I spoke about this in another thread, but my plan was to use RB26 turbo pistons with the RB25 head to achieve a compression ratio of around 9.8:1 in N/A form because the RB25 combustion chamber is about 6 cc's smaller than the RB26's therefore you get a higher compression ratio. Another approach which is more challenging would be to fit a Holden engine back into the VL, I'm talking about the 190 kw 3.6 litre with a 6 speed manual, providing I could get a good one without any timing chain issues, someone has done this on another site to a VL Calais sedan. yeh by the way about that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

LOL^, and as if people dont understand the meaning of slappa? minimum moolah for maximum fun and not giving a !@#$ if it blows Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Trying to get out of this costing less than $200 out of pocket expense! Yes I've got a lot of parts laying around! But still ! ---------- Post added 14-06-12 at 13:55 ---------- Okies going a much much easier way! 6 ls1 coils daisy chain the 3 ignition outputs to the 6 coils! Done!

Nice work Lars. Clearly a lot of people don't know how you drive cars lol. Look forward to seeing some skids.

Regards look towards the falcone coil packs, the holden v6 ones run a dfi module... which complicates matters somewhat as it has a mind of its own kinda...

Spool do a timing belt kit for the twin cam conversion too if you haven't got one sorted

Hey mate let us know how you going setting the timing

got to sort out the r33 tonight, then will be working on the vl tomorrow morning, picked up the belt, using a gates part number T306

Sounds good mate my mates having timing issues with His 2530 he was saying he can't get the timing marks lined Up properly and that he may have to reposition the idler pully

Quote: Originally Posted by rb25vlt8 [View Post] Sounds good mate my mates having timing issues with His 2530 he was saying he can't get the timing marks lined Up properly and that he may have to reposition the idler pully mmmm the pully's shouldn't really cause a problem! sounds like it's more a problem lining the top up with the bottom, how many teeth belt did he use, 150 or 152? as long as the belt is done up tighty and the belts not jumping it shouldn't be a problem, where did he mount it?

have you got a budget you are trying to stay below for this slapper?

im taking thats not including the head...
