Thats going to be a hell of a sleeper if you keep the exterior looking stock.

[Joe]

[OLSKOOL1800]

Hey Mate,
I called past Sanders workshop the other day and he showed me the pipe work for the turbo and ran me through the concept of the build.
I love it :)
Definitley aim to keep it on the stock looking side.
The original decals and rechromed roof racks will set it off!

Jordan.

[ED40]

That is fucking awesome mate!!!

[TJ]

Hell yes!

[Tocchi]

[RICEY]

Sweet as, as said above put some big brakes on the to pull that power up haha

[Quivr]

Thanks for the replies. Didnt think id get that much of a response. Plan was to paint the car while its of the road. Not sure now. Might just do engine bay.

Will throw a pic up of it ripping a skid with the V6 for you guys :)


F*CK ME!

[marky mark]

haha thats sweet mate good work keep tha sleeper look
yeh this will pump at powercruise jus like that white van last
year with tha sr20 in it.

[Alt_F4]

Epic sleeper... sir, I salute you :D

[R31 POWER]

Oh yeah.

[Passage GT]

man never been a fan of the commo v6 but this thing is going to be a fucking monster, definately reckon you leave it looking as stock as possible, if you can find steelies that fit over the 4 pots and run hubcaps still it will be an awesome sleeper, can't wait to see the finished product in action, definately unique, not many people doing shit different these days, good when someone does
nice work man

[Milhouse]

prehaps some VE steelies with hub caps ?

they are 16" i think

[Simon]

those skids done at the back of kewdale tires ay? lol

[Nismo33]

Looks good mate!
Keep her vacationer spec for sure.

[Quivr]

those skids done at the back of kewdale tires ay? lol

Nah mate, at a concrete pad near Barbagello.

Yeah i need 16" minimum.

[OLSKOOL1800]

Depending on how the quality of the build ends up, I may be able to get it in a few magazines once it is completed.
Just ask Sanders about Jordan doing the photoshoots and see what he says :)
Any idea on when the big girl will be done?

Cheers,
Jordan.

[Quivr]

Nah, just has to be boosting by Powercruise. Yeah Lee said a something along those lines.

Engine bay will be painted now not sure about the rest of the car. I have already started to rub it back so i might aswell finish it off. Will post new pic up of engine bay. Car is now at home. Dump pipe and exhuast is all done.

[Quivr]

[poonisher187]

That thing is of epic proportions. No offence to some self loathers on Antilag, but this is by far my favorite built ever!!! Keep up the good work.

[vnformula]

1 lady owner since new as well :)

cant wait to whore in this on a antilag cruise

[blownVL]

what power are you hoping of making?

[Quivr]

Hoping for 400hp on 14psi.

[Quivr]

The goal is to run a 10.9 with the l67 stock bottom end. Whether it lasts that long, who knows.

Picture of how it stands. Got the car beached on the kerb the other day. took two of us to push it off. Damm 265 rear tyres and stock guards. Coilovers at the front are how i got them. Havent been adjusted yet.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/quivr/DSCF2050.jpg

Dump Pipe Location in Guard

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/quivr/DSCF2281.jpg

Heads have been torqued down with my ARP head stud kit. Motor is starting to look the part. Have started to rub the engine bay back so sorry people but doesnt look like it will be kept beige.

[VT SS]

how does that dump pipe for for clearance on full lock with the tyre ?

[lambchops]

this thing is nuts!! cant wait to see rusults

[Lonewolf]

hope the dump is ceramic coated!

[mr_mike]

that dump pipe looks dam close to the wheel!! but could just be angle of photo.
Dunno if u have or not but i would remove the coilover then put a jack under the lower control arm and lift the wheel up and check it in every possible position to c if it touches.

This build reminds me of an old LH torana 4dr i think it was that used to get around. Was baby shit brown/green, 4 stock rims with SL/e hubcaps, Kirky aluminium speedway seat and a turbo 202. "APPARENTLY" it used to runs 12's

[Quivr]

Yeah dump pipe will be heat wrapped and ceramic coated.

Tyre just touches on full lock. Something i will have to live with or run thinner tyres. It was either that or redesign my manifolds.

Ill be pissed off if this thing runs 12's. :)

[mr_mike]

if it just touches on full lock un loaded your gonna find it touches alot more when u try to turn while moving as the tire changes shape and deflects

[Drift_R32]

hmmm last thing you want is tyre melt and pop on the track at high speed..could u make up some type of plate cover that bolts around it after its exhuast wrapped etc? so tyre can touch that but not the exhuast itself ??

[monk_13]

I vote repaint it oem colour... remade graphics etc etc...


*dude in VE/BA/SKYLINE (whatever) "did i just get my doors blown off by my grandfathers wagon????"

CUE BULK LAUGHS.

[Simon]

fucn lovin this build ay, good work :)

[bodybodyrock]

very impressed, i put off reading this thred due to the title, sounded so boring (sorry) oh how wrong i was., glad i finaly read it and will be keeping a close eye on it from now on, good work

[Quivr]

BodyRock, Simon - Thanks fellas.

Ill take some pics and show you guys the clearances. Quite a few people with Turbo V8 run the dump in a similar location.

[TwiggE]

thats bombed

[Quivr]

thats bombed

It will be hopefully.

[Niva]

I vote repaint it oem colour... remade graphics etc etc...



x2, ultimate sleeper.. can sort you out with some VE steelies, but you will have to take 3ml of the centers as they are 66.6ml and yours will be 69.x?
they are 16x7 but different offsets but will fit snug under the guards.. not sure about the dump though

[Niva]

on second thoughts, might get away with spacers with VE rims to clear the pipe and still be inside the guards.

[sam5709]

any updates on this beast???

[Quivr]

No not alot. Have been on holidays for the last two weeks. Went to the Gold Coast for one of those.

Got my R32 GTS-t calipers last week.

Atm i am just rubbing the engine bay and car back ready for primer. Need to repair the rust and get the holes in the engine bay blocked up and filled. Its slowly getting there.

Bolted the heads and inlet manifold aswell as the turbo, wastegate screamer pipe onto the motor before i went away. Will put some pics up soon.

[Torquen]

wow, this looks like a top build! Can't wait to see it in action.

[schnoods]

Bloody hell, will be a beast when she's all done.

There was a turbo VR/VS wagon at the drags, used to run 11's with ease, havent seen it for a while. Looks like she'll be a nice package, especially with a stall like that. :hit:

[Gleeso]

Only just seen this thread today and well going by the title i wasnt expecting to see a snail in the engine bay. Looks the goods.

Would be good to see it when its in action, keep up the good work

Yeah he has blown a few.


Thanks for the comments.

Car is moving along slowly. Still sanding, filling and treating the rust. Gonna clean the garage out on the weekend, so will get some new pics of the motor and car.

[lazy6]

[AGIT8D]

That's gonna look so clean when it's sprayed!!

[Shauno]

Please dont tell me thats a goss fuel pump!

[Quivr]

Agit8d - Thanks mate. Bloody hope so.

4Muff - Replacement stock pump courtesy of Veale.

[Rantopotamus]

so thats just a 3.8L supercharged bottom end out of a vs ?? with bit of porting a reversed plenum, injectors and the turbo system? Did you use any aftermarket parts within the actual motor and do you know how the supercharged motors differ from the stock..

reason I ask is I wanted to drop a 25 in my vs ute but something like this looks way way more interesting and keeps it easy as its already in there!

do you mind me asking who built your motor and what youve actually got done to it? I dont know if it has been mentioned or not but are you using a aftermarket ECU?

[Quivr]

Dufus - Its just a L67 (Supercharged V6 Motor) bottom end. Any l67 from a vs to vy will fit. From a vs will be easier, but a vt-vy would probably have lower klms. BYE Performance can help with wiring and conversion.

Bottom End is Stock.

ADS in Myaree port and polish my L36 (Ecotec) heads, install bigger valves, springs, guides etc. Flowed 350hp on the flow bench.

I installed the cam. Cam is a Stage 3 Intense Racing Turbo cam from the USA. JP Double timing chain. Balancer Shaft has just been disconnected. Cometic Head Gaskets, ported lower inlet manifold. I'm running Yella Terra 1.6 rockers.

I had a reverse plenum made up by a mate but we are doing some modifications to it now. Going to open up the throat just after the throttle body. Will be using a 69mm Throttle body.

Im using the factory ECU. I had kalmaker installed on the ECU for the original conversion so will just get Al Gibbs to retune.

Differences between L67 & L36 - Taken from L67torque.com

Rods - Larger rod which is stronger. The gudgeon (wrist) pin is also larger.
Pistons - These have a coating on the top of the piston. They are also larger in the dish, which drops the compression to 8.5:1
Heads - The heads on the Pre VX Ecotecs are identical to the L67s. However, the L67 heads have a hole drilled into them for the injector. This hole is drilled into a boss that encroaches into the inlet port. The post VX2 ecotec heads (from what I can gather) do not have this boss. They have a clean/straight inlet port. Any pre VX Ecotec head can be turned into an L67 head with the right drill bit and the hole drilled at the correct angle.
Balance shaft - The L67 balance shaft is weighted differently to the Ecotec
Flex plate - The L67 Flex plate is balanced differently to the Ecotec Flex plate
Harmonic balancer - The L67 HB has an extra set of grooves for a second belt (the blower belt) It is also balanced differntly to the Ecotec HB. The L67 HB and flex plate have to be used together.
Coil Packs - They are a higher voltage in the L67 compared to the Ecotec.
Cam gear - The cam gear for the timing chain has a different orientation to the ecotec cam gear. I believe I worked it out to be about 2 degrees. This differetiation retards the cam gear 2 degrees.

Other than that, they are basicly the same. the blocks are the same, the crank is the same except for manual ecotrec cranks.

[Rantopotamus]

ok so note to self find supercharged bottom end, get rebuilt with forgies..

Spend $ 3- 5k on heads and throttle body, then make lee make everything then smash 20 psi in..

Nice! See mine will still be my daily.. Just got hold of a little Nissan Gazelle which I will throw a stocker c18 turbo FMIC in then when thats tuned and running I want to do a mild turbo setup on my vs ute.. all while trying to finish my torry... Fucken cars.

Thanks for all your info mate. You went into a lot of detail. I appreciate it.

Thanks for all your info mate. You went into a lot of detail. I appreciate it.

If your going to rebuild with forgies, just use existing motor and build that. All depends how quick you want the daily to be :D.

Im hoping to get 400hp+ with 1 bar or boost.

Lee knows what hes doing. He will probably use a factory cast manifold for one bank and custom make the other.

I have trouble finishing one car let alone 3. Good luck mate

[Quivr]

Picked up my plates today

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/quivr/DSCF2813.jpg

Bought them off Brian a few weeks ago. Cheers Mate.

Also picked up a replacement panel to go under the windscreen. will save me patching it up. Need to pull my finger out and get this thing in primer.

[DanWA]

Lets hope your car don't end up like Brian's did though!

Nice plates!

I like how you have made the drivers exhaust manifold join up to the turbo manifold.

Love the vacationer stickers on this beast, you just need some nice blinds :)

[sam5709]

cant wait to see this beast getting put back together, what kind of figures are you expecting?

[Scaf]

Love this thing mate, cant wait to see it all finished.

[Nic_A31]

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/quivr/passengercarpet_M.jpg


Speedo is a bit out of whack hey?

Looks good man, I'm keen to see this finished :)

[Quivr]

Bangn - Thanks mate. I wanted the manifolds to go over the gearbox so u dont see the crossover infront of the engine.

Sam - Hoping for 400hp with this bottom end.

vs clubby - Thanks mate. Your build is looking awesome.

Nic - hahaha nice spot. The cluster used to stick at about 80km/h. It really needed the cover/faceplate on it to stop it sticking.

We are prepping the rest of the car and will get that in primer before we start smoothing and rubbing it back reading for basecoat. Sourcing a tailgate and bonnet now as mine were rusty.

[kurbn]

is this car now forrest green?? I saw a green wagon out the front of sanders racing

[Quivr]

Nope. Current pics are what it looks like. Will be voodoo blue

[lazy6]

haha and its been like that for awhile now matt ...haha its taking shape quickly but the beers go down quicker!

[Quivr]

VH has been on the back burner for a while now.

Decided to install my setup in my daily for some fun. L67 motor did a cam bearing while i was running the cam in. Motor now has forged pistons and rods.

Still needs to be tuned but pictures speak a thousand words :)

[Mad_Aussie]

That is fantastic! I would love to see the looks on peoples faces when you blow them away in that! I helped a mate build a CA powered pintara wagon once, sleeper shitter wagons are definitely the way to go :)

[j3rk]

I liked the theory in the VH better. Still a cool concept, VH would have had more 'GET F**KD' factor when dishing chop.

[Mad_Aussie]

Needs to be put in a Camira wagon.

[Stef]

Haha love that the bullbar is still on there too..

[Quivr]

Thanks for the comments. Setup will make its way into the vh one day.

[D3FEKT]

ahh sweet, I Read your build a while ago on another forum. Didn't expect the engine to go in another wagon haha. Bet that will still have the same sort of shock value when you chop someone from the lights.

[ED40]

lol tht looks fuckign awesome in the stocker vr/s wagon hahaha

[Marti]

What an awsome build.I would love to see this thing in action.2 thumbs up

[Dzenci]

I was waiting on a update on the vh but that doesn't do it justice either.
Love the stealth look especially with the roo bar on.

Must surprise some people out there.

Great work man, keep it up.

[Quivr]

Setup hasnt been tuned yet. Is a pig to drive atm. MAF sensor doesnt like it when it flutters :P Need to always have one foot on the throttle to keep the revs up. Will install my 65lbs injectors and 3 bar map sensor this week and get a copy of a mates tune. Should allow me to do some more klms on the motor before i get it properly tuned before powercruise.

Further mods include some shadecloth on the bullbar to hide the intercooler :P

[Gurney]

I'd keep it in the daily for the lols, that's absolutely classic!

[Mad_Aussie]

Man, I love you so much!
You need to make a bent coat hanger australia antenna for it.

[vnrockit]

Further mods include some shadecloth on the bullbar to hide the intercooler :P

don't for get the water bag on the bull bar lol

[Buckets]

The car is fucking golden. I love the whole idea of this build.

[Quivr]

Family Guy - Yeah definately take it down the Motorplex. Heading to Powercruise to.

Gurney - It is my daily. :P

Pete - Nah some venetians would be nice :P

Thanks for the kind words.

[lazy6]

are they the spotties from the kal trip hahahaha nice!

[Quivr]

Neil nah they are the original ones.

Installed 65lbs injectors, 3 bar map sensor, msd leads and new spark plugs last nite. Also had a copy of a mates tunes so I can drive it without it stalling all the time. Maf sensor didnt like my turbo and no bov. Now is mafless and has a 4" alloy intake pipe and big K&N filter. Doses 10x better now.

[31-EVO]

That poor gearbox

[coucheee]

very nice, spotted you a week or so ago at a servo in maddington, heard it chirpin its arse off around the corner then spotted the front mount was like wtf.

[91180]

this is a long shot, but you don't work for the Armadale or Serpentine/jarrahdale shire do you mate?

hows the turbo set up running ??

[Quivr]

Gearbox will love it :P

couchee - i remember ya silvia.

91180 - Yeah mate i do.

Lazy6 - Setup is running sweet. Getting tuned on Wednesday. Wont have a boost controller in time so just gonna go from the wastegate. Will have my 14.7 springs in there. Not ideal but will have to do for powercruise.

[91180]

I thought so. I'm working at the Kalimna site in Byford, I was Bruce's stringer for a while. Read the thread then remembered you mentioning putting your turboed v8 in your daily then went through and had another look and realised the wagon looked all to familiar haha.

Haha small world.

[Quivr]

Car made 395hp and 1123nm of torque on 16psi. Will post dyno sheet soon.

[vnrockit]

Nice result mate must pull hard now aye

[DanWA]

seems to be ALOT of 1000+ nm torque figures coming off his dyno...

great result from a v6 mate!

[Quivr]

Been a few not too many. It's a mainline dyno. They are meant to read low I think. Only a tuning tool anyway. Quarter mile will give a true indication.

[vnrockit]

seems to be ALOT of 1000+ nm torque figures coming off his dyno...

great result from a v6 mate!

5 cars have crack 1000nm 3 of them will be looking at 10sec passes other 2 should go low 11's most will be at powercruise and then at the motorplex on the 13th next month

[Torquen]

seems to be ALOT of 1000+ nm torque figures coming off his dyno...

[Mistikal]

Great figures Matt!

What RPM does it start to come onto boost?

[Rhys]

Love watching this car at Powercruise, ultimate sleeper. Roobar and front hat are nice touches

[Quivr]

Wagon starts making boost about 3000-3200rpm.

Yeah powercruise was awesome. Got a good response from everyone. Getting out there on friday nite and doing a skid was fun. Hope someone has a vid.

[Quivr]

Ran 12.6 at 113mph last Wednesday on street tyres. Heading down tonight again.

[Quivr]

Ran an 11.77 @ 115mph on slicks. Motorplex showed me the ban stick :)

Ran the car with bullbar, visor etc. Car weighed 1540kg.

Best time on my 17's was a 12.55

an 11.77 ? Fuck me........
That is awesome, I want it.

[Mad_Aussie]

LOL! Probably one of the only 11 second cars around with a roo bar!

[thrtytwo]

I seen this in action mate, what a surprise it was haha, me and a friend were having a bit of a giggle...sorry....then FUCK ME!!!

[Mistikal]

What do you need to return? T/Shaft loop, what else?

[lazy6]

harness i think he said

[Daisy]

harness, tailshaft loop and an andra licence.

[AGIT8D]

Battery isolation switch

[Daisy]

i havent needed one

[Quivr]

The 11.77 was with a 1.9 60ft so should be able to improve on that time with more practice.

Moteplex said harness, t/loop, battery switch and license. A few mates are running 11's without the battery switch thou.

[Quivr]

New PB of 11.49@119mph with a 1.8 60ft

[ovaxitd]

fucking crazy haha... still got roo bar? thats insanly quick for a streeter haha...

[VT SS]

decent time dude !

going to head back to the track to better your time ?

[Quivr]

Nah took the roobar and visor off and also the seats out. The andra guy must have missed the run because I didn't get booted again. Gonna fix the brakes and see if that helps stall it up. Soon as you hit 3k just starts to creep forward. See if I can find some more mph and a quicker ET.

[31-EVO]

What cam is it running ? Also, ratio rockers ?
Absolutely love this thing, giving me some pretty bad ideas however.

[lazy6]

i think it could be a zzp cam near on the xp hot and like a 1.6 rocker ,kim

[31-EVO]

Yeah rightttooo :)

[vnformula]

not a zzp cam Neil, stock rockers.

Be good to see this thing get off the line properly, needs transbrake. got a 10 in it yet i recon.

[AGIT8D]

not a zzp cam Neil, stock rockers.

Yep 1.6' would see it go very close

[vnformula]

If can get it on boost properly off the line should find some more mph as well, no wheelspin on the 11.49 and only stalled it to 3000

[Quivr]

Is an intense racing camshaft. I have 1.61 yella terra rockers.

[Quivr]

OK White Wagon is no more. Returned it back to stock and sold it. The T04z turbo didnt like not having a BOV after 6 months and cried enough. Bolt that holds the front compressor wheel on came off and wheel was chewed. Suprised it didnt go thru the motor. Sold the manifolds and turbo. Starting again.

New turbo is slightly bigger. 66mm wheel. Manifolds now come thru the front. Much much much easier to work on and install.
Fuel cell is in the spare tyre well

Car is currently getting custom intercooler made.

Holes currently in the engine bay will be filled in. New dump pipe will run within the chasis rails.

Pictures will show new mods.

[TheChad]

wow, thats a big jump haha!

loved it before, love this even more.

[ED40]

fuck yes!
About time you got it out of the workshop! Cant wait to see it done, gonna be a monster!

[Rhys]

Keep seeing this gathering dust at Justin's. Awesome build

[mav_vlt]

i was wondering who got thoes plates - brian offered them to me when the first lag wagon got writen off (R.I.P.)

i think i saw the white wagon at the drags a few times and had a talk to you about it.

cant wait to see the vh finished. love sleeper wagons!! (hence my own :) )

[Quivr]

Yeah project has kinda gotten bigger than first imagined but i can sort of see the end. Once all the fabrication work is finished can finally get some colour on it.

Yeah a mate worked with Brian for a while. He asked for me and sold them to me. Have had them for a few years now.

Will be a good day when i can race it again. Be a bit quicker than the 15.1 i ran in it.

[mav_vlt]

yeah i had another vl turbo wagon ages ago when he offered them to me.

yeah should be a bit quicker haha. what turbo do u have on it? you said 66mm wheel but it looks bigger than that lol

[Quivr]

yeah well i ran a 11.4 in the VR wagon so a 10 something will be nice. 9.99 is my goal.

Turbo is a Borg Warner S366. Has a Billet Wheel and a race cover.

[mav_vlt]

i would be happy to run an 11 with my setup lol

ohk cool

[astro]

I still rekon this looks better. Found a much better sized turbo for you.

[Quivr]

Lol im just glad it fits. Will allow me to go to a larger turbo in the future :P

Im sure there is an 11 in your setup. Love your Vl wagon btw.

[Quivr]

looking good man. who did your tubs for you?

[KAL SPL]

S&E Automotives did cage and tubs.

[Quivr]

Some real work was completed on the weekend. Both hot and cool side cooler piping was fabricated and the 3.5" dump pipe. Also made the brackets to mount the radiator.

Had to "reshape" the passenger side inner guard to provide enough clearance for the 3.5" dump pipe.

[Passage GT]

[-Luke-]

That is fucking perfect. Nice job!

[adrenalin]

Looks sweet

[TJ]

Fuck. Yes.

[VS50WA]

Pretty sure theses are Brians old plates came off a VL calais wagon...

[Steve]

It was a Beige VL Exec wagon with Calais front ;)

[Scaf]

So awesome.

[fmx939]

Wow great build! Nice to see those plates still doing some work.

[Liberator]

all you do is win

[Quivr]

Thanks for the feedback people.

Correct plates were on a vl wagon before me. I bought them off Brian. Had them for a few years just collecting dust.

[Gleeso]

One solid donk!
