My VS ute, was an Ecotec now 5L. Was white now black. lol

This was my first car, was ment to be a quick side project while i gathered my parts for my blown 355 VN, but this has taken priority for the rest of the year lol. Plan is to be a burnout car, i would also like to get into taking it down the strip once all done.

Some Details.. Stock Stroke 304, H304 Crane Cam, Quickfuel 650, Hypertech Flat Tops, hand ported and polished heads with the works (still unfinished), block all machined and decked with full balance, Block debbured in valley and outside around the block. Fitted out with ARP bolts. And High Volume Pump. Full MSD Ignition Setup, T400, Spooled 4.11s and ect.

Still undecided on headers. tri’s or 4 into 1s.. Also in the progress of welding up the bay and custom interior.

Post some pics for you guys..

new magnum front bar.

as well as some front coilovers

new work bench pieced together. :

Nice work, thanks for posting, keep the updates flowing

Will do mate, cheers

Im going to order catch cans fittings and lines. I’ll be running 2 -12 lines from the tops of the rocker covers, just wondering if it be worth running a line from the valley to catch can aswell?

What brand coil overs did you get? Thinking of some for mine as can fit wider fronts with the coil overs. Also noticed they make a coil type set up for live rears now

mine are just cheap “MaxSpeed” ebay ones. I’d spend the money and buy quality ones.

I have XYZ in mine (non ute though) pretty happy so far, no issues.

[jlssParticipant tasvr ss View build HERE Member since: May 7, 2015 Posts: 155]

Love that interior colour. Goes with the gray well.

[TrglavcnikParticipant VS SII Ute, VN BT1 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 43]

Thanks mate. Haven’t done anything on the car in a little while. Will get into it on the weekend.

Some parts arrived today. Yet to get more.. 😎

Is that part boosterless??? I think i went 2 8an pipes from the covers to can?? I was told 8 was minimum. If i did it again id probley go 10 atleast. Just to keep it breathing.

should be fine with the 12. Looks great by the way.

[TrglavcnikParticipant VS SII Ute, VN BT1 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 43]

Yeah, it’s for a booster less setup. :P

I’ll see how I go anyway. I’ll be running – 12 for sure but. I’m yet to finish my coolant crossover over mod yet.

I ran -12 for all my catch can stuff, but nothing from valley just from rocker covers, however know few guys running the valley as well.

Did you do the door trims your self? How did you do it, very neat!!

If manifold is off. Run it from the valley
