I killed another commodore
Well I got it managed to kill my dail driver ... the VP ... :weirdo:
not after running a strong 13.6 @ 94mph and a 1.2s 60 footer on street tyres in full street trim (subs, full tank, street tyre pressures, etc) ... but then the sesond run, just as i shifted into 3rd gear i heard pinging over the sound of the exhaust and helmet, so i backed off ... still ran a 14.7 but now i got a volvo engine (5cyl). I am not even gonna botehr about stripping this engine , just gonna get a replacement one and drop it in. For those who can appreciate good performance and good times from any car, I am quite happy with ET as well ast the 165kw at the wheel and the stunning 780Nm of torque. Now let the Buick flaming begin :evillaugh Cheers Mic |
put the engine in a real car? nuff said?
|
haha ... i cant argue with the build quality of either car or engine lol
|
I'd like to see a 1.2 60' time in all honesty from a VP.
Unless it was going downhill with a 4.44 diff, I dont see... Never know though. |

i recomend you drop a VN TTB 5 litre V8 since you changing motors |
165 kw at the wheels and 780 nm of torque.I'd like to see the dyno sheet on that if it exists.

The only Buick V6 mtrs that could do 13.4 1/4 times and 0-60mph in 4.7 sec was the 1987 Buick GNX Grand national and that run a Garrett 16psi turbo is your mtr running a turbo?
A write up on the mtr plus a Y tube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G6wtnmdZhE Description 1987 Buick GNX 547 built 1987 was also noted as being the year the GN to end all GN's was introduced. A limited production run of 200 Grand Nationals, specially prepped by ASC/McClaren were to be produced, called the infamous GNX. This 200 unit figure was increased to 500, then to 547 by production end. Regals were shipped to ASC for their special mods including: Special ceramic turbined turbo, Special intercooler, Special GNX Turbo Shield, Special prom progamming, Special transmission valbe body mods, Torque arm, Panhard bar, Fender vents, Wheels flares, 16"Black mesh alloy wheels wearing 245/50VR16 Gatorback's, Special badging, Full analog instrumentation and a personalized serial number. Linking the owner to the car. To get parts you have to prove you own one. The Awesome GNX produces 275 HP and 360 ft ib of torque and was capable of mid 13 second runs in factory trim. |
if it is all true its a nice time...shame about the motor dropping a cylinder...
|
i think you'll find his car is turbocharged.......look at his sig

Quote:
wow someone is one the money ... yes the car is turbocharged :evillaugh |
chuck up some pics, always like sleepers, regardless of make.....
what are ya plans?, get another "wreckers special" stock motor, or knock one up with less comp? |
I cant really afford to spend too much $$$ on this vehicle considering that i just bought a place for my otehr half and myself and we are still stuck half way through the finance process, plus I am building a 347W Turbo for my AU so I think a stock replacement is on teh cards. Also considering selling it, once new engine is fitted and buy a cheap 4cyl as unit needs a little bit of my and my $$$ attention.
so here is a scan of my first dyno run on 8psi with 155kW and 750Nm of torque at the wheels. also added drag slip at the top of the page. BTWi I have been drag racing for nearly 8 years now, so i got a little bit experience in launching cars :dance: https://www.fordforums.com.au/attach...chmentid=46503 |
Edit: Piston No4 is confirmed to have a hohle ...
|
Even Brett Steven's experience wouldnt get that car into a 1.2-60'..
I used to launch my old 550hp falcon at 6500rpm on slicks for a 1.6 and it ran a hell of alot faster,it even broke the factory seat with that launch,a 1.2 would of pulled the dash out of its mounts...Sorry but Im calling this one a bit optimistic.. Quote:

What is it with some people???
People ask for photgraphic evidence of stuff and then when someone posts photos of this there are still doubters. Always gotta be some /\ssh0le in every crowd |
Quote:
I see a dyno slip,with no where near enough power on it to run that time,as a previous poster has added,low 9 second and better cars do 1.2 second sixty's,13 second cars can not,never have and never will simple as that..might need some reading glasses there champ,or some better comprehension skills at the very least :weirdo: |
people also forget that the first gear on vn-vs are huge and take off like all buggery.

Ratio 1 3.06:1 Ratio 2 1.63:1 Ratio 3 1.00:1 Ratio 4 0.70:1 Final Drive Ratio: 3.45:1 Diff: LSD GF's cousins VN V6 Supercharged runs 14.1 at 91mph with 1.5 60 footers same gearbox and same diff ;) as a comparison these are AU Transmission specs: Transmission type 4 auto Ratio 1 2.39:1 Ratio 2 1.45:1 Ratio 3 1.00:1 Ratio 4 0.68:1 Final drive ratio 3.08:1 hehe damn i love stiring ... keep it up guys |

So they must look like this XW doing high 1.4's 60 ft ? :yelrotflm https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...tlr/WSIDXW.jpg |
Sif any of those ratio's listed will beat a race car with a 4.88 rear and a 2.87-1st,,
get real,,and get a clue... Do we have a pic of this thing with such a wicked launch? If IIRC,the XW pictured above was doing 1.4-1.5 sixty's at the time of that picture.... |

your not stirring your making a stooge of yourself, a 1.2 60' on street tyres come on dude wake up to yourself,
1 thing i can guarantee you is townsville drag way's timing equipment is dodgy at best, how many of these 1.2 60's did you run?? post up some more slips with these 1.2 60's on them anyone that has raced at Townsville knows not to take any of there "one" off time cards as being right.. i mean last time i was there i run 1 pass at 10.3 @ 165mph i quickly went to the tower and they granted me another qualifying pass and i tossed that card in the bin, it happens all the time down there sorry to burst your bubble |
Quote:
Do you know how quick a 1.2 60' is??? cars running into the 9's don't do 1.2 60's, 7 and 8 sec prostreet cars may be able to crack into those sort of times, but a v6 commo on street tyres on the townsville dragstrip :yelrotflm when you have been to that track you will understand |
