Damo brought me his vx to sort out. He ended up buying a setup from another customer of mine and a vx to put it all in. After I finnished putting the engine together.
He fitted the engine to the car after it had a fresh respray in the factory colour, then dropped it off to me to do my thing.
Fitted the powerglide and torque converter.
Fitted ethels old intake to it permanently and modified so rails he supplied to fit (they later had to be swapped out)
Fitted a wastegate to a set of my manifolds he had hpc coated
Fitted an intercooler he supplied and fabbed cooler piping to suit the intake and turbo he supplied
Fabbed and fitted a full 3.5inch exhaust system in 304 ss
Fitted a supplied trans cooler
Fitted a supplied battery box and relocation kit also Tidied up and routed the factory body wiring to suit the battery relocation
Fitted a b n m Rachel shifter for the glide
Supplied and fitted a surge tank with 2x walbro 525 pumps and 8an feed line.
Fitted 2 x supplied catch cans in the front bumper area for ease of servicing and to save what little room was left in the engine bay.
Supplied and fitted all turbo water and oil lines.
Supplied and wired up ecu master black ecu and supplied ign1a coils and brackets
The car tuned up and was really nice and responsive the fitted pulsar 3584 gen3 1050 turbo had little lag and responded will to the cam kit installed, sadly the converter was also way to loose for the spec and it reeled off a best of 543hp @ 30-31psi according to the onboard map sensor but made well into the 1200nm of torque and very little wheel speed for the 2 speed glide.. the setup still has alot more potential and im keen to see how it goes with a converter change to really put that torque to the ground or well turn the tyres.
