Another 4 in 1 set up I did was on a VZ with a standard engine (single valve springs only) and a plain bearing T4 Borg Warner S400SX3 with 75mm compressor wheel.

It made a solid 454rwkw showing these manifolds work very well.

I'm currently making up a new cost effective 4 in 1 manifold set up which will integrate with the factory drivers side cast iron manifold.

Stay tuned!

Apologies for not posting alot of information lately! I have been doing work still just scaling down a few things.

I have made up a few sets of 4 in 1 manifolds lately. They have performed well on the dyno and track.

Recently my good friend Paul took his WK Caprice to the track. This car runs a set of 4 in 1 pipes with a T4 based Garrett GTX4202R with a built 346 cube engine and TH400 trans.

The car is not set up for the track by any means and runs 3.73 gears. Paul drove to the track and bolted on some ET streets, no weight reduction, air filter on, running a full exhaust which is a small twin 2.5 inch system.

He managed a 10.007@137mph and 10.08 . The car is just a cruiser but will no doubt run a 9 with some more appropriate setting up.

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.

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!

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!

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 fl**ge 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!

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

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

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

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

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
