Before I got my VL I had a VC turbo.It had twin carbies,forged Arias pistons,roller rockers .Yella Terra head,in cabin boost control(mechanical/air)Turbo cam,regraphed dizzy.T3 with 1.06 housing.In 1983 it was fairly unusual especially with the 3inch pipe.Boost was upto 19psi with water inj.On the same dyno on consectutive runs on 13psi it was 50hp more at the wheels than a VK Grp A

There was a 202 turbo made from factory and it was on a UC Torana one of the last engines for toranas made. they meddled around with that before stopping torana production. only 200 made i think

ive spoken to one of the engineer/test drivers from back in the VK days (he still works for them now but not as a driver, just an engineer), and he said they twin turbo'd a VK V8 with plans to make it a police pursuit vehicle!

In standard form its so good, the only thing changed on the VLT motors was the pistons (lower compression only), cam and a few ancilleries (slightly higher flow oil pump and the nessasary water/oil lines for the turbo). Head, blocks, cranks, conrods, valves etc, all the important stuff is the same. You would be foolish not to follow the trend, but i can understand if you want to be original in a show car etc. Yeah there old and etc etc blah blah blah With the right bits N/A they will make over 300hp. There used to be one kicking around that was about 380rwhp turbo charged... It was in a LJ 4 door from memory. Not bad for an old motor.

i remember reading that holden relsesed a uc 308 single turbo!! they only made 3 of them....... i think it was like a concept car or something like that. well one of them in england in a museum, and the other one australian radio announcer john law owns!

didnt the VB commo come out as a highway edition that was a turbo 202? some guy was trying to sell it on ebay a while ago and looked fair genuine, car was fairly rough though and i think he sold it for about $2000.

sorry to dig up an old thread but was googling turbo kits and this came up. some have said they see these turbo kits in the trading post sometimes. just wondering if anyone knows where one of these kits are being sold now? preferably in the brisbine region?

turbo 202s were bought out in kingswoods, toranas and vb-vc pretty tame setups stock but that kind of power was pretty big for that era, specialy considering its from a 202! the kits are a garret stratta kit that arent made anymore but they pop up on ebay occasionaly. if your looking at running any more 10psi id look at going custom exhaust manifold and VK efi manifold so you can run a cooler, as the stratta kits are draw through. if youve got a red engine may as well upgrade to the 12post head so the VK efi manifold could be used. the ol 202 can be made to handle quite a bit of power and boost even without forged pistons! the 202 in that LH torana above is running somthing like 27psi and the red torana in perth that is running 9s is running 25psi! the LH has some custom oil system mods and some trick water jacket mods to stop water leaking into the cylindar. all with acl bearings and ACL race series pistons, stock crank and rods (same bottom end as me )and yella terra head, nothing too hekitk! heres some info i found a while ago on the CDT packs, pretty interesting considering its from the 70s! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

very interesting read there. still gotta find one. i noticed thats for a carby setup too that info. which is what i want

ive seen a few,so not realy that different.

i remember seeing a webpage that had a completly orig LH (i think) torana with factory turbo 202, but cant find it! heres some good reading bout another turbo torana that goes to show the 202 can make some nice power! http://www.litre8.com/history_body.html

theres one in the swaps section of the Quokka this week(perth) factory VC turbo swap for another commodore to the vale of 5k was very tempted also an AE86 in there for 2k with good body and engine two awesome projects rite there

mmm as unique as a factory turbo 202 is....its nothing special once u get past the manifolds and turbo. the carby isnt big enough to support much power, and the manifolds wont support an intercooler unless u hack them up lol so your left with a standard low comp 202... may as well start from scratch! ill be ditching my manifolds and using a custom exhaust manifold with a 4 barrel inlet manifold still using the GRA t/b though....see how it goes lol so my manifolds will be up for sale shortly Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
