Ive been thinkin bout strapping a turbo to the side of the 202 in my VH for a while and i heard holden apparently released a 202 turbo in the VC, with similar power to a stocky 308, but i am yet to here of or see one from the factory. Has any body seen one..?? or know if this is true....

Are you sure this 202 Turbo VC you've heard about hasn't been an aftermarket fitment? Cause I haven't heard of Holden playing with carby Turbo's at all.

it might have been, but it was available new from sum holden dealerships. well so ive heard

it would be cheaper to slap a 308 in it than go through the hassels and cash of getting a turbo fitted and working with the old 202. Just a thought :|

Its never been heard of because Holden never released a turbo VC from the factory. They wouldnt go to all the trouble of getting ADR compliance etc. and then only make one.

there was a UC torana that was turbo from the factory

Holden did not make a commo turbo before the VL, but HDT did "improve" a select few VC 202's with a turbo. I remember reading about this in a mag - never seen one in real life. apparently VERY few were made (10 from memory), and almost unheard of too. Have fun tracking any of them down - or any information for that matter.

My mistake above - it seems that Garrett made turbo kits for the Red and Blue 202's in the late 70's early 80's, and apparently some dealers put them on VC's before selling them as a Dealer Option (hence sfa info about them).

Would be interesting to see a stock VC whistle away off the light's

come to the gold coast inflyt theres 2 turbo 6cyl down there - both vhs but

Yeah but one of the VH's (the blue one) is running an RB20, not a turbo'd 202.

pete the two i know are both white. both had blow thru turbo setups , mind u it was at least 2 yrs ago since i spoke to him.

I remember a Commodore 6 turbo released years ago and yeh it probably was the VC. Showing my age here...blushes. ops: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

your not that old............................................... ....grandpa Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd love to get my hand's on one of these 202 Turbo set-up's. I'd just buy a $1000 VC heap and bolt it up and have a ball doing burnout's for a whole hour!

few aftermarket shops do them now also a 4/71 side mount blower too , there was one of these at the hot rod show last year mmmmmnnnn nice

Quote: few aftermarket shops do them now Might be a bit pricey going about it that way. I talking about a full budget Turbo combination.

i have seen the setup in the tradingpost for sale a few times, if i remember correctly it was a t4 turbo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Holden had a HX turbo 308 showcar in 78 I think... Holden and Garret were doing a lot of litttle things like that apparently, see what they could come up with. They came to the conclusion that what they had wouldnt sell that well I think to pay off the effort... factory turbo V8... hmmmmm...

Quote: i have seen the setup in the tradingpost for sale a few times, if i remember correctly it was a t4 turbo Same also, but haven't been sure whether it is a factory set-up or a bunch of piece's someone has slapped together
