Does anyone know how much it will cost me to convert my factory 5 litre VL Calais to a auto turbo?
What kind of stuff would I be looking for? I know I'll need a new crossmember (K frame) Prices would help aswell.
What kind of prices should I look for when buying a complete turbo engine and auto with computer and loom?
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanx
hey dude i live in tazzy and no one whantz to put it in and the people that will wont even give me a price on doing it till its done not even a ball-park figger which sucks AND HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE ON PULP LATELY???
and a six is cheaper to get rego for by about $100
and my mums bitchin at me about the v8 but she does not know that the injected 8 and a six (turbo) are all most the same power stock and i love the sound of a blow off valve dont you?
id sell my v8 to you but u live in qld and ill want about $1500 min for it with the m21 4-speed to help get the cash for the turbo
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
a stock turbo 6 will smash a v8 off the line easily. mine is reasonably stock, and a new monaro couldnt get past me till 5500 revs in 4th.( not sure of speed, speedo is rooted)
How fast is that anyway?
if you want to go EFI on the V8, I've written a tech article on it as I did it myself.

Cost wise it depends on what you get when but can cost up to about $5000 depending on what you buy new.
