A friend of mine has just got his VC Commie tuned and its pushing 480+HP at the wheels. He did an RB30 conversion and put that in and its twin turbo. It looks like an old commodore but it goes really nuts. I was thinking he might do high 10's once he has it all in line, that is one fast street car.

I will try get some pics for you guys or get him to post here.

The pics are large so feel free to zoom.

He still needs to put his front bumper back on.

He is running Twin Garrett T25/40 ball bearing turbos.

There are also some pics of another friends SS torana with a RB25 in it... its not finished.

sounds like a beast and a nice sleeper :)

if its manual, 10s will be a big call without smashing unijoints, and bending diff arms on slicks (i had trouble with both on only 350rwhp in the vl)

i think auto would easily get 10s and sure does save that driveline :P

i gave up with the commodore cause i was told only way to upgrade uni joints was a ford 9' diff and then i need a tremec 6 speed which is about 8K so i gave that a miss :(

4wd is the go :D

but must admit ill be missing the crazy sideways action of the vl :aroused:

good luck to the owner and hope to see it on some cruises :)

cya guys

480HP at the wheels in a Holden chasis, i couldnt see that getting anywhere in the 10s unless he puts some of the money to some serious suspension and drive train work.

but least he's realised what power you can get from nissan.

Thats prolly the dumbest thing ive heard. It has a nine inch diff with a mini spool and a live rear end. What do u think all the super street cars run at the drags ? Let me give you a clue its not nissan IRS thats ripping out 1.5 1.6 60ft times.

mates lh torana, totally stock susp with decent shocks, 9", 400rwhp, consistent 10.5's 1.5/6 60ft's on 8" slicks at the western nat's. jxl you have no idea

there is also an lj running around with a 26-a top bloke, but this vc looks insane

there are trevs who think v8's are gods only way to go fast,

unfortunately,

there are also a newer breed of ppl who think imports are the only way to go, kinda like a trev, but with a japanese flavor, blame fast and furious for that.

there is more then one way to skin a cat, repsect it for what it is and watch out for it to rip out some awesome times.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
