JJT036 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Posted October 16, 2012 That looks sooo much fun. Love the exhaust note with the sidepipe. Very good work with making this a Track Car. :y: :y: :y: My old man had a VT S-Pac V6 Factory Manual and LSD a few years ago, and what a fun car that was. Watching these videos make me miss it more. :) I noticed your Red AE71 that's currently on Ebay. All the best with the sale of that, and the proceeds to go towards making this VT more of a beast. :yes: Josh :cool: Quote

glenpos Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 hello, iv'e now got some money, ordered a cam today, should be here in a few days, getting semi slicks in a few weeks, got one head off today, i'll get the other one off tomorrow and figure how much i need to get it shaved, and i'll get the cam out, give the head etc a clean up and put it all back together :D and match port the inlet manifold to the head.

glenpos Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Posted October 24, 2012 hello, got the valves out of one head, other head is ready to come off, then ill trake the valves out of that and take them down in the corona :D and get 20 thou off them, the bottom end looks good, not allowed to port the heads from what i can tell in the rules, but i'll clean them up with a wire brush, so hopefully if the cam turns up tomorrow i'll get the time to have it going by the end of the week, if not early next week :D Quote
glenpos Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) just took a few pics out of some outside vids, i'll chuck a few of the vids on later too i cleaned the chambers on one hehad and wire brushed the ports, i'm gonna take them sometime this week to get machined :y: little slide with no power steering haha supercharged 6 froad was shooting flames n shit at me haha Edited October 24, 2012 by glenpos Quote
JJT036 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 How are they going to know if you port the heads or not? It's not like they're gonna pull apart half your engine upon scrutineering is it? I really really like what you're doing with this. Take a basic common Commodore, and make it a race car in some sort of budget. Very good work. :y: Can't wait till you fit these engine parts and the semi-slicks, and see the results from them. :) Josh :cool: Quote

Here is all the rules i have to go by, if you have a look go down to the vt/au bit about half way down saloon car regulations 2012.pdf Quote
glenpos Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Posted October 25, 2012 hello, cleaned the the heads up and took them in to get machined, and ordered a vrs kit, found out its a vy motor, all that i can find is different on them is 1.83 inch inlet valves instead of 1.80, and in saloon cars you can have up to 1.85 so they should be the goodsand different computer but mine is a vt one anyway, and i need a special one for saloon cars anyway, i got half the valves cleaned up and polished them too they look pretty good :y: i'm picking the heads up on monday, so the cam should be here by then and i can start putting it back together :y: Quote
rian Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 What was faster around the track: this or the 4AGZE KE70? Quote
glenpos Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Posted October 25, 2012 What was faster around the track: this or the 4AGZE KE70? i got a 1.49.3 in this, in the corolla i only got a 1,56 but its clutch was slipping on gear changes, hoping to get a 1,45 or lower next round with motor work lowered at the back and semi slicks Quote
glenpos Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 hello, picked up the heads today, they came up awesome and they acid tanked them to so they are all clean, i gave 2 valves a valve grind and put the new valve stem seals on and put them in, then checked the cc's i can have down to 54cc, and mine are 54.5 or 55cc so they are perfect, i'l start getting the old cam out tomorrow, hopefully the new one will turn up too haha :D can't wait to have it all back together, next meeting is december 1st :P Quote
glenpos Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 hew, well heads are done, forgot to mention that i got some extractors from the wreckers for $55, and a near new power steering pump for $50 :P testing the cc's, this side is pretty tuned length but other isn't, still lots better that standard, and will look cool haha and power steering pump haha :D Quote
