Bought new Feb 2011, didn’t realise what it was really, but glad it is a Series II SS-V Sportwagon. It came with decent alloys and trim, all mod cons, Flex fuel and AFM. In chronological order:

Pre-delivery

• 2.5” mild steel catback

Stage One

• OTR and full custom dyno tune
• 1 3/4” 4-2-1 headers mid throw
• AutoCal remote tune

Stage Two

• Gutted intake and installed radius bars
• Air Dam
• Ported throttle body
• Ported cats in/out
• Helmholtz pipes
• Modified secondaries (downpipe) dimensions + HFCs
• X-pipe and location trials
• Diff gears 3.45 HSV
• Full custom dyno tune

 Stage Three

•  Modified AFM camshaft geometry using high ratio rockers
• Revised valvetrain – springs, retainers, pushrods
• 1 3/4” 4-2-1 headers long throw
• Power Wedge trials
• TR6 spark plugs
• Pneumatic bi-modals
• Diff gears 3.27 Torsen
• Full custom dyno tune

 Stage Four

• Custom AFM camshaft
• Camshaft phaser (continuously variable valve timing) retrofit
• Heads tidied (Racing Ute Series control heads) incl. stainless hollow valves
• Revised internals for e85:
• Teardown, crack tested, honed, decked, machined and overhauled to race blueprint
• Forged dome front-side-relief pistons, H-beam rods
• Smallest chamber, high squish; largest bore, ideal rod ratio
• Racing spark plugs indexed to clear
• Torsional viscous damper
• Oil accumulator
• Run-in on dyno
• Diff gears 2.92 WaveTrac

Yeah all good. Now it’s just lacking photos. Sounds impressive.

So when will the build be complete? Any engine dyno runs yet mate?

I’m having real trouble finding the right spec’d camshaft that can retain AFM and Street-ability for my FI application…. It’s looking like it will be a shit load easier and cheaper to just have the AFM/DOD removed and a very mild cam, or retain stock cam and have some internals tweaked.

I’m starting to think my ‘goal’ of having 450+RWKW and sub 9L/100km fuel economy (highway only) is a tad far fetched considering Mercedes (sorry Dirk) new atmo 4.0L V8 TT hardly gets there.

Single or TT turbo + mild cam. Only way

I think its thrown a belt

By definition a pessimist is one who wears both belt and suspenders, so with none to be seen I’m clearly optimistic about the build… and an incurable showoff  :-o

Pat G tune starts today

Warm idle, interim VVT tune. Bi-modals closed.
