Id love to see a tuff all motor rb30 26 head and the rest. If they can get over 300 flywheel hp out of a n/a 202 with a red motor head, I cant see why you couldnt make 350 flywheel out of an rb30. For starters you could acctually make power past 8000rpm which in near impossible with a 202. Theyre getn good power out of the new alloytecs n/a, one of them in a torana has run low 11's!

Na man...he posted that in my old thread awhile ago...but i swear i see him in brighton....

bloke on the r31 skyline website did a N/A rb 26/30 in his skyline i'll see if i can dig up a link

fast n/a's are the real deal!!

14k for an n/a?

I think that purple/silver vl calais is for sale on carsales. I think he wants like 15k, IMO i dont think its worth it

Just reading through this and saw that someone mentioned a fella on R31 Club doing a N/A 26/30 - here's the link for anyone who wants to have a looksie http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/i...topic=104694.0 (http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=104694.0)

what kinda price would i be looking at for a full std turbo setup for me n/a vl? and where would be the best place to hunt for one?

You will find heaps on this website in the For Sale Section, under driveline. Can go from anywhere between $600-2000 for an entire setup, including injectors, intercooler, turbo, manifold, ecu, dump pi[pe, front pipi, just to name the bare necessities.

probably $1000-$2000, but you shouldnt run it past 12psi if you want it to last

I've heard about people making an adapter plate and throwing on a supercharger off a 3.8 Ecotec, considered it myself but never looked into it, (If my sis gets done for having a charger on her Stato on P's, might consider throwing it on the VL, if possible) so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it, and how much gain you'd get..If any. Besides, being a P-plater in a VL with a big f*ck off charger hanging off the top, the cops will bust your balls.
