that is a nice lookin engine bay good work 2 who ever built it

u can EAT off that engine bay

clean as!!! anyone know power figures?

that is a MINT engine bay more direct intake through the plenum (less restriction and better response) computer upgrade, ignition upgrade and probly cam etc id say maybe bout the 130 rwkw mark if she has been done properly but who cares its awesome verry clean Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

F*** that looks awesome. Credit to the person, who built it. I'd love that set up in mine. I wonder how much it cost. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

160 out of and na is more then enuf its more instand and would sound awesome

more than enough for what? Most people on here would consider it slow, and most sane people would consider it very slow for the money that has been spent.

Excellent bay. Very impressive. Is the owner on calaisturbo.com.au ?

Please lets not turn this into yet another "N/As are slow" type thread. We don't know what the motive was behind this. Maybe he wasn't looking for insane figures, or even going "fast". My old man's 5L Calais isn't the fastest VL on the road, but it's still a stunner.

sorry Ryan i didn't mean to turn it into such a thread, i think it's an awesome bay, but obviously one of the most important topics based around this engine (if not THE most important) is the discussion of why someone would do that to an n/a, so i don't think it is off topic really. I didn't say a car needs to be fast to be cool, that bay is 'stunning' but it would still be a dissapointing drive for the money spent i imagine.

I'm thinking it's possibly a show car. I've gotta feel sorry for whoever owns it, because there's no doubt you would get wankers that wouldn't know sh*t from clay that come up, and bag it because it's non-turbo. (By that I mean d***kheads who rely on Fast & the Furious for Automotive information, not the people who know what they're talking about) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So Jack in other words. Jack LOVES drifting Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i dont feel sorry for him, you cant build a bay like that without knowing your ****, lots of very well pulled off things there, so he obviously knew what he was doing and had his own reasons for doing it n/a, feel sorry? I think not, i envy his attention to detail and taste in fact!

No doubt mate, but he would probably get alot of wankers, that only have the word "Turbo" or "Dose pipe" in their vocabulary. lol Yeah I envy his attention to detail too. I wish my bay was as neat as that.

thats what my engine bay looked like..... then i woke up

Dead thread lol his car is slow? By the same law he could say all your cars look like **** lol n by the same law top fuel drag cars with immaculate finishes and corporate sponsership could say your all a bunch of nict picking part time petrol head wanna be's but is that true or is it an opinion? I think the guy knows that polish doesn't make it go fast. I Think it looks awesome n It's a beautiful machine. But that's just my opinion

My point is still relevant, regardless of the date. I'll be back in five years time...
