JPC built engine with small hydraulic camshaft
JPC built turbo
JPC inlet manifold
Made 520rwkw but was backed off to 500kw due to needing bigger fuel pumps
Best 60 foot tonight was 1.58 so there is plenty to come
Will get dyno sheet on Monday
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
saw this car run tonight. Sounds good up top and comes home strong. Car completed 2 full passes hard on the throttle and best was a 9.3 @ 150 then a few throttling on and off ones of 9.5 - 9.6 passes.

spot on Jim. when a workshop has a customer car are pulling 150 mph you get to realise which workshops really know what they are doing.
im guessing a few cars will be up at heathcote this weekend if weather is good

When i fix it !!
Somthing wrong with the cylinder head (cracked)
The head was just from a stock NA VL and we just bolted it on and crossed our fingers so that head is going in the bin!!!
Saw 36 psi on the dyno the other day!! Do you think that is a bit excessive
for an engine with stock rods and cast pistons
Anyway Mark is going to do a head for it the coming weeks, get it back together and go from there

Far out, the Vls are having are coming out the woodwork again
150mph is tough as nails
BIGPSI, on 36psi, do you program the boost to come on later so it doesn't hit
the rod's as hard or was it a mistake?, whens fullboost?
cheers

arent the heads same wether its a n/a or vl turbo head??? im slowly gathering parts for my engine and asked around heaps (not just Alan & Bill) even called holden and the corresponding part numbers are identical - only difference is the valve springs & cam shaft. true?

Yeah they are the same
All I was implying is that the head was off an NA VL and it was pretty average
And I should have looked for something better

We changed the turbo to a .84 rear with the .70 700hp front
The rear housing is meant to be external wastegate
But there is no wastegate
So it will make whatever boost it makes
Didn't get a chance to make any power cause of the head
But with the new head and 36 psi i dont know how much power it will make
Hopefully not to much if you know what i mean
I guess ill find out in a couple of weeks
