I remember ripping my floor pan with the result of take off kickback, had two huge tears in it so ended up double strength in it

This happened to Brian’s green Mitsubishi Eclipse aswel

@@colinmiles9390 yeah we had to 6mm plate our old 10 second vh we used to race back in the day. Flat bar welded to the floor fixed it

I was more concerned about the steering wheel breaking in half, that flex on it jeezus hahaha

Seen a VN about 7 years ago with a 355 put in it. ripped almost a perfect hole under the drivers seat. He was lucky he got down the track 🤣 Crazy MF still drove it home from Calder to emerald 😂

Very cruisey in the top end

@@STREETMACHINETV Hi great work love the V6 content just wondering what trans you are running I know I could hunt through the videos and find the answer probably but later I will watch them . I had a Ecotec with a 4l60e trans I put a stage 2 shift kit (for towing) in it which gave it no shift overlap a very direct shift it would do 0-100 standing start in 100m never checked to see how quick it would do a quarter but would be a lot quicker shifts then manual shifting with a stock shifter have you checked to see what it runs leaving it in drive I reckon you could get into high to mid 11s easy without upping the boost I used a transgo shift kit $140 approx comes with different shift accumulator springs all instructions ect I done mine in 2 hours on ramps anyway great work I would love to see a video of the difference between manual shifting times and leaving it in drive.

Let's get yours out there before we go too fast :)

It's certainly one of the most basic 12sec combos I've ever built

"budget friendly"... yeah i doubt that ..

Dang that's a hell of a power increase what did that cost ya

​@@stephenrossi7354 not sure i didn't keep track of cost, here is a list of what i have done. full v8 twin 2.5" exhaust, extractors, mace 1.98 rockers, light spring upgrade, 1mm larger exhaust valves, 69mm mace throttle, wolf plug in ecu with mafless tune, supercharged v6 injectors, 255l pump, turbosmart fuel reg, i done the head porting and heavily modified intake fab work myself (re positioned fuel injector's to sit slightly higher to correctly match port the intake runners to the cylinder head). i just had to pay a local mechanic that had the tools to do the 5 angle valve job (more flow at low lift height), shave head 30 tho (more compression), and head assembly. much cheaper to do a super charged motor pulley and intercooler upgrade, but if i wanted to go to the next stage and add some boost now everything is setup to do so and the motor is breathing really well while still using the stock cam.

Thanks TT, how's your VL going?

Yep, it goes pretty good

It'd take out 'almost' every factory HSV ever built at this point.

@@chrisrosie0584 Yeah well come to think of it, my old man had a VN SV5000 when they were new and I thought that thing was fast when I was like 7. But they could barely do low 15s, on a good day. Supermang would eat its lunch.

I raced the VN Friday and the Mx5 Saturday

It hurts mine too, but hopefully we'll have that sorted soon

106.93mph

It was less than optimal to start the day, but came good later on

12.55 for the last pass

Not really ported just machined for an intercooler

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to be honest but air temps are reasonable.

Thanks dude, I reckon it's not too bad considering the low boost

@@STREETMACHINETV definitely not bad at all 😊

@@STREETMACHINETV considering what it took me to get a 12.4 et it's bloody wild congrats guys 😊

Was thinking the same thing lol

I love racing, they're all fun for different reasons. The Mazda is insanely quick, the Volvo revs to the moon and is a beast off the line, the Commodore does so much with so little and sounds great

For some reason the datalogger wasn't working in the Haltech. Not sure why

@@STREETMACHINETV that's a pity. Boost is variable on a number of factors. What it is one day doesn't mean it will be the same the next. Would have actually been interesting to see if this PB was with reduced top end boost. Would help evaluate the improvement made by the convertor (which by the way launches great).

But what ET did it do?

Intercooler pump r7ns ice water to barrel cooler which runs through a heat exchanger on its way back to the tank

@@STREETMACHINETV thanks mate appreciated 👍

3.7 gears

Not sure that's the hill I want to die on

@@STREETMACHINETV 🤣🤣 surely consider it would be a nice hill

*smaller pulley

In the new year

Someone made heads for them but they're not available any more

@@STREETMACHINETV also for the seats if they are broken, look into some period correct Recaro SR3 seats, will look spicy 👌, I'm putting some into my ef xr6

Yeah, we've been on E85 for a while

@@STREETMACHINETV Ah ok I couldn't remember

I'll have to measure it, I probably say what size it is in an earlier episode

@@STREETMACHINETV I have looked, I don’t think you do. Watching this car go makes me very keen to get mine on the road, love the vn 👍

This is the original VN trans, no computer control at all

We did a breakdown of that a few months ago

Steering wheels are designed to defrorm in a crash, have a look at one that has been through a fire. The car really need a better braced seat as a seat back failure on launch = an uncontrolled car.
