Hey everyone just thought I'd put up a post about the car I recently bought off good mate wonderboy. For those of you don't know the car or haven't seen it i thought i may as well put up it's current mods and the future plans. As it is now my blue baby has hdt kit with simmons 17's. Motor has high flow turb with bosch 044 pump, surge tank etc a r32 5 speed box and few other bits and pieces which previous owner has told me added up to a touch under 210rwkw. Since getting it have added little luxuries like central locking and remote start alarm and engine rebuild has already begun out at Adelaide Engine Developments. Sourced a rb25 head for it which has been machined already and have bought a gt35/40 turbo for it. The instructions given to Darren out at AED was to build me a motor with over 360rwkw and he has told me it should end up maxing out the gt35/40 's power abilities. It will be low mounted using a 6boost manifold and will be setup to use e85 fuel and because of the large amount of internal work being done he is confident of that power figure on only 14-15psi. Have sourced another bottom end which engine builder will give a freshen up and has already bought some pistons and rods for. About to get a r33 box for it this week with triple plate clutch. Going to turn it into a four seater using the hdt leather seats from the ve vk retro car. Will be getting wonderboy to drive the car for me on the cruise next week as lost licence for another few weeks yet.

nice work mate! sound like you have some big plans for this car look foward to seeing u at the cruise

I caught up with Todd last week, and he told me a little about it and what plans you have in store with it. Sounds good man, taking it to the next level. 300+ rwkw on such little boost would be very ambitious, but all the best. When it comes time to it being finished dont dwell on the power figures so much, but how it gets the power to the ground.

I'm not too concerned with power figures as I want the car to be streetable and start first time everytime. The power figures at that boost is simply being passed on from what the engine builder said to me. As Todd can tell you I'm not as knowledgable on engines etc as you or him are which is why I am just passing on what's told to me. After contacting HDT for interior it doesn't seem worth doing for the outlay. Was wondering if anyone has used proseat for interior before? If their work is considered ok I will be getting interior made this week. The quote has been done for 4 ve gts seats and will prob get this colour too... Will be done in Dakota leather which is used in the latest BMW prestige package so I'm told. A bit concerned about some of the feedback on this company and the turn around time as i want them done asap so if anyone knows of a company that does ve gts on vl rails could they let me know and also the name of a good local company who will install and do the rest of the 4 seater conversion ---------- Post added 15-11-11 at 17:54 ---------- Just in from engine builder, progress report of work done so far... The main parts that have been aquired for the job are; Mahle forged pistons RB30 suit 25 head Manley H beam conrods Supertech +1mm inlet & exhaust valves Supertech Hyd spring kit Camtech 264 inlet and 268 ex cams with vernier wheels Head has been CNC Ported with bronze guides fitted and all machine work inc welding water hole to modify for RB30 block Block has been hot tank cleaned and is at machine shop to be bored & honed. Currently waiting for the torque plate to be made before machining block, should be ready next week. Please advise model car and turbo being used so I can order exhaust manifold and upgraded sump to suit. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey guys just thought i'd update you on the progress. whilst the new engine not far away the current one decided to play up before I was due to be out at mallalla so took the car to boostworx and had him put in 550cc injectors, vipec v88 computer, the gt35/40 and polish the crank and do new bearings and put the eboost2 in it, end result was 270kw at the wheels on 18psi. also is running a wade 818 cam. also got some pics of the half finished interior with the stereo in. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/252/img0011xe.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/dynosheet.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/403/img0008qy.jpg/

took this for a drive the other day. my first time in a 35/40 vlt. It gave me an erection. And also has winched me back to a VLT. they seem to do that.... looking forward to it with another 100rwkw or so.
