Good buy for someone wanting a coffin on 4 wheels.
Sounds like alot more work would be required on this baby to be complete and I highly doubt engineers reports would be obtained due to firewall modifications.
Good Summernat's car.

The "ROD SHOP" in castlemaine you know that Rod hadfield bloke. He has conversions for absolutely everything. Give him a call or go to www.rodshop.com.au (http://www.rodshop.com.au)
He can fit anything in anything. I saw one of his cars yesterday. It was a late model bmw and the ladie driver took it to Rod and said she wanted to be able to keep up with all the P platers. So Rod put a Gen III Commodore engine in it!!!!!

We currently have Supercharger conversions available to suit the VL Commodore/Nissan Skyline RB30 Fuel Injected 6 cylinder engine, Holden Red/Black/Blue motors to suit most applications. (See the picture to the left.) and Holden Commodore 3800 Fuel Injected V6....

The following information is designed to answer some of the questions that could arise if you are considering supercharging a 3 litre Nissan 6 cylinder engine.
The CRS kit is a totally bolt on deal and will totally clear everything in a VL Commodore.
The kit will not fit with the power steering and air conditioning in the factory location.
The blower will boost around 10 p.s.i.
A decompression plate is supplied to maximise performance.
The use of Premium fuel with the fitting of water injection would be required if a decompression plate was not fitted.
The blower is driven by a suppled "A" section belt from the standard crank pulley.
A blower pressure gauge is supplied.
The throttle body is removed and a crossover pipe fitted between the blower and stock manifold.
No blow-off valve is supplied or found to be necessary.
All mounting brackets are suppled and a belt tensioner is built into one of the mounting brackets.
A supplied manifold bolts to the blower and allows the stock throttle body to be bolted directly onto it along with the stock air flow meter as well as a supplied cable bracket and a supplied air cleaner.
The blowers are fully checked and guaranteed.
Fitting instructions are supplied.
We have been testing the kit on a VL Nissan and everything has proven 100% reliable and dyno runs have been performed with the below results (see graph to left). On a totally stock motor with only the decompression plate fitted an 80kw reading went to 110kw with no computer modifications. No other modifications have been tested.
As previously stated the kits come 100% complete and will cost approximately $1800.00.

Not bad for 110kw at the wheels @ 10 psi with no computer mods or any other mods.

And I have no idea why thats in this section.
And go have a read of supercharged section in the non turbo part.. Many lads have done it for a third of the price.

I can't stand "****y" young fellas in modified cars, half of them could'nt control a car. And that's the reason why it's so hard and expensive to get insurance on certain cars when you are a younger driver.
old as thread but i lol'd at u calling me a young fella haha

I have seen a holden 202 in a gem, it was rough, it drove but would never of been able to be reg'd. It was just for burnouts. had to cut the firewall and take to the thing with a sledge hammer, it also had no radiator support.
