holden rulez lol

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.

[PSIKO]

Is he in claremont too? Will keep eye out for him

Did he put together an rb30dett or use the vl's rb30et?

[Remix-]

As long as he remembers that's Nissan engineering powering it

[Kaido_RR]

is everything else stock? i would like to see that thing handel around a concer with that power

[blackanator]

theres a bloke some where in perth with a vp/vr ute (not sure what vseries so excuse my ignorance for the push rod parade.) - hes got an rb25dett conversion goin, fitted himself and all that, doesnt go too bad at all.

[skylineracer1]

yeah, hes apart of antilag the thing does 12's

[Drkside]

Its all great when going in a straight line, but stopping and cornering...I don't think so!

May be a Nissan power plant but it sure ain't skyline chassis and suspension

[teejay]

some ppl dont care about stopping..... or turning... 400m warriors

this is the guy that works at kingsway with the stock looking vc with 2540's right?>

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.

I should be going in it tonight. Will let you know how it goes.

RB30 bottom end forged rods n pistons with rb25head and twin 2540 turbo's .... can anyone say torque ??

who is this?

[R32-GTS]

Ok well went in it. It hauls. So much torque down low its not funny.

I see that thing at Kingsway everyday when I go to school, I thought it was just a VL turbo engine dropped in a VK style body.. Obviously not..

[JXL]

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.

[RB26VL]

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

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

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

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.

[DCIEVE]

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

[teejay]

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.

saw this out cruising last weekend

it's a weapon, just wheelspins hard when coming onto boost in 3rd and 4th gear

[Kaido_RR]

pretty sure i spotted: it turning out of a bp near kingways shops. didnt think it was turbo untill i hear the bov
