yes i do, and id use a nissan one.

I have used 2 ACL ones, would never use one again.. Used 1 nissan gasget and it was still alive when the bottom end wasnt. And didnt the monotorque gasget company go pop? wouldnt use any of them gasgets..

thanks matty, what an idiot, this thread is about high comp setups. not whether your car looks good on matrix rims. edit: post deleted that was quik. back on topic, looks as though the monster will be finished in 5 months Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mine im going for around 2 more months.. im going like "its allmost done!" Then have a good look.. alot more work but meh.. i got time befor im off good behaviour..

hey guys i just got myself another block to bolt my turbo gear upto and when we went to put the plug in for the turbo oil lines there was no hole there to put it in, usually they have a bung that can be removed, has anyone ever came accross a block like this? and does anyone know why they are different? cheers Scott

you need the series 2 motor not series one

I had a series one first and it had the holes cut from factory, the bloke that is building it has converted heaps of vl's to turbo and skylines before and has never seen one like it. ever. I have a mate with a stock as a rock ser1 vl non turbo and it even has the bungs in the block.

your series one probably had an engine change at some time, and the mechanic probably hasnt worked on enuf RB's to come across one with a series 1 block, or the customers have all looked into it before hand and know series 2 blocks have the holes and bought s2 VL's lol

Anyone want to buy this? http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93...0128Medium.jpg (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/GhettoMatt/DSC00128Medium.jpg) 6 VL V8 coils at $70 each and the ign box from an RB25.. $300 bucks the lot. Im keeping my single coil and trying to find an MSD.

And as i was saying before one of my mates has a stocko vl exec owned from new, s1 and it has the holes in it. Not sure if the early s1 engines were different than the later s1 engines tho. but his is defenatly s1 with the holes in it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i haven't read thru all the pages of threads, but do all you people that have converted to turbo, change the oil pump to a turbo one?. it was my plan to do this but found out it is a huge hassle just to get the crank gear off! is the na able to cope and supply enough oil? thanks

its been done.. and 10's have been run on the n/a oil pump. but i dunno if id take the chance. its not that hard to get a crank gear off. and swap them over.

whats the fastest mf5 then??

wouldnt be to quick before it munted every gear inside the box, theyre pretty crappy boxes.
