took the words right out of my mouth ;D
i'm not a fan of turbos either, and when my mate was taking the extensivley worked stroker 383 holden motor out of his torana to replace it with a basically stock gen 3 6 litre with a big turbo i was disgusted, BUT 10 second 1/4's with HEAPS of potential for more and 610 HP at the wheels at about 1/2 it's capable boost and it's so mundane and reliable to drive you just can't argue with that

Hi all just a quick question.  I am doing up a FC panelvan and was wanting to know the tare weight of it compared to a sedan. Also if because of it being built as a trade vehicle wether there was any difference in the V8 laws to put in it. Starting to stumble around now because was going V8 track, now thinking V6 I know someone will be able to help so thanks in advance.   Steve  ??? ??? ??? :-\

was gunna ask what state he's in, yes it pays to shop around yor engineers aswell some have different views of the way things are worded, i know of one car in particular that everybody that i know that's seen it said it would be fabricated chassis but his engineer passed it as not

the engineer i was dealing with with my A40 van said what i can do is based off the weight of the sedan version of the model, except in the case where there is no sedan version, in that case i'm lucky as the sedan was heavier than the van ;D

Both peculiar swaps...

so going by that an rb30 is 2962cc so if that weight of 1060 is what they use then 2915cc is the maximum for a turbo  :'(

but by time all the strengthening kit is installed surely u could argue the 'actual weight' maybe???

Hi all

But if i wanted to get a fb/ek body, i would just sneak in with the formula for an rb30 turbo, essentially registering it as a ek with a fe body? all seems a bit hard these days. should go warm grey ans but a completely different car already engineered for speed/power.

I could still do that, get an fb subframe. whats everyone think? I reckon a lexus v8 would be the go now.
