an inside look of my 1987 Holden VL berlina Turbo, boosted LS 5.3 powerhouse, and how you can take it from race to "street" and enjoy a good old aussie summer of cruising!
Cheers for sharing your passion brother. I was at GMH building them and other Aussie iconic vehicles back way back then. I grew up in your area too. HNY and look forward to 2024, stay safe. 🍻
Top Car mate and top video love how you presented it and explained about the car and even a Maccas drive thru segment, A1 bro keep it up and good luck at the Nats not that you will need it what an awesome car.
Not what typically springs to mind when you hear about a VL turbo. But, having said that, what a killa combo you've put together Blake, that's one hellova weapon dude. 💯and street driven. 10/10 mate. Best wishes for 2024. 🙏
Great work awesome vid Blake spot on brutha!! That's one tuff Vl mate true streetcar 👌 I run interstate for 13yrs doing Adelaide mate the Sturt highway from Truro to Adelaide was always pretty rough was never dual lane either.. My last trip over the would've been around 2010 so it's definitely changed heaps mate.. Spot on Blake see you at the Nats 💪
Great show, really look forward to watching what you do in 2024. Congrats on your 7 sec VL, your down to earth approach and car building skills has got me hooked on your channel. All the best at Summernats, cheers.
Amazing VL 😍 Definitely a sleeper from the outside. She went like a bat out of hell down the quarter. Happy new year, looking forward to seeing more in '24
@@Evans_Racing I have the same set up u had with the rb in it Was thinking of doing diff but now I’ll try to to do something like what u have done Love how u do it all you self,are u a fitter tuner ?
Although your car is a lot faster, my car is the same in the sense that it cruises the streets looking oem, although slightly lower and on radials, then the Welds go on for the track haha
Love the car. What alternator are you running & is it in the standard bottom right? If you had your time again would you look at a Haltech over the Holley? Is it a powerglide car? Keep up the good work cheers 👍
Hey mate, I’m running a 215amp jaylec alternator, with the addition of a larger pulley from Billet Race Craft to slow down the rpm as that’s a big killer, it works perfect now and yep factory position with the warspeed pulley tension kit, powerglide yep. And definitely like the Holley through and through very user friendly too. Thanks mate
Awesome combo Blake absolutely love it and big thumbs up for your building of the car and your achievements buddy 👍, What's your opinion on coil lead heat sleeves mate ? Yes or No
This one was done by AGI a few years ago now so they’ve changed abit since then, they range from 6-8k normally depending on the car or how much is needed of course, cheaper depending who you get to do it too
Haha you sucked me in I thought it was an RB hand grenade, and its a LS much more interesting, I'm building a 427 LS with 98mm on it going into my VE HDT G3 im a LS commodore man, 7 sec VL is impressive bro, its a street car man don't worry about clowns saying, you in SA?
Surely your comment was meant to get a bite right? Rb Hand grenade? It’s the build quality that’s the strength of any engine! Ever heard of an rb leaving the factory burning and leaking oil? Or with rings missing? Nah but it happens with gm engines lol
7sec and no cage? How does any track in Aus let it race without a cage? Not bagging the car, but I get booted for running 9s, that poor chassis is being tortured beyond its capability and we will ignore the way you say Berlina 😂😂 good to see you’ve spent all that cash and it still has squeaky doors 🤣 calling it a “street car” well yeah 😂you’ve built one dangerous car bud, remove all safety gear ?? Your the kind of guy that makes it so hard for guys to mod their cars the right way but the Police will see this video and will be on the lookout for you now and take it off the road, cheer bud, you done the car community a real dis service
😂😂 wow what can I say. did you watch it for 30 seconds before coming to the comments section to be a down right knob? 🤣 if you listened and watched the video you will see that the car does have a roll cage and is teched to run up to 8.00, and it’s a completely removable/ bolt in cage. But you already knew that right? Haha your one of them guys that the car scene doesn’t need because you clearly have no idea about anything you just wrote 🤣 the only thing being tortured here was your brain capacity, maybe go watch some cooking videos or something and make yourself a ber-leen-a? Better yet show us what you’ve built 😅 thanks for sharing your story hero
