This is a bloke I worked with's house mate. 151kw on the same dyno my 2ltr was on which made 152kw.. not a bad effort.. not a cheap one either.

lets see how long it lasts!

Wow, it managed to make less power than my B4 pretty much the whole way across the rev range....

Not a fan to be honest.


Sure now he has a bit of poke. But the car isn't a package - where's the happy yumcha LSDs? Gearbox? Brakes? Handling?

Should have sold it and bought an XR6T or something like that. Go straight in a fast line. kthxbai.

Kind of cool that he tried it, but surely for the money, you could trade up for a GT and have change left over. And get the bigger brakes, better gearbox and stronger engine that come with it, as well as a clear and easy upgrade path if you decide (realise?) that 151kw isn't really that much.

I like that he tried it, 151kw is respectable if you ask me. Especially if it lasts a decent amount of time. I'd prefer to see more people do this with the 3ltr to be honest, but good that he had a go.

... its making 151kw on 7psi.... 7..... I made the same with a td05 at 16.8psi..

Brakes, he has some stupid big after market ones.. can't recall what.. they made brembo 4pots look small

has coilovers, not sure which

Dudes works in the mining industry, he can afford it. if it pops he will put in something better

Many ways to skin a cat.


Having a scalpel blade triple dipped in 24k gold and encrusted with diamonds before you start is one way I guess.


But in reference to your thread title: YEAH NAH.

Yes Richo, but at what revs did you make that power. 3500rpm???????
This engine, due to supercharging won't make that until almost redline.
Which would you rather? I know which I'd prefer. Yours.
Come to think of it.........................mines kinda the same

Seems like a good attempt at something different......i would be keen to hear what the car sounds like....

i had a Raptor Supercharger on my old VT V6 commonwhore, and it was about 240kw atw at about 7psi, the thing sounded like a 747 jet taking off.

they are a good kit

woooooow

M800 hurt a lot, but what hurt more was the labour charges. West spent A LOT of time on this car.

Raptor were a bit concerned about the power nosing off at the end, but to drive, it is a lot of fun. Take off from the line is incredible. With the exhaust, it sounds like a demon. Im going to grab my housemate's GoPro and take some vids next week.

THE ONLY PROBLEM is that West couldn't find the CAN address for the tacho and thermostat, but the speedo and fuel guage are working. We might work on it ourselves when I get back from work next week.

Also, I have the Hitachi G8 ECU that came out of the car. Took the cover off and there isn't much there!

that sounds so expensive it hurts.

motec m800 is >$3500k + min $100hr for mech i cringe at the total cost.

props for doing something different, but a tuned twin scroll liberty gt would have better throttle response, torque and power all over the rev range.
