inb4 3 way rolling drag between leigh, turbo dragon and myself

We're all RWD yeah? We can do standing start, but not much forward movement will be happening for the first 3-5 seconds for anyone though. Will be a great smokeshow though :cheers:

Shitty suspension and stock diff I wont be going anywhere till 2nd-3rd gear

Pretty sure Leigh's supercharged auto will demolish me from a standing start

Yay! I've decided to supercharge the 6L and car is booked in for the 30th to get the charger fitted and tuned :woot:

Decided to go for one of these bad boys, mainly because it looks stock-ish:

Looks pretty inconspicuous despite the badging. How much power you expecting? Who is doing the tune?

Shitty skyline suspension > "above average" commodore/falcon suspension ;)

Yah, liking it cos there's no massive supercharger belt out front and almost everything is hidden under covers. Might have to find a way to cover up the badging, like vinyl wrap it or something haha Has 12" long inlet runners so apparently the torque gains are massive when compared to Magnuson and Whipple chargers.

MPW will be doing the work and specialise in boosting 8's. They installed and tuned the cam for me and I ahve been stoked with their service and attention to detail so far, so was a no brainer to hit them up again when I decided to go forced induction.

With the smaller pulley (10psi) and current combo, on 98 the tuner is confident for high 300s at the wheels. On E85, well over 400rwkw :)

vwlbc drags night on private track

AKA dandy factories

considering my ute is tail happy with maybe 130ish...I'ld hate to drive it!

admittedly holden don't have cart springs for rear suspension, but then they don't tow/hold as much.

now that in a sports wagon would be fun.

Yeah my car definitely be better off the line than on roll, the more gears I go through the better - dat auto gearbox ftw.

Or take your cars to the drags and try to better my current best of 11.61 :D

Do they still want $10k for that kit?

Did it come with any supporting mods? Injectors/fuel pump etc?

Seems a bit pricey for labour and essentially bolt-on parts.

Should just buy a couple of sss pulsars amiright?

lol, nah im serious. i wasnt the only one who thought it was pricey, especially considering they quoted turbo conversion for the same price.

Yeah but think about the type of bloke who supercharges his commodore... they're probably almost all FIFO workers

    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
