Hi all thourght it was time to show you my car.I first had a vl calais turbo but swapped it so my brother could get a xf falcon called mpresv.We swapped the calais for the xf and i got the berlina.
That is pic of the calais and the berlina.The berlina has had a few set ups on it 1st one was top mount with t3t4 on it was ok but got a bit slow after a while.
Here is what the car looked like at the start

So we started to up grade the set up and purchest a pro boost gt45 for and put that on.Went alot better but not so good down low.
While we fitting this setup we decided to fix up the engine bay by removing the wiring loom and smoothing the bay,put the battery in the boot,au twin thermos,bonett struts.
So we drove it around like this for a while.It had standed injector and computer and a 4 inch dump into a 2.5 inch exhust.It was laggy but we put in some 4.11 mini spooled 28 spline diff in and it made some what better but could get much out of it because of the standard ecu and injectors.
then one night the epa thourght a $1500 fine would be a good thing, so back to na it was.Get a noise test and a roady and put a standard kit on it for a while.
After paying the fine and sick driving it with a t3,it was time to put the big girl back on with some other goodies.I started with nistune,z32 afm,massive wade cam with 540'' lift and avo adjusable cam gear,680 cc injectors and custom fuel rail,bosch 044 pump and surge tank.
While i was at it i thought it better stop as well so upgraded the brakes to a vx ss twin piston calipers and booster/master cylinder.Pedders springs and shocks,k-mac strut tops and white line panard bar and a drop tank for good measure.
Haven't had i tuned yet and i need to get the 2speed and converter for it.Any way let me know what ya think and i will have a look if i have any more pics. thanks for looking

Just an update old na box blew up to got on to a turbo box to put in it for now.I will be getting it put on the duno in 2 weeks to get it tuned so we can see what it can do.It will be interesting to see what kw it, gets i will keep you posted on how i go
yeh I'm hoping to get around 300kw with the na bottom end but we will see how i go. yeh gunna run it at the strip when i put a 2speed in it. thanks for the comment
just a small update took the car to the dyno but only got a straight run in no tuning. car is running very rich,haven't set the timing. car maid 255 kw at the wheels with 630 nm of torque. the tuner seams to think it will be good for 320 to 350 kw not bad for a unopened na motor. i will keep u posted
hi all got the car tuned today it made 351 kw at the wheels and started spining on the dyno. should be a bit more left in it sort a few things out and get some stickier tyres and see how we go
yeah turbo is going great car is apart a the moment waiting to get my 2 speed and converter. i have just hidden the wiring and welded up all the holes.when i put it back together gunna get a re tune and see what it can do with the boost wound up a bit more hoping for a bout 400kw. have to see how we go.
will put some more pics up soon
