Ive seen this question Pop Up on the Forums Time And Time again so ive decided to Post up My View on the Cheapest Build up method to getting Your car into the 11 second bracket. Turbo: T04e or Larger (www.gcg.com.au (http://www.gcg.com.au)) 2nd hand turbos fully reconditioned can be found here for as low as $900 and a lot are Highflowed eg. T04e/T66s Depending on the Turbo You buy depends on the boost u can run, most of the 10 second vl�s u see down at the track are running between 20 � 35 PSI on very large turbos. Wastegate: can be found 2nd hand on forums for as low as $300 or purchases of new around $600+ (45mm + is recommended for high boost) The Standard Exhaust manifold has proven to be able to run fast times, and can be adapted to allow these larger turbos and Wastegates to be Attached, by Adapter plate for the turbo, and a wastegate bracket welded just above the turbo on the exhaust manifold. Usually costs a couple hundred dollars. ECU: Microtech Mt8/Lt8 can be Found on E-Bay for around $600, usually Costs Around $300 to wire up. (www.ebay.com (http://www.ebay.com)) Good Tuneing is a must, and Maztech are very well known for the Microtech Abilitys. Injectors: 550cc Injectors (Reconditioned Bosch 363s or Denso�s) can be picked up for as low as $150 ea, 363s may need adapting to suite VL fuel rail, tops cut off them to remove O-ring. Fuel Pump: you can either use 1 of the following setups, ur cheapest way would probably be useing 2 x VL turbo Fuel Pumps with a Surge tank as they can be picked up as low as $50ea off the Forums. or 1 Bosch 044 Pump with Surge tank, or 2 x 910s with Surge tank. ( Surge tanks can be purchased for as low as $100 ) The Standard Fuel Pressure Regulator has seen many cars run into the 10s, but if ur in need of that Little bit more pressure in ur fuel lines u can use a Malpassi Riseing Rate Fuel Reg can be found for around $180 new. Transmission: Fully Rebuilt Jatco, 3 SPD full manual shift, Transbrake, Cooler ( http://www.keas.com.au/products.asp?tc=6 ) is very sufficient to pull 10 second passes as Proven on AeroVL�s car off the Forums who has the Auto built with the 4 SPD option with transbrake and has run a 10.5 If ur not into the Autos then Give it a Go with a 5spd Manual with strengthened clutch. Exhaust: 3� Mandrel Bent Exhaust With Custom Dump Pipe $700 new Intercooler + pipes: PWR front Mount $900( www.PWR.com.au (http://www.PWR.com.au) ) Piping can be purchased from as low as $350 or a nice powder coat job around $700 at Bresciani. The Standard Inlet Manifold has Proven to be capable of 10 second passes, but will need the addition of a XF throttle Body to allow just that little bit more. Catch Can to allow big boost with less spike. If the Motor is in Top Condition the RB30 has proven time and time again to be capable of takeing Big Boost and produceing Large Power without many recommendations, but if you want to be safe you can throw in a Cam and some Forged Pistons. Slicks are a Must. Diff: it has been seen Many Vl turbos still Retaining 3.45 lsd's but if ur after that little bit more Strength and Torque, u can change to a Mini Spool and u can also use 3.89:1 gears from the Skyline as there much cheaper than 3.9s My previous VL calais turbo setup had a very similar Setup but some of the Fuel Gear Slightly smaller, and was Done at Bresciani, the Car Produced a 12.1 @ 111 Mph on a very low boost of 14 psi with a quick tune before hitting the track on its first ever pass. [url] If i have left anything out dont hesitate to add to this Thread or Correct me on anything i have written as this is for the Benefit of Everyone on these Forums.

mate hows ur vl commin along whats happening now to it good thread mate should help alot of vl turbo people out there

not bad good effort. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

not bad but id go for 4.11's oh yeah i think JET-6 could get the cooler cheaper than that..

also youl need the song "eye of the tiger". put that on for every race, adds 30 mental horse power.

Blody Oath JR84VK5L, any ways the thread was very helpful FLWLSS, now i have some idea of what to try n buy, well save for at least.

Where can I get a 3" exhaust with custom dump pipe for $700???

great post - well done!

try dandenong Exhausts. or buy 1 2nd hand off the forums.

very good write up.... the only thing that kind of gets me is how you put down the 3 inch exhaust iwth custom dump pipe for $700 now that does include cat and muffler?? but over all very good read up nice job mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Catch Can to allow more boost with less spike? err.. isnt a catch can used to catch the oil that comes out the breathers, then return it to sump, rather than it spraying all over the motor?

'Catch Can', seen as though its called that it only catches the oil that is blown by the rings from some serious boostin' so rather than feeding it back into the intake (as factory setup is done) u get a catch can and that way its not throwing ****ty oil back through your intake preventing a good mix of fuel/air When ya catch can fills up, your in trouble usually unless u havent emptied it for a year or two Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what about suspension set-up?

yeah well done flawless. would definitely recamend forgies or atleast a rebuild with some ACL pistons, rings, barings etc. As FLWLSS said not essential but definitely recomended if you want a car that will out live the winter. Depends on boost levels though i guess.

Great post i now have many new ideas and more knowhow on price thanks

to get a full trim VLCT pulling low 11's what power will it need to be makin if it was auto, small stally and stock diff gears? What power would the above set-up do if it was a standard hi-flow turbo...? thanx QUIKVL

What power would the above set-up do if it was a standard hi-flow turbo...? thanx QUIKVL i would say around 250kw at the wheels but your standard auto would probably strugle at 180kw or even lower. a major hi flowed t3 will give you this much power as long as youve got a good fuel setup (injectors and fuel pump) because again standard stuff is probably only good for 180kw. then of course you will need an aftermaket computer aswell. some times i think people on this site underestimate how fast an 11 sec car is but it definatly is quite achivable with a vl turbo. like people have already said you can do it on the cheap by buying second hand parts from the forums on this site

RWKW's means nothing, a car with 200rwkw is capable of a high 11 sec pass, it all depends on the setup on the car, accelaration, how fast you can get to that power level, not how much power you can get.
