Hi Guys, I am sure many of you know about this car. If you dont here is a run down. This VL Calais Turbo is one of Australia's TRUE fastest street legal VL's. It is the first GAS VL Turbo to run into the 10's and currently is Australia's fastest LPG VL in the land. It is raced WITH the full exhaust on and PUMP Fuel. Only thing I change at the track is front runners/slicks. On 23 PSI the car has managed a 10.84 @ 123.8 MPH. The car has now been retuned and managed 300 RWKW on GRA dyno. Run down of the car is as follows: Engine RB30T 7:5:1 Forged Pistons O-Ringed Block Wade Cam Induction Garret GT 40 Turbo (700 HP Roller) Custom Extractors Custom Plenum Chamber Garret (RRD) Custom intercooler 3" exhaust Twin B2 Gas Convertors Awesome LPG throttle Body Ignition Haltech IG5 M & W CDI Ignition System (Motec CDI) Fireball Crane Coil ICE 9mm leads Driveline Keas 3 speed Jatco Auto.
