Hey guys, My name is Ben and live in Mt Isa Qld (moved here from brisbane 12 months ago) A bit of backround first, I'm a massive rev head through and through, however I'm not really exclusive to any brand of car. I generally go for anything that is not mainstream yet still performs above and beyond what is expected. I've been in the motor industry for approx 11 years with half of that being exclusive to the exhaust/fabrication side of things.
I've just brought my first ever holden. I can honestly say that I've never been a VL fan let alone a holden person in general but at least i got the model with the mighty RB30 a strong motor if i have ever come across one. This was one of my workmates cars that i had done alot of work on for him in exchange for alcohol. I managed to get it for $800 however later on he brought some stuff off me so as it sits the car owes me $400 (no not drugs)
Anyway just thought I'd pop my head in to say G'day and am sorry if this is in the wrong section so if the mods feel the need to then move it as required.
Ok so the base is just an auto exec, it's got a chinese T04 on top of a high mount stainless manifold, 38mm external gate holding 8-10psi, front mount cooler with 2.5inch piping, 3inch dump pipe to stock cat and 2.5inch system, malpassi rising rate regulator with mix-n-match injectors and RB30t chip. When i did the turbo conversion for the previous owner it was all done correctly i.e running smooth but he has run it into the ground in terms of maintenance.
lol yeah it does look a little rough around the edges but i am sure it will come up good with a bit of tlc. sounds like there are some good bits in that engine bay though
