Hi all

This is my vx ss .

It started life as a stock engine ls1 with cut springs by prev owner

and 20s and has evolved into a much faster car.

L98 6 litre conversion from a 2008 VE SS.

231-247 LSR series cam, morel tie bar lifters, yella terra rollers rockers,

machined cylinders heads, flycut pistons, LS3 manifold and injectors.
custom 4 into 1, 1-7/8″ ceramic coated pacemaker headers installed with 100 cell catalytic converters and a di filippo twin 3″ exhaust. The diff was upgraded to 3.9 gears and true trac centre.
full manual reverse pattern turbo 400 and a 5500 hi-stall converter.
A full set of light weight aluminium pro star wheels were added with front runners and drag radials on the back end.
Recently fitted  a NOS plate nitrous system ,heater purge,guage etc and fuel system upgrade with an aeromotive 340 intank 2 bosch 044s ,turbo smart reg,

Teflon braided lines and speedflow fittings.
Fe2 suspension and 90/10s up front.
Best pb was 11.00 so far before I fried the turbo 400.
Currently being built by craigs autos and will be out
to run a 10 second pass shortly and more pics to come

Been busy with this car  ive fitted

some new weld 15×8 wheels 275/50/15 drag radials and

had the guards rolled and fitted drag bags.

Ran a 10.8 126 mph so finally into the 10s!

Plenty more in the car as the nitrous bottle wasn’t even up to 900-950 psi

due to being so cold. This was with 100hp nitrous jets so with a bit of fine tuning

it will get quicker and im yet to try 150hp.

Good job getting into the 10s.

 

Think my mate Joe spoke to you last Wednesday. How do the 275/50/15 fit. I’ve got a set of 15×8 with 6.5″bs welds already.

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

Thanks mate.

They fit good just need to grind a lil off the caliper bolt.

It does sit high and im trialing drag bags atm.

So far so good its reduced the squatting and no traction issues.

Been out again recently to wsid

Tried a smaller 219/235 lsr cam and TCE reworked my converter now 4500 stall

and  went 11.4 120 mph twice.

Tried 150hp nitrous pill and got massive wheelspin and went 11.00 125 mph

2nd go went 10.9 123 mph (bottle empty) and got kicked out.

Need to use smaller fuel jets as its too rich atm but should be easy low 10s once sorted.

I’m upgrading to a comp lsr 235/251   113 lsa  and 624 lift in the chase to lower

my et N/A.

Looks like its time for a  few upgrades and rollcage and andra license though!

instead of dropping the fuel jet, you could always put a bigger NOS jet to get the AFRs right?

I could go up to a 200 shot but I don’t think the rear end would like it

Haven’t broken a cv yet but always carry spares.

Bit much for cast pistons, plan to upgrade the rods and pistons next year.

Do you run a system that progressively feeds the nos in, or is it just on at a flick of the switch?

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

Just has a digital tps/wot switch.

Hey mate. Were you thinking of going turbo? My turbo kit will be up forsale soon. Every piece of it. Even boost controller and full exhaust.

I want to go turbo eventually.

Depends what your asking price is and wether I have the funds

I doubt I could afford it atm.

Just  recently bought a new vf ssv redline,was very close

to buy an ase kit but decided to get a new car instead.
