CommodoresPlus

Plus is the ideal candidate for an LSA kit. I’ve modded the L77 to same L99 spec but upped the CR to 14. Same output as an LSA (GTS) but loads more efficient (fuel, heat).

Only problem is the cost of engineering to get reliable and durable 15 Bar (turbo / SC BMEP) naturally aspirated and VVT is prohibitive. Whereas L99 comes with VVT, relieved…[Read more]

Using 50 litres of 80% ethanol I clocked 461km from Coffs Harbour out to Yamba, up through Byron, in through Mullum out to Kingscliff and up to Worongary (GC hinterland).

Average consumption was 10.8l/100k which at $1.11 works out to 12¢ a kilometre measured at the pump actual fuel used and trip meter

That’s with two adults and luggage plus…[Read more]

VFII gets L99!

Of course someone gave you a good reason as to why to coat all the headers.  However in the ideal case you would not coat the inside of your turbo 2″ longer-than-normal setup. Outside definitely, as the main purpose is to increase the velocity by keeping EGT as high as possible through to end of primaries.

Yes I’ve been looking at that. If the need arises or I have some spare money I’ll upgrade to -8.

The pump at the top of the picture is the lift pump (gravity fed) from the stock Gemini fuel tank to surge tank. The pump at the bottom of the picture is the feed pump, to check valve, to line pressure gauge, to filter, to hardline. Braided hose far left is the return line to surge tank. Braided line from very top of surge tank goes back to the…[Read more]

Progress:

With help from a friend the motor is in the engine bay, just not fully attached. Engine mounts are giving us grief but will be sorted soon. Custom sump was re-modified to suit L67, some meat taken off the engine block and bell housing.
