only way ur going to be spinning 5th in ur n/a is with a snapped axle, lol, i remember years ago i snapped an axle in one of my dailys VH 202 auto, would fry one tyre thru all the gears no matter what speed ur doing! lol

^^And put on shows for people to make it seem like you have massive power haha. My N/A will never chirp 3rd. Although it does beat almost any V6, inline 6, manual, auto Falcon or Commodore. I'm still yet to know how or why this is because from what I've gathered its not supposed to happen in an N/A VL. The only drag I've lost is with my mates ED 5spd with CAI/extractors. I reckon if I wacked a CAI on mine I'd beat him. He is only just pulling away from me a bees d1ck difference.

Mates ED Futura bloody moves for what it is, 4.0L SOHC 5spd manual 3.08 diff gears, lightened flywheel and HD clutch. Oh CAI, exhaust, and a few other little things, it would munch the vl up for lunch any day of the week. Flys along, hehe but leaves nice little fuel angles on the ground when given a boot full.

One thing is they are heavy on fuel. They feel so much faster then an RB30, but really there not that much. As I said my mate can only just smidge past me from a standstill. He must have a HD clutch as well because his clutch is like pushing weights with your leg. I've noticed they don't rev nearly as much either. 5K seems to be the end. It's the torque they have which gives you that real punchy, faster feeling. BTW - 3.08 gears? Was it a converted manual? My mates has the 3.27 gears.

CLOSE THIS THREAD UNLESS SOMEONE POSTS A VIDEO. Its just a bull$hit bragging session about how AW3SOME MY NA IS!!! NA's arent fast! lol ****!

agreed ^ nobody cares if your n/a chirps third on dry.......gravel

yeah its a bit unbelevable, i would love to see it. We want a video

My mates has the 3.27 gears. Yeah think they're 3.08 thats what he said anyways haha, yeah converted 5spd. Think its a T5 sound about right? Yeah thats one thing that really lets me down about the n/a actually its quick enough to get me in trouble lol but it certainly doesnt push you back in your seat like some of the larger engines. Price you pay i guess. Quote: Originally Posted by EN94GE CLOSE THIS THREAD UNLESS SOMEONE POSTS A VIDEO. Its just a bull$hit bragging session about how AW3SOME MY NA IS!!! NA's arent fast! lol ****! Lol come on give the kid a break, at least its in the n/a section lol.

lol i cant believe its got to 3 pages to tell u the truth lol, and i wasnt really compairing the ecotech to the rb30e. Id still take a rb30et over a ecotech any day of the week.

right youll get a video soon im just working on the motor curently well its at the mechanic we blew something big during the burnout Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Vids or GTFO!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Id still take a rb30et over a ecotech any day of the week. seriously?like to build up or as a daily?coz if you would take a RB30 over a ecotech in a daily ur seriously selling urself short,ecotechs are smooth,economical and exreamly reliable engins with a lifespan of around 500 000 ks when treated normaly,rb30s were great for there time but lets face it,anyone who drives a vl daily is ususly someone who has an unnatrual love for em that clouds there judgement when more practical cars were available.........or a bogan.

Video or ban... I need a laugh at your epic fail. No video of engine bay shots. of course not. We dont need to see the super secret n/a power engine.

I wasnt talking Daily driven i was talking about performance wise.

This is why he doesnt want a photo of the outside of his car........ His Exhaust He reminds me this good ol friend of ours... hence why no pics of engine bay... remember rogers intercooler piping thing on ebay? lol and here is his fully sick bodykit.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What is so hard about believing a N/A 5 speed chrips 3rd gear???????

This thread sucks.
