hey is there much hassle to swap a vl v8 head that has a carby to a say vn onwards head that has efi also i want this twin turbo charged will a th700 auto fit up or do i need new mounts etc and where can i find a v8 twin turb kit or do i go supercharger

if your asking those kinda questions it's too big of a job. no offence intended mate!

the injected heads have a different port configuration, therefore you also have to change the exhausts, intake and camshaft. I believe you'd have to make your own exhaust setup for a twin turb setup. A centrifugal charger would be the way to go IMHO. Why do you want to go injection? Both forced induction methods will work with blow-through carbs!

i want a manifold setup like eddy tassoneis vh had sticking out the bonnet and supercharged is probably the way i would go now vortech v2 by the way has anyone seen those superchargers that was on stra8z, its a vk featured in street commodores i think it was a wiend 250, roots type, this would be mad as i would have forced induction but still have a big ass k and n filter sticking out the bonnet like some calais ive seen then with 19s vygts wheels and slamed stance my car would rock

LOL ring Active Automotive. That's Eddy's shop. If you want a manifold/Turbo setup like that expect to pay well above $30k

Hope you got lots of money... going EFI is one thing, but twin throttle bodies with a couple of turbos is a completely different ball park. 5 years ago I spent $15,000 on my VL going from 3L auto to VS injected V8 manual including a few extras

fark 15k! That conversion could be done for around 4k nowadays!

guys i dont want horse power like eddys i want wow factor, a biit of go factor and to be unique, im reaLLY chasing up that idea of the weiand 250 roots type blower with carby and big filter out the bonnet,. im going auto th700, setup like street was in street commodores, also im thinking the twin turbo kit that street got as well i can get a efi v8 pretty easy, my cousin knows peoples that have heaps, so engine no problem, but again i like that old school setup i talked about, i will get pic to show you guys

If this is a street car, roots style blowers are illegal unless you can find a b&m low blow and keep it all under the bonnet. If you keep one carby u may be able to pick up reasonably good example of say a 6/71 for around a grand...no intake manifold etc. then ofcourse you need the intake and carburettors to run it, plus you need to re-tune them all the time as they go out of tune and you will really need someone who specialises in this kind of tuning to do it AND theyre a pig on the street unless theyre injected. should you stick on an injector hat...theyre big dollars. on top of this you really need largely ported heads etc to make the most of all that forced induction. If you go the efi style engine with vn heads etc and you must have that k&n air cleaner sticking through the bonnet just go for a harrop or torque power high rise manifold. trust me, you'll get an aircleaner poking through the bonnet without a problem. you can also put a good size cam in this way to make the most potential out of that manifold and have heaps of 'go factor'. I like the turbo 700 idea though. im doing the same.... i dont know for how long one would hold up behind a blown engine though....most guys use turbo 400's and glides for a reason. If you add up the costs a decent injected engine rebuild with high rise manifold etc is gonna be around 5-6g and a turbo 700 stage 2 shift and fully reco'd will be around 2-3g not to mention the rest of the driveline. if you plan on supercharging add a few more grand to that price and if you want to play with twin turbos then you can probably double or tripple that price by the time you get through all the customising and tuning.

or you can buy this, forget about efi heads, just build a strong bottom end add a referenced carb, turbo box and 9" and you are away http://cgi.ebay.com.au/B-M-SUPERCHAR...QQcmdZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/B-M-SUPERCHARGER-UNDER-BONNET-HOLDEN-308-EARLY-STYLE_W0QQitemZ170014901490QQihZ007QQcategoryZ130666QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

great pics tezzasvl, not that's a neat setup!!!! love the 2 inch belt.

thats STR8AZ's engine bay I think, that black VK with the kit that got stolen that thing used to scream like a skun cat.. have a few vids at home of it. awesome car.
