Today on The Skid Factory, work begins on Dave's 1984 Holden VK Calais.
Our good mate Dave has owned this car for over 10 years and it has undergone countless man hours of work and ticked up plenty of dollarydoos since.
The VK Calais came fitted from the factory with a 308Ci Iron Lion which Dave had rebuilt and turbocharged. That build looked great but didn't work very well.
Dave then fitted a 6.0l Iron block LQ4 and we made up some turbo manifolds to suit his $400 S400 Turbo. Dunning Kruger Az then rewired the car and wired in a Haltech Elite 2500.
We then sent him out into the wild to see how the car would perform.
Dave didn't have much success with the car and wants to go faster so the VK is back at The Skid Factory to ditch the big old S400 in exchange for a pair of fresh GTX3582R Gen 2 turbos supplied by Goleby's Parts.

The fact the engine is running so well even after his rebuild is more a testament to the GM/LS engine designers, which is why they are so popular, because anybody can build them to a certain level and this is one above his.

Labour costs are just to high to manufacture cars in Australia, when compared to pretty much any other market (this was offset for years by gov. Subsidies). Also at play is how small the market was, being just Aus and NZ with a few other small export markets. So once Holden started selling only GM Global crap no one wanted them and sales declined to an uncompetitive level.

So Al, I have a question for you. I don't know if you'd have a good answer for me or not, but I have a 2000 Mk4 Golf with an AEG 2.0 8 valve engine and a 5 speed manual and I am planning to turbocharge it with a Turbonetics 60-1, Turbosmart Powergate, a Mishimoto front mount, and an HKS SSQV II. I'm not looking for big power, I just want the turbo to fill the performance gap left by the head design when it falls off at 5k rpm. I have the manifold, turbo, wastegate, blow off valve, oil feed and return lines, 1.8t injectors, and I still need to buy an intercooler piping kit. However, my biggest issue is what can I do for tuning? I REALLY hate to say it, but I've been considering boogering it up with a rising rate fuel pressure regulator for the time being because I'm only looking for 5-7 psi, but it's a MAF based system and it should help the ECU to add fuel as positive pressure is applied. I realize that it's an OBD2B car, and a reflash is about my only option outside of a full standalone (and that's not an option, this car was $400 and I had all of the parts sitting on the shelf short of the piping kit). My question is, what would you do if you were in my shoes with a very limited budget? Please don't tell me not to turbo it...because it's going to happen one way or another...lmao
