I suppose I could stand it. At least there are no push rods.

190kw isnt that much.... for all the hassle of fitting a V6 into a staz would it be worth it?

theres an old guy round here called charlie that builds mean as old toyotas and stuff, well he put an old holden/buick V6 in a sapporo but i dont think he ever finished it, cos he also tried fitting it in a levin!

now if holden decides to turbo or supercharge it.... (which they almost have to do if they wanna compete with the XR6T....)

hmmm, twin turbo's sitting on custom manifolds is the only thing it's missing. 190kw outta the box and then some. Though it might be a tight fit with the turbo's and other bits and pieces. Would boogie something fierce though. :D

They have done a twin turbo kit for the ol 3.8 V6, i'll try to find the pics.

On paper this engine looks like a real screamer but all the reviews I have read have been quite negative. In fact, all the reviews I have read so far have said that the twin cam falcon engine is better!!! Some engines really look good on paper then really do let you down when you drive them.

hey guys,

hehe yeah I have been practising dorift in my non turbo xt cause it will take me forever to get the credits to get the other cars. I remember there was a quicker way to beat the cars for more points and it wasn't cheating but i forget now.
The game is so much better now that i got the ultra cool new momo racing FF wheel.

It has the same paint as my staz too hehe.

Cheers
Ben

Why bother with a holden V6? Go to your local strip everyone has a frickin' holden v6!! I think a nice mod would be the Lexus V8 personally.

Cheers Dave.

P.S what game are you boys talking about/ posting pics about?
