etc. was a private meet but there were a few media lads around, hope it was you FB fellas :)

Off its boobs

You're off your boobs.

Was the video crew there? will there be a vid?

I had a chat with the fella who built/owns it on friday night, He is the bloke making the custom inlet manifolds for them, stock bottom end, big sticks, manifold and springs, reckons he turns it to...

I don't think anyone is going to say they had a 'great' weekend. As you would know, friday night was cancelled, along with sunday, no refunds or rain passes offered. Track was reasonable on the...

Quick update, car went 10.1 at heathcote today but it would lift a wheel and as it came down it would unload the rear tyres so 9's will have to wait, had 138mph.

The above would be helpful if it were an LS1 :confused:

It would take more than a cam and head port to get a holden V8 to 230rwkw, So if it does have 230rwkw, it's either got a whole lot more done...

A torque converter is like a big hydraulic damper, and you have just removed a relatively tight one and swapped to one that slips a fair amount more. It should be easy for you to see why now when you...

I wonder why the all of the exhaust ports collect before exiting the head with what appears to resemble a turbo type flange Ooh

Cars looking good aaron. Does it lift a wheel at all? Is that footbrake or trans?

Thanks Brett, only a smidge of daylight under the tyre though, but yeah i dont have a transbrake.
