My name is Steve and have just (or very close to) completed a VH 6 cyl transformation into a turbo (non injected) 6 cyl. It started as a late night discussion over a few beers with mates and turned into this.

Paint: Bermuda Blue, with pearl
Interior: Just been re done.. (A hard task to find decent VH interior, so some customising was done).
Motor, Blue bottom end and Black head. Just standard mods on motor such as hardened springs, modified cam, decompression shim, larger fuel pump and oil pump etc. Some other mods but i cant remember but Nothing too serious. 
Turbo: Custom built T4/3 (done like this to decrease lag) Hybrid turbo, twin bladed, full oil floating unit, water cooled, adjustable boost (valued over $2200). Still SU Carb driven (no injection here folks)... High speed oil shutdown cannister (for your high speed shutdowns)... Only boosting 6 pound and is a quick 6. I have had this up to 15 pounds and it went like a dog shot in the arse!!! Only downfall was the gearbox dropped 3rd gear after a nasty burnout. Put a stronger box in this thing and it would be scary!!!!!
Suspension: FE2 and cop springs.
Exhaust: 2 3/4" Full mandrel bent (from Turbo back). Custom built manifold..
Gear box: 5 speed Borg Warner (needs 5 speed supra or Celica for full potential power).
 
But time to move on, so i reluctantly have to let my baby go for $4750 but only to the right home..... Im gonna shed a tear when this thing go's..
