475kw supercharged LS9 to be available in 250 Commodores.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/holden-gets-green-light-from-detroit-to-build-165000-commodore-with-supercharged-corvette-power/news-story/4a4519edef971b2cd9219a4eb92b15aa

with performance that will outpace the latest Porsches and Ferraris.

Sounds kinda exciting. Will be cool to see an Australian built car really stick it to Ze Germans.

Gee another chump driven hero car that we need to put up with drag racing every skyline on the freeways.

Oh well we have another ego to crush I suppose.

Don't forget the new ford mustangs! I've already come across a few full blown spanners weaving in and out of peak hour traffic.

Hmm American muscle power plant in the iconic Aussie Commo.

Not sure how that might be received..

Anyone remember the reaction of Holden fans when the VL came out with the RB30.

They were disgusted at it, but much later became very popular as everyone slowly realised the potential of the RB.

Another mongrel Holden.

Are you serious? The commodore v8 has been a chev since 2000.

LS's are all american engines and been in holdens since the VTs.

Aussies have always loved the SB chevs since I think 1969 with the HT monaros.

And Chev have been rethinking the Camaro is well so we may yet see it in Aus......then we will all be able to buy 'new age' american muscle if we can afford it. And there is always the Camry :woot: for us poor downtrodden plebs.

But we all be driving Tesla's by then!!!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
