[viet_boi]

FUCK look at the size of that turbo, clean as..but needs better rims

[PSI 304]

Looks bloody tidy! that engine bay pic is stunning mate. Doing it once and doing it properly it seems! How much power are you expecting to see from this setup?

[yeahlow34]

That engine bay is immaculate. Very impressive setup.

Hate the wheels though :( But can certainly appreciate their significance in relation to the car.

[XF Falcon]

Looks awesome man, its going to be very nice once its all done.
Keep us updated with pics as you go.

[Scaf]

Cheers guys, wheels will change.. wanted FR's but dont think that will happen. Wheels are the last last thing on my mind atm..
To be honest i have no real idea what power it will make, looking at similar setups i think it should make around 550-600rwhp i hope, anything more will be a bonus.

It started at a simple engine swap to an already built 355, but blow out big time so i though fuck it, built it once and built it right.

[Alt_F4]

I hope you like buying tyres :D

[OLSKOOL1800]

Hi Mate.

The build looks like it is coming along nicely. ;)
So many options for rims out there mate - forget the Simmons either way and get something unique.

Cool name for the car btw.

When you have it completed I would love to feature it in Perth Street Car and perhaps even Street Commodores.
I will keep checking for progress...

Cheers,
Jordan.

[Joe]

That is bloody awesome. Love the old school Clubbies :)

P.S. don't change the rims, SLEEPER.

[cplagz]

Interesting turbo setup! Any reason you went a big single over twins?

[PSI 304]

That is bloody awesome. Love the old school Clubbies :)

P.S. don't change the rims, SLEEPER.


+1!

Leave it looking sleek and sedate on the outside...standard clubby spec until you fry tyres at whatever speed :)

[Torquen]

Looks fricken awesome mate!
Love everything about it, black, big power motor, tidy interior, no sex spec shit.
Top stuff mate, plenty of pics on its progress please :)

[stumps.]

WOW. Cant wait to see this thing finished. It used to blow my mind when it was standard the amount of time you spent keeping everything amazing.

Should be able to beat the old quater time of 14.8 now hey/

[Torquen]

Id say toping 14.8 shouldnt be to hard :p ... slicks, 3 spd auto, 550+rwhp, 1500kg car!

[big o]

that looks really nice.

is that a gt 47r

i would like to see a brace from the engine to the exhaust manifold on the lh side, as when that manifold gets hot it's likely to bend under the weight of the turbo.

the manifold is very long.

A simple section of tube from the head to the flange will save you a lot of drama later on.

[Scaf]

Thanks all.

cplagz- I chose single because i figured i would already have the torque of a 5.8L v8 so i would love the huge boost of one big single, also thought it would be abit different, the trend seams to be twin turbo on commodores. I think it will also make it a little more street friendly, will come on boost later, i could almost drive it around and keep it off boost.

Thanks Jordan, i would love to have it featured! I think its every boys dream to have their car in a magazine. Will keep you updated.

haha stumps, it was a 15.8. It had problems..

big o- Yep i will be making a brace from the head to the flange, was going to get onto that this weekend.

[cactus]

He forgot to mention that he built those manifolds himself ... and will be doing the intercooler piping too ;)

I think the tri-spokes are bombed.

[Scaf]

That's a maybe on cooler piping..

[kirbo]

Impressive! Engine bay layout looks great and the car in general seems very tidy and original. I'd have to agree with those saying keep the OEM rims. Good luck with it, looking forward to more fab and dyno sheets. :)

[e30_power]

nice ride! 355stroker turbo, hell yeh!

[Kilma]

DO LIKE!!!

Keep the rims. They set the car off nicely. Only problem is you won't be able to fit the 335 tyres on them you will need. :lol:

[KPWISHN]

Look forward to seeing the end result. Very cool setup. Are you going to stay IRS? There are some tough IRS setups coming out lately that can take some torture.

[YOUR MATE]

Would look so porn on a set of these. KWC Forged alloys.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!

[Scaf]

KPWISHN - Im going to see how the IRS holds up, dont think it will like 4g 20 pound launches on slicks... ill look into my options once the car is going..

Yeah ive always liked these but at $1040 a rim they might have to wait..

Here are some pics of the extent of work done on the bay, all done by Vulcan Panel and Paint in Malaga.
Top top top quality work, and great guys/service.

Also a pic of my shifter installed.
Fab'd up a panel to lower the shifter down into the tunnel so it doesn't hang out of the console to high and look like a tacked on after thought..

[XF Falcon]

sweet as :D

[Bakerboy]

nice gona be a sweet ride

[VT SS]

awesome car dude cant wait to see more progress :)

[Smoked]

thats one fucking sweet engine bay job.

[Ryan]

loving the car matty good work

[Gladio]

daaaaaaam! thats gonna be sweet! looks good already! My mate got a VS clubby nearly identicle with a 355 stroker also, I should show him this!

[Tocchi]

very nice !!!

budget build? whats that :p

[Scaf]

Thanks all.
Tocchi you of all people should know there is no such thing as a budget when it comes to cars..

[S133LTR]

If your dump/exh goes down the same side as the shifter cable heat sleeve the cable. They are weak as piss when it comes to with standing heat.

Sweet car, meat pie and owner/builder ftw.

[Scaf]

Yeah i will do mate, im pretty sure it is the same side..
Lost me on the meat pie comment lol

[S133LTR]

308 is a aussy made motor
ppl can refer to them as an aussie meat pie

[Pav]

That engine bay is coming along VERY nicely!

Does it matter that the driver side runners are longer and the exhaust gas has a far greater distance to travel than the passenger side?

[Scaf]

KINGD- haha ok never heard that one before.

na man it doesn't really matter. With the capacity of a V8 it doesn't really need the good flow of a smaller motor. As long as the turbo has constant exhaust pressure it will work well, tuned length and all that means very little on a v8.

[yeahlow34]

That engine bay is coming along VERY nicely!

Does it matter that the driver side runners are longer and the exhaust gas has a far greater distance to travel than the passenger side?

I wouldn't have thought it would have too much of an effect on a single turbo. So long as the inlet piping is the same length, or single piping. Would have an impact on a twin setup though.

[SQUIDO]

this is gonna be a killer ride man..looks sweet as and gonna have the go aswell...top job

[sam5709]

wow this car looks like it gonna be a beast, looks shmick as, cant wait to see this car all done :D

good work!!!

[DRKWRX]

Nice work looks quality, should sound/go hard!

[SLE 355]

Awesome work on the Engine Bay, Smoothest i've ever seen on a VR/VS!!
Top job so far, Hurry up and get this thing finished!

Btw, When did Vulcan move to Malaga??

[RICEY]

Engine bay looks sick!

As already mentioned leave it looking stock on the outside will upset a lot of LSx owners when you overtake roasting the rears hahaha

[lazy6]

awesome loving everything about this keep the clubby rims on!

[Scaf]

Tony, no idea why i wrote Malaga haha they're still in Canning Vale.
Its really starting to get some progress now after sitting still for a little while a few months back, remember when it was ment to be finished for Powercruise 08', its gone a completly different direction since then!

[WRCjosh]

doing a solid job there bro, good luck with it

[Scaf]

Cheers Josh. u still want those seat frames? or im gonna chuck them..

[evil.e30]

cant wait til its finished.

lovin the shaved bay btw :)

[dstyle]

what exactly did they do with the engine bay, just plug up holes and smooth it?
mind me asking what it cost? looking at getting somthing like this done soon

[Chase_d]

love the work done on engine bay, will be a very nice set up once complete.
Rims somewhat arent that bad, as mentioned makes car look alot more of a sleeper.

Whats planned for interior?

[Scaf]

The bay has had all the factory lumps and bumps on each strut tower beated out and all the holes welded up. Also 3 panels have been put in, as seen in pics, one to lift the original battery location up to match the other side, another put behind the pass side strut tower, and one last one behind the drivers side strut tower next to the brake booster. The radiator support has been completly smoothed and the chassis rails boxed.

It cost me $2200, but Vulcan said they will never do another job like this again for that price, they didnt realise the amount of work involved in a later model commodore and really under quoted. They said its roughly a 3 grand job, so expect to pay around that.

Hmm interior will cop beige/tan leather to the front and rear seats, probably change the rear seat to something different like a vx/y hsv or calais rear. Black carpet and the plastics dyed cream, with black highlights, and a few autometer gauges. Would also like a my roof lining to be cream suede. So will be nothing over the top, just nice and neat. Will also eventually get a cage, would like a 6 point but will probably be a 4 point with removable side intrusion bars.

[sky_high_psi]

slowest build ever....

haha at least your doing it right the first time matt, not like you know who...

[cactus]

RAAAAAAAAAAAANDO lol

[Scaf]

hahaha raaaannndo.. ;)

[Scaf]

For those that wanted to see my interior scheme, here is a pic of the rear seat.
its vinyl with suede through the middle. Wasnt going to go vinyl but its about half the price of leather and to tell you the truth i cant tell the difference. The upholsterer said its the best vinyl on the market and most people wont know the differance. I would have liked leather for the wank factor and to keep with the quality the rest of the build it getting but i thought fuck it.. might do leather later on when i have more money to waste on interior.

[masterA]

Very nice mate!!!
Should be a very nice/quick car once completed!!

[kris]

Lovin' it matt!!! any updates?

[Scaf]

Haha cheers kris. Hmm it goes to get cooler piping and dump pipe tomorrow, so I'll get some pics up when it's back.

[Scaf]

Thought i'd throw up this pic of it with the new manifold on.
Ill have some pics next week once all the cooler piping and that is done, im sooo happy with it so far, looks amazing.
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5497/picture35208.jpg (http://img39.imageshack.us/i/picture35208.jpg/)

[family guy]

ready for motorvation?

[Scaf]

We are going to try get it running for motorvation, just on the standard bottom end. It will look finished, and should be able to do skids, just wont be the 355 and T400.

[duste]

I'd be happy too, that looks immaculate. How long after Motorvation will the built bottom end go on?

[Gladio]

that looks awsome dude!

[Scaf]

I ment im happy with how good a job has been done on the cooler piping, but yeah im stoked with it overall.
Shouldnt be to long after motorvation, couple of months i hope.

Anyone want to lend me a set of killa rims for motorvation? Will pay for new tyres after..?? Ive only got the tri's and wouldnt mind something more 'showey'

[Marti]

awsome car and awsome build, have always loved that series of club sports XD

[AMUSEME]

welcome to borrow mine not to showie but big.
In photo above

[ACTIV8]

what did manifold set u back?

[kris]

*whistle*
looking tidy as

[stumps.]

Much love

[Scaf]

Cheers stumps and kris.

Thanks AMUSEME, that would be great!
I have a guy sorting out my proper rims for the car, but i dont think he will get them before mv. I will see how he goes and be in contact closer to the date to sort something out mate.

ACTIV8 the manifold was 2200, i wanted a group a one but cant justify 5g's on a manifold.

[mitchy]

may have missed it, but what power are you aiming for with the built motor?

i LOVE the engine bay... smoothed, V8 and a turbo, what more could you want in there?

[deaf_rattle]

awesome build so far.
so nice and clean!

[SQUIDO]

becomin a fan of this car..lookin forward to seein the end resulte

[AGIT8D]

cant wait to see it do 1

[IWARNDU]

lookin good mate..
gotta get it out once its all done..
and make it two of us who cant wait to hear it do one

[Scaf]

Thanks guys. Dont worry it will be out, i just hope i dont get a yellow, or else im fucckkkeddd.

Mitchy, it makes what it makes, to be honest im not sure, but if i was to put a figure id say round about 650-700rwhp figure? Hoping to run around the 18 pound mark and with full boost expected at about 3500ish i want it to rev.

[Huy]

Nice one, mate. Big snail and sexy manifold is win.

[Miggy]

I'm in love!!!!!!!! This has to be the ultimate streeter. Well done!

[Scaf]

Thanks guys, its great to get such positive feedback.
Love both your rigs.

[Scaf]

Here are some pics i found of it in its glory days haha stock as a rock.

nice car champ! bay looks killer, never was a big fan of the vr/vs but this one is very clean!! i like it, great work, p.s if you got any old 5liter parts you wana get rid of pm me :)

cheers chris

[stumps.]

Pretty sure its been alot longer than 1.5 years mate ive been in my new house for nearly 2 years.

[Scaf]

Shit your right stumps, i've had it for 3 years now almost to the day and these photos are from not long after I got it. So yeh be around 3 years ago, shit time does fly.

I went off the road in April 2008, 1 year and 8 months ago now :(

[DanWA]

Looks like you got one of the rare ones thats still in good condition to, fuck i looked at some pigs while looking for a VR/VS HSV and people still wanted top dollar.

[Scaf]

Yeah I got it for a bargain aswell, old wog couple that had had it since new.
It wasn't for sale, but I had noticed it sitting in their garage for years, so I asked and they said they would sell. Probably still be sitting there if I didn't ask.

It's not bad, paint and body pisses me off the most, just few scratches and ripples, and dents in a door where they used to hit it everytime they got out of their other car in the garage. Most people don't notice, but I'm the fussiest person I know, so it angers me.

[Scaf]

Couple of quick pics of cooler piping done, will get some better ones tomorrow..

awesome, love your work on this car!

[scj91]

twin pipes into one on the manifold looks way hot!

[Scaf]

Thanks guys, might add all cooler piping and dump pipe done by Grgich per4mance, absolute top quality work..

[thommo]

this is an awesome build. cant wait for the final results ! its a shame that polished dump is going to tarnish

[Milhouse]

shouldnt tarnish too bad, will go a nice golden colour :)

engine bay looks awesome !

[schnoods]

Thanks guys, might add all cooler piping and dump pipe done by Grgich per4mance, absolute top quality work..


They've done a few crazy VR/ VS 's that i know of, your in good hands there.


Just out of curiosity, do you have a set of roller rockers lined up? Just saw the pressed steel type, i assume you are just dummying the motor then rebuild?

Yes they have indeed.

Yeah thats a completly standard motor just for dumming up, we were going to run it for motorvation, but arnt going to have time now. After motorvation the motor comes out to be built.

[S133LTR]

That bay is looking a treat man, awsome work.

[ED40]

*drools*

[XF Falcon]

Very very nice, nice and shiny pipework too :P

love it man progress looks good !

Fantastic!!

Love that engine bay, should go hard when its all complete!!

[xr6turbo]

yeah scaffiniii

[xr6turbo]

didnt get to see u at motorvation mate. but saw all ya facebook pics. looks great. how long u rekon till u finish it

[kalais6]

hanging to see this thing finished - very tuff bit of gear and with a lot of quality names involved with it

[IWARNDU]

looked fuken mint at mv bro..
sorry i didnt come over to ya, sortin my car out most the day lol

[1JZNOSHIT]

also saw the engine bay at MV, looked pretty bombed. keen to see power figures!

[DCIEVE]

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who spent a few minutes staring at this engine bay each time I walked past at MV. The fab work, in particular the 1-2 into the tb is mint.

[Scaf]

Thanks guys, i was absolutly stoked with the responce the car got at MV.
Pete, im hoping to have it done in the next couple of months, but if the rest of the build is anything to go by, double that.

thanks mate, its a couple of months away hopefully, It just needs the engine built now. I cant believe i have to rip everything out of the bay again..
Also spotted a pic of it in the MV section of the latest Autotrader haha pretty stoked.

awesome attention to detail! going to be bombed once its all done mate

[Scaf]

Just the motor needs to be built, I'm finishing up the wiring then the motor will come out.
While it's getting built the diff will come out just for a gear swap and spool put in.
Also fuel system needs to be setup in the boot and lines run.
That's it. Also a couple of little things, such as manifolds ceramic coated, and the rest of the exhaust done.
I've got a box lined up, just need to work out what stall I'll need.

The interior also needs to be finished but but I'm focusing on getting it running first.

[Scaf]

Just to fuel TJ's Street Antilag Commodores love, i thought i would do an update.

Motor is currently off getting machine work done, so motor is basically the last piece of ther puzzle. Besides wiring..which im dreading.

Have been finishing off the interior while i have been waiting, its all done besides the front seats which im waiting for the trimmer to finish.
Huge thanks to Chris at TrimCare, he did an amazing job on the trim.
Ignore console and rear seat not sitting right, they were just placed in at time of photos.

that is major win, first time those lights have been done properly without looking ricer!

[VT SS]

Hell yeah man this is coming along very very nicely :)

obviously they're all on in the photo but with the lights in your roof do they all turn on at once ?

Console looks schmick with the shifter too man very nice work on everything so far !

[INSINR8R]

Unreal Scaf, looks awesome.

[Basic]

Wow this build is amazing, you should be proud mate. If half the builds around were done to this quality we would have a lot more quality cars getting around. Just a perfect example of how to do things the right way.

[rat]

love every bit of this car, nice work!!

[jaybee]

i have a massive appreciation of quality builds like this, coming along very nicely mate!

droool! very nice cant wait to see this out and about running.

[Scaf]

Thanks heaps guys!

[AGIT8D]

om nom nom nom!!! Looks sweet man!

Are the lights in the roof so you can make sure your hair is perfect from all angles in the rear vision mirror?

Love it mate cant wait to see this thing finished.

[Scaf]

Stumps... please. I wake up with perfect hair, I just add a slight amount of Spiker for maximum hold.
Unless this thing pulling like a freight train messes my hair I shouldn't have a problem.

Car is average. Your bro's VX Clubby is heaps better.

[Scaf]

My bro doesn't have a VX Clubby so not quite sure what your on about?? Bloody rice drivers.

[DBLDOSE]

Nice car man, love the interior.

And didn't your bro have a blue VL?

[sprint347]

Very nice mate, well done.

I've got Coulsons in my Falcon, they used the front headrests at the back and it's wrong... are your rear headrests out of the VX interior as well?

[Scaf]

DBLDOSE - thanks mate, yeah he did - only for his L's and a couple of weeks of his P's.

Nitrate - I'm a little confused. You have coulson headrests in your rear seat in your falcon? any pics?
My rears are re-trimmed vx calais.

[sprint347]

I have a 'Herrod' interior and want to replace the rear headrests.

The embroided bits will be replaced

Whoa! Ive never seen anthing like that before! So whats Herrod? An aftermarket place that fits out falcons?

I dont really mind that rear seat. but ive never been a huge fan of massive headrests in the rear, unless they are properly moulded into two buckets and dont sit up to high above the parcel shelf.

As i said mine are out of a vx calais, vt-vx Calais, Berlina and Senators all have similar rear seats with the adjustable headrests. Senator rears are the nicest with alot more bolstering, but they are hard to come by.

[Scaf]

..and thanks heaps ED40. :)

[lazy6]

yep thats true i sold all my calais seats off and now ive had senator seats for the last year or so and theres a big difference in the rear seat.

I'm not a huge holden or ford V8 fan probably due to being from the UK so im more of a ricey hatch/sedan fan. but what i do know that this car deserves massive kudos ! its perfect, subtle on the outside and not to 'showy' and its got some big ponies under the bonnet...

awesome awesome work buddy !!!

haha thanks for that

looking fucking awesome dude, best vs i have seen. love the attention of detail that has gone into it.

Thanks heaps guys, will keep the updates coming.

[ACTIV8]

rate this build quite highly.. interested to see what numbers u make

[Scaf]

Me too!

[Sfidz]

any updates?

[Scaf]

Im basically just waiting for my motor, its been down at the Machinist for around 2 months waiting on the mains caps from Harrop, what are supposely out of steel.

While ive been waiting on that ive just been doing little bits and pieces, finishing up the interior, completing the boot and fuel system, mounting the MSD gear. I still have to sort out a gearbox but from what ive been told they can be built and shipped from the US within 2-3 weeks so thats no problem.

Diff is done, rebuilt with a spool and 3.45 gears. Im leaving the axles and the whole IRS setup for the time being and seeing how it copes. Fuel systems is all complete besides injectors and fuel reg. I still need to sort out brakes, im tossing up if to go a big Wilwood setup from the states or a set of HSV brakes... and a nice set of wheels.

It will also be running a 50:50 E85 setup.

Exhaust is the last thing on the list, we are going a single 4" oval 'nascar' exhaust so we can tuck it up and get the car low.

Then to the tuner :)

Heres a picture of the interior basically finished, still needs steering wheel wrapped and a few little bits and pieces put back in.

Fingers crossed shes done for Antilagnats...

[AGIT8D]

Aeromotive regs are cheap from the states now, I would look into one of those.

Wilwood > HSV, but don't expect the rotors to last very long if you run an aggressive set of race pads. You will be able to fit nice wheels over wilwoods, no drama. As a guide, I can fit VX SS wheels over my Wilwoods, though my rotors/hats are not Wilwood.

Very excited to hear about the exhaust, I've been playing with the idea of a single oval 4" myself to try and reduce some of the snap crackle and pop in my exhaust.. Not sure how it would work but it would be good to see how you do yours. Should tuck up fairly tight I would imagine.

Who are you looking at to get the box through? I would leave some room for converter teething issues to get it right, seems like a few guys with the blown 8's have been swapping and messing about with converters lately to get the right one.

This is going to peel epicly.

[SSICK]

have got some vz clubby brakes if you want them?

[YOUR MATE]

Have to say I'm not a fan of the venetian's. If it were a calais or something that you might of found them on maybe, but not this. Everything else is so clean and tough, I just think it ruins the look. Otherwise, still bombed. Just finish it already!

[Splat_man]

I was actually going to say the opposite, i am a fan of the venetian's. It's something that sets it apart from all the other commodores on the road.

(well the venetian's and bucketloads of horsepower) haha

[ho57ile]

For a vs that is farking hot!!!! Huge fan. Goodluck with the build.

[DBLDOSE]

Loving the corno haha.

[jaybee]

such a massive fan of this car.

[Scaf]

Thanks heaps guys.

I've had mixed opinions on the venetians, but i like them. They do scream 'sydney leb' but are pretty uncommon in WA and they suit the interior of the car. Plus the side ones cover an ugly gap where the seats dont quite meet the parcel shelf properly - because they are vx seats and parcel shelf in a vs.

Dan - Yep an Aeromotive unit is what im looking at, just going to wait till the motor is in so i can work out excatly what fittings and angles i need before i order it all from the states.

So you can get 17's over your 6 pot Wilwoods? really? If thats the case im sold! Would love to be able to keep the tri's for street duties.

The exahust will be pretty cool, i cant say ive even seen it done before. We are just having a little trouble finding any mufflers with the oval in and out to suit.

The box will more then likely be through ATI racing, they can do a T400, full manual, reverse pattern, transbrake, deep pan, scatter sheild etc. for a touch over 2g including a converter to suit. We will be going a 3000-3200 grand stall and working from that.


Also first page info has been updated.

[YOUR MATE]

Pretty sure Magnaflow's can be had with oval's, and they sound awesome.

[AGIT8D]

What do you need mufflers for? :)

[Scaf]

I'd like to get to atleast the end of my street before it gets stickered :)

[AGIT8D]

Hahahaha you're no fun! And yes re: brakes they fit behind my factory 17s :) shane on this forum will be able to tell you if the wilwoods fitted behind his factory wheels before he changed the rotors and hats as well but I am fairly certain that they did.

wouldnt waste ya money on wilwoods, i doubt its going to see the track too often so spend the coin elsewhere imo.

Convenient when you have HSV brakes for sale :)

Even if you take it to the track once a year you'll have way more fun on good tyres and good brakes than povo HSV stuff.

[thnk_again]

When we say HSV brakes are we talking two piston PBR or 4 Piston AP, Harrops??

[AGIT8D]

Any :P

[SSICK]

never said they were for sale.

i dont want big brakes anymore, swapping them over every 3 weeks for circuit/drag duties is a pain in the ass, so its going back to drag only.

you'll have bulk fun throwing it around a track regardless, how hard you want to push a car that u have just spent bulk coin and many years building is another thing. and will it warrant the 4k extra on a brand of brakes for such rare duties?

[Scaf]

I think when I am ready to buy brakes I will decide what I'm going to go for.

The wreckers near me basically have the Harrop 4 pots on tap so depending on how much money I have to spend on brakes at the time I might just get a set off them.

I will like to do some track stuff in it, but it's not exactly going to be circuit freindly and im not out to break records so as long as it pulls up ok I'll be happy.

I think the only reason I would go the Wilwoods is the wank factor :D

[SSICK]

pretty much the point i was getting at.

[cactus]

Do everything right the first time Matty boy ... nothing worse than not having good brakes that can pull you up over a short distance. Thw Q-Banger isnt exactly a track/race car, but putting the Wilwoods on mine is the best thing I ever did :)

Even more so when you will be running 500+ hp and 1800odd kgs. You need big brakes!

This.

A few grand for a great set of brakes is brilliant insurance against muppets/kangaroos/orange cones at RAC centre/sandpits/walls at Barbagallo etc :)

HSV brakes look pretty, but they are tired after a little belting. Wilwoods have function and form, a decent middle/high end unit. There is better, but that would be for pure race orientation. Regardless of which brake setup you go if you are serious about track work you'll utilise a completely different set of pads and rotors for track use anyway.

I'm pretty sure they told us to drive around them, but I can't be sure, which is why I went around one in circles haha

[Sfidz]

Been quite a while since an update...
Any news of this hitting the streets anytime soon?

[Scaf]

After every delay i could ever want, the motor is almost finished. Basically just need heads put together and bolted on and its ready to put in.

Complete new wiring loom has been put in, and the MicroTech is in.

Still havent got a box or brakes..

Its still getting progress, and the things to do list is forever getting shorter, so hopefully not much longer.

Will get some pics of bottom end together soon.

[SSICK]

good shit.

[180SXTCY]

just a question.

considering you have spent a fair bit of kesh on this making it all pretty and force feeding the donk...out of all the ecu's on the market, why a microtech?

[Passage GT]

just a question.

considering you have spent a fair bit of kesh on this making it all pretty and force feeding the donk...out of all the ecu's on the market, why a microtech?

just guessing here but id' say he chose his tuner/builder first and that was their preference

[S133LTR]

After every delay i could ever want, the motor is almost finished. Basically just need heads put together and bolted on and its ready to put in.

Sorry if I missed it/forgot but whats the specs on the motor if your dont mind my asking? Whos done the machining and assembly work dude??

[Scaf]

Yes exactly, Eddy Tassone who is tuning it prefered to use a MicroTech than run Kalmaker software on the standard computer.
Plus I happened to find Shane Stevens old MircoTech out of PSI355, with a turbo holden v8 base tune on it, so it all worked out well.

The plan is to have it done by Powercruise, but we'll see what happens.

[wormbo2]

Lookin forward to the pics and further updates mate.
I fuckin LOVE THIS BUILD..just sayin'.

keep up the good work mate, top stuff

[Scaf]

Update time.

It’s all slowly coming together…

The motor is now complete, I received my gearbox from the US around a month ago and converter got delivered today.
Hopefully we will be able to put all the driveline in this weekend.

Once it’s all in we can measure up and get the tailshaft built, then it’s back down to Grgich Performance to fab up the exhaust, catch can, rad overflow and surge tank.
They will also wire in the computer and finish up a few other things wiring wise. It will then be ready to fire.

With any luck we will have it down at Powercruise, at this stage we will just be still running it in and will use powercruise to get as many k’s on it before its full tune.

We have run all the figures and are hoping to have around 1100 FLYWHEEL horsepower at 22pound. But im not hanging my hat on that figure, we’ll see what the car does.

I’ve updated the first post with all the motor/gearbox specs for those interested.

Transbrake skid vids to come, watch this space

[S133LTR]

Woah! this is great to watch come together.

How do you keep the cast heads on a stock holden block at over 1000 horse? I see your running the ARP studs, are they oversized? ie require redrilling the block/heads..?

[magic1]

i hope the gauges are going on your bonnet

[Scaf]

Went cast heads purly because we didnt think the alloy would be able to handle big boost without lifting and warping, the head studs are the standard size but a much higher tensile then standard. 1/2 inch head studs are to big once the heads start getting big porting.

Magic1 - you're in luck, they are.

[Turbo2.6L]

I know the larger diameter studs are too big once you have extensive porting on the heads, but will the standard diameter springs handle 20psi+ without allowing the heads to lift? Might be an idea to go the larger studs with slightly less porting if you haven't already had the heads touched, losing a few hp but gaining reliability??

[KAL SPL]

Im not going to lie , this car is somewhat arousing ...

[Scaf]

It's not only the heads, the half inch head studs have been known to crack the bores. The motor is built to be reliable, we didn't go out chasing big power.

It will only run at around 15pound, we will pump it up to 20-22 for dyno comps and that.

[kalais6]

Good to see a few updates mate, looking to be a very tidy package.

Thanks for the comments guys!
We have decided to run smaller injectors to make it more street friendly, so should see abit of street time during run in stage.
Vids and more pics to come.

Darryl, it's basically just extending/hiding wiring so nothing complicated. Will keep you in mind if I get stuck, thanks for offering! :)
