Same thing I thought incidentally with 600rwkw dyno pony...

Put a GT35 on it, then there would be interesting... If you can keep it pointed in the general direction of forward of course :D

It will have weight advantage on it's side though to be fair. It's a SL or similar so IIRC they are around 1250-1280 stock which isn't bad. Final weight would be interesting with the heavy Ford 9" but reduced fuel tank etc.

Didnt notice the 9" part.

LOL 9" diff in a VL that is a "circuit car" and not a drag car

Did some google, looks to have some sort of 4 link in the back but thats about it...Cant find any real details about from "it makes 11ty horsepowers"

Variety is the spice of life!

Good to see more than just a bunch of evo, wrx and gtr's going around.

That said, I don't think it will set any records. If it adds aero and some good sized rubber, it could be reasonably quick.

At a recent supersprint at EC, the old Larry Perkins VL Group A racecar reeled off a 1:48, so I would expect this VL to be similiar and perhaps a bit quicker. 1:45's?

I say 10 :)

At least the ba had v8 supercar suspension.

And tyres they are twice as wide lol.

I did notice in the pics the VL is on full slicks...might be even more intersing once he throws some semis on it.

Standard VL guards are tiny....he would be lucky if he could get 235's under it at that ride height

Googled him:

Street Commodores says, "Jason is currently fitting up his 12in wide ROH wheels and mid-way through a wide-body conversion to help the car in the aerodynamics and traction department"

And on calaisturbo the owner said it's "1380kg with driver before the nine inch, so bloody heavy with that in". He also said he hasn't driven it with this engine/power or on semis.

I couldn't find any times for the car except drag and dyno results.

What do people think about this entry? Absolutely flying at Mallala recently and with more power and room to wind up it should be quick!

Also has too much horsepower to be useable.

Look at the Pro Class cars, with the Exeption ofMark Berry and Lofty most of the quick cars had around 550hp give or take.

No need for 800hp circuit cars...espesially RWD ones.

Sold the car

Really?

Was only talking to him and is was sitting in the shed not that long ago. They decided to give WTAC a miss this year.

Lofty is a busy boy playing with his stupid fast Toyota Starlet in IPRA atm which does 42's around the creek with a restrictor :thanks:

Oh...I thought he sold it...was for sale then the ad was gone from my105.

my bad

42s for an IPRA car is fkn flying!

    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science
