Im looking a buying a VL to build into a weekender/ drag toy. My plan is to run to the 10.5 sec limit and still drive it home. What sort of gear would i require to get to this goal? Forgies or just a mild rebuild? Thanks Matthew

35/40 injectors exhaust ecu cooler built auto good tune

Overnight parts from Japan. Here's a thread to an 11s build. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=15681

Should be two lists, one for auto and manual

well manual is the same combo... except a decent driver.

well thats you stuffed then MORGZ haha

Id end up skipping the built auto and go straight to a glide so i can go even harder in future. So a forged motor isnt a required at this level? What sort of cam would i need?

If a race prepped glide isn't a built auto I don't know what is. I'd go n/a bottom end, high comp, big cam, ecu, big fuel, e85, glide, 35/40 or t04z, stock turbo diff If it pops, throw another $250 bottom end at it and repeat :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How much power would you need for a 10 second car?

I mean skip building the stock auto and just go to a glide. I remember reading some where just throwing some turbo spec pistons into a na motor will make it handle the boost a bit nicer. Will have to run it on 98 as i still want to drive it to work then the drags.

"just throwing pistons in" you make it sound so easy haha Just as easy to upgrade fuel system and then you can pump the boost anyway (unless your still on stock ECU)

Yeh right what sort of engine build would you have to do?

But to do the motor properly I'd need new pistons rods bearing and an oil pump? Then get it all machined and assemble? I'm a mercanic everything sounds easy until you do it haha.

N/a eng 3 layer gasket 35/40 Injectors Ecu Cooler Exhaust Tune That there mods seen my old calais thru to 326rwkw on 18psi thru a mf5

"But to do the motor properly I'd need new pistons rods bearing and an oil pump? Then get it all machined and assemble?" Your the mechanic mate hehe. But regardless you will break stuff. Also add parts-falure into the mix, but as long as your willing to accept that sh1t happens and keep trying for that 10 then you will not fail Seeing that your best bet is to start with a vl SL or Executive youd also need turbo 28 spline diff to stay safe.

Whats a mercanic?..lol cheers darren
