Hi guys Ive got a VL with a stock RB30e 200ks in it and im buying A T3/T4 turbo off another member in here.. Also getting http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=265431262 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=265431262) This is going to be the start of my RB project still got to get intercooler,wastegate,2 1/2 inch exhaust, fuel pump, have changed all oils in car and replaced front discs with DBA and ferodo metal kings pads locks up my 235/45/17 real good. Im not after huge power or 3gear burnouts just a bit of boost 0.4bar/4-6psi.running on 98 prem so how long do you think it will last? Im planning on doing all of it by myself in the garage even getting my own timing light I have VR Clubsport that i take good care of but i want to keep it standard. Easier for insurance.. I got a VL for a daily and its Great but the idea of having a turbo vl would be sweet.... Any advice suggestion would be great.. Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
