24.01.2022 The WK Caprice headed to the track yesterday and managed an [email protected]. I think that is a great time considering it was run full weight, has leather interior, dvd's everywhere and many other heavy items! It was a warm day and around 24deg when it ran this time so with a bit more sorting out it should do a low 11 as hoped!

24.01.2022 I have started tidying a few things up on the VT Berlina I recently bought. I have the Garretts here and ready to go. I made up a header tank out of aluminium which fits in the same position as the factory one but is half the size so it will clear all the turbo pipe work. I am going to be using the factory cast manifolds for this job but modifying them and adapting 50mm NB steam pipe to both of them

21.01.2022 Here is a photo of the time slip from the VX recently

20.01.2022 Yesterday Adelaide held an off street drag meeting. There were a couple of cars entered which I had tuned and it was great to see that they performed well! Anthony ran a fantastic time in his VX with a standard LS1 (valve springs only) and powerglide transmission running on E85. This was his first meeting out and it achieved a 10.54@128mph. This was stalling off the line with the foot brake only. With some more practice and launch techniques, he should improve on these already impressive times!

20.01.2022 My friend Paul took his WK Caprice to the street drags last night. This car is fully loaded with DVD players everywhere and all the heavy luxury options. It runs a standard LS1 with Crane single valve springs only and a TH400 with no trans brake. One of my single turbo kits using a Garrett GTX4202R is bolted up to this combo which runs E85. The car was driven to the track and a set of ET streets bolted up. It managed an impressive 10.77@126mph with an amazing 1.59 60 foot time. This was stalling off the handbrake. Well done to Paul!

18.01.2022 Progress is coming along well with the 4 in 1 manifolds for VT to VZ. Not alot left to do and they will be finished soon.

15.01.2022 My own VT is now up and running. It uses twin Garrett bush bearing turbos and in a different move, I used stock cast iron manifolds for this job and welded some steam pipe joiner pipes to them. It came up nice and neat and puts out good horsepower. The car is running E85 fuel and made 460rwkw on the dyno at 16psi. I like to push standard engines hard. I have backed the boost off to 12psi where it still makes over 400rwkw. The engine is currently standard apart from Crane single beehive valve springs. The transmission, stall converter and diff are also stock for now. A T400 will be getting installed shortly and I hope to achieve a low 10 or 9 second pass down the track

12.01.2022 Not a big thing here, just a description that I custom make alot of parts. Here is a simple oil drain tube. Hand made stainless flange and machined tube done on my lathe then TIG welded. Something which is never seen but it's nice to have the ability to custom make small parts!

11.01.2022 I decided to start this page as a bit of advertising. I will post up a few jobs I have done over the past years shortly! Thanks for the support everyone :)

10.01.2022 This is a recent photo of my old VX Calais which I sold a couple of years ago. This was the original car that the turbo kit was designed on years ago and the car is still going strong today with its stock LS1 (crane valve springs only) never missing a beat. Recently at AIR the car ran a 10.7@129mph on just 11.5psi boost. Due to ANDRA rules the car was not allowed to make another pass! This was in full street trim, exhaust on, filter on, nothing changed as to when its driven on the street apart from a set of slicks.

09.01.2022 Here are a few of my tuning jobs over the years. Most of these cars have my turbo set ups on them and all are tuned by myself. I like to include the air fuel ratio on my dyno sheets. Other ppl dont like to include this but I prefer for the customer to actually see it so they know the tune is correctly done. This one is my old VY SV8 which had a single turbo 403 cube iron block stroker with a T51R turbo. This was run on 98 fuel on 17psi boost and made 510.8rwkw

09.01.2022 The standard VT engine (Crane single valve springs only) with nearly 200,000kms still managed 460rwkw

04.01.2022 This set up was on a VP calais with a LS1 conversion using a single Garrett GT4294X turbo running E85. It made 417rwkw on around 12.5 to 13psi

03.01.2022 This is just a pic of a turbo manifold in progress. Welding the wastegate flange on to the manifold with some stainless TIG wire
