hi is there an online exploded view of a factory vl turbo as in factory service manuals

I doubt you'll find one anywhere of the whole engine. You may find sections of it like the heads, the block the plenum and so on but not all of it.

if you want to see a exploded engine you can come have a look at mine hehe

Road trip to Petros' place. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just wondering if their are any sites with diagrams of the VLt motor?? even small sections? If not can someone scan some manuals and put them up, i'm sure everyone would like that..... (just a thought)

what part are u interested in , i can prob scan something

anything and everything, pull apart diagrams etc... i'm hopefully doing a conversion soon and i can't find sh|t all on the net. i got a N/A manual with my car with everything on it, but i can't find a VLt manaul anywhere ( i even tried bookstores and libraries), even a T3 brakdown would be helpfull.

i got all the stuff at home and can scan it in but not there till next week, remind me then and ill do it for ya

will do. thanks.

I've got the genuine turbo manual but just the removal/instilation section is over 30 pages and thats just for the turbo stuff! If u can be really specific i may beable to help u! PM me cos i might miss checking this thread!

hey dude.. not the turbo version, but still worth a look. I quite like this pic. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

man thats a kewl pic... now only if the na went as fast as they look...... :mrgreen:

If someone was willing to lend me the manual or a book for a few days, i'd be willing to scan every page and put it online. The pages i need most are the installation/removal of the turbo, the oil and water lines for the turbo and the inlet manifold diagrams. So basically anything associated with the turbo, and not the actual motor, as i have all that with my N/A books.

exchaser - where'd ya find that pic, any more like it???

it was from www.autospeed.com they did an article on the vl

That pic came from the original VL sales Brouchure. Corsa

Is this the sort of thing u want? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"thats beautiful" yep thats what i want... if you think of anything else that might be usefull, feel free to post it here. thanks allot. P.S. Does everyone stick to those torque wrench specifications?

man buy the books form www.pitstop.net.au all 3 costed me under 300 dollars delivered, and the books are Genuine GM holden books. Theres even a book that contains all differences between turbo and non-turbo cars/engines. If you plan on doing something right, cant go wrong with the orginal books... tells you how to rebuild an engine step by step, what kind of tollerences, what to look for and what part numbers. Cant go wrong. They are basted in perth, but if you order before 6pm today, it will be at your door 8am tomorrow... thats no joke, i was shocked as i thought it would take 3 days. These books are a must for a serious engine builder who has had no prior experience with an RB30E RB30ET.

Yep, the one posted above is the best for turbocharged RB30's CarCrazy told me about it. Cost me something like 70 bux delivered to my door. Well worth it..
