Hey VL-EXEC i pm'd u bout whos building ur engine.. im ready to do mine just wandering who ur using?

Quality Engineering at great prices. Ring for a quote. I'm sure John would work out a good bang for buck HP engine. http://www.powerhouseengines.com.au/

Great work this has helped me with my build also. Same sort of figures i was lookin for and gives me a rough price so thanks vl exec.

buy an na engine, and get gtx35 on the side and injectors and boost, u want 250 at wheels u can do that with an na engine! with how ever many km's on it waste of money all that!

Nah its just been cleaned

So have just been reminded about this thread so just thought id give a bit of an update... The motor sat in this stage for a couple of months so i could arrange a quote for paint and panel... The next step was to get the engine back in the engine bay and have everything dummy fitted before paint which was booked in for mid Feb, however the painter is currently still finishing off another project so has asked for another months (mid March) So car is currently at the workshop... First stage was custom exhaust manifold, GT35/40 .82 rear, Turbosmart 50mm waste gate and dump pipe So currently waiting for PWR Intercooler and piping (should be here this week) CPC Street Plenum and throttel body, once thats all set up ill pull everything back out and send it in for paint...

Good work mate u must want it bad lol that's insane I can't imagine spending that much on a car even compared to buying a new car. Have u bought a house if u have that much to throw on an engine. Hope u enjoy every cent of it. I'm going to build a stock spec 30et 1 day n spend all my cash on Oil, Cooling and Engine management systems. That's what can let the engine down, no matter what it's got in it. Oh and stupid drivers. Cars arnt ment to last n there short n sweet enjoy them y you can. would you pit ur weakest part against the strongest part in your engine? It comes down this in my book

Money is all worth it, do it once do it right! Try to do as much as i can myself n get prices to save money... I didnt just decide to build a car n borrow money, i saved for around 3 years, made sure i had enough money to get the car finished before i even bought it, and yeah got the important things done before i worried about doing a car... any way here are some more photos, motor is coming back out as its going in for paint soon, wrapped all the parts up for storage... Finaly found a donor car as well, all original stock VL Exec for $400 will post pics soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice build BTW. Who built your custom exhaust manifold if you don't mind me asking.
