Yeah i use plastic jerry cans for my e85

Don't 100% trust it not leaking so it is slightly on an upright angle when in the boot

Sweet as, thanks bud!

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

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

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

I'm guessing high compression stroked motor with masssive cam? Pretty decent numbers for a N/A for sure!

yep

[emts]

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.

[UNR33L]

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

[Leroy Peterson]

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?

[Leroy Peterson]

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

[UNR33L]

kits usually come with anything you need, probably doesn't include labour though

<-- happy with his stock supercharger

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

[Leroy Peterson]

Lindsay Fox would still complain about paying $12 for a bottle of mount franklin.

Your point is irrelephant

[Sunkist]

Probably wouldn't spend that on a pulsar either

I have 4 mates with blown 8's (not inc sau peeps)
