Okay now i got ya jack wen you told me about this vl, man thats fast well done to all contributed to this, an on another note a35/40 should go into the nines with no probs as ive seen them real in just under 400rwkw an thats way more than enough to dip into the 9sec bracket.

This turbo package is from my VL which has run 9.81 @ 142mph @ 32psi on a standard engine with a cam and valve springs - This turbo set up can make 450+rwkw @ high boost
What you get:
800hp 35/40 big comp and exhaust wheels - .70 comp cover .63 exhaust housing
Oil feed and return for turbo
Modified standard exhaust manifold with 50mm PSR wastegate
Modified engine mount to clear the comp cover
3 1/2 inch dump pipe off back of turbo with wastegate plummed in
Very impressed with what these turbo's can produce,Ive heard Rajab's ran 10.0 with a 600hp GT30.82 too....
It just goes to show that with a decent cylinder head you don't need to go so big with the turbo as the engine is becoming more efficient.

Above 8.0 but below 9.0 sorry for the vagueness but gotta draw the line somewhere.
well done to the owners and people who helped put this car together.
Wheres all the people that bashed me down once saying a 35/40 won't run 140mph or 10's even, with a MANUAL put your hands up
real animal of a car!
this is street driven aswell, i was at the shop earlier and bigmac came down to put the street tyres and exhaust back on and he was heading off for a drive!
Lol if I build another VL i'll keep my RX7... wanna buy another car as a daily as well, so then i'd be stuck with 4 cars until the VH was sold. My next VL won't happen til next year..
