I wouldn't think that would be the case. I have heard on many occasions that the LS1 gearboxes can handle 1000hp. Surely they haven't made them weaker since then

Yeah i dont know Dan

Ive got stories galore... There is no resource like SAU for LS2's on the net... The forums thatare around are all about posting how bigger skid you did last night and not about the cars them selves. You get the feeling on those forums that everyone owns a VN and just says they own a GTS or a R8.... :P

What can you do...

I believe "Power Torque" are about the best in the business when it comes to Chev V8's...

Their talking $4700 for one weeks labour with the following;

* twin plate clutch

* LS2 edit (dyno time)

* sports camshaft

* performace headers

* new 2.5" twin system

* 110mm throttle body

* CAI with performace filter

* oil cooler

Sound pretty tempting... They seem to have a really good reputation so mabey after xmas Ill look into it...

True, but my 32 cost me $12.5k 5 years ago. How much did your mates LS2 cost?

Add of the cost then and you've got a 10 or 9 second skyline

Yeah see your point but to be fair R32's when brand new were around the same dollars as an ls2...

Think of it as a exercise for all 2007 model cars round the 50k mark...

How much do you need to spend on a 2007 model (insert car name here) to mark it 11 second car???

True...apples for apples I guess.

So what would you compare an LS2 with? I did a really nice crap about half hour ago. :P

I wounder if they brake the cam in half like the 6 cyl buick motor pre eco tech. Oh my bad im just judging all american motors must be the same :P

Same could be said for Rb20's, arhhhhhh :P

Nah in the spirit i guess Falcon Boss 290 vs SS Comm 270 would be about fair...

(edit: boss 290 is 10k more than a stock SS comm so its a bit of a price difference)

But i guess im just causious of the damage that can be made and the fact you chuck away factory warranty when stuffing with these things...

how much do you need to spend on a vp to get it to the 11 second mark

Hope...

It does not fall apart if you give it enough power to become an 11 second car

Can I ask, and answer honestlly...

Would you modify a brand new car???

Considering you have a perfectlly good car and all its gonna do is burn more fuel if you f**k with it...?

Also you would loose factory warranty and it could end up being a 50k+ mistake???

Would you honestlly modify???

Cause i think im talking myself out of it, that and id be killed by the mrs for touching another car...

Anyway time for bed for me, Dan if you hear anything about the gearbox's in the VE's let me know???

Cause one guys told me their the same as the V6 gearbox... Another said their good enough to run in drift cars then why worry...

Edit: Ive also been told that they can handle anywhere from stock to 1000rwkw so thats quite a varience...

I also called a gearbox shop and they said they have never had a VE to pull down so they not sure until they get a broken one... :P

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
