Calais Turbo

grunter01 · 29-07-12, 19:32

Hey Guys,

As you know i made a thread of my old car i was building but once i found this i couldn't resist and wanted it. So as you guys can see i sold my White calais turbo for this. Pretty good actually the car has a lot more on it then the car was advertised with so i am happy with that. It drives so day but is a lag monster with the Gt42r on it but once on song it hums along good but the car was advertised with 600rwhp but me personally i don't think it has that much atm i think it was just a happy dyno i think. The body of the car needs a lot of TLC especially the holds on the car. The interior is in great nick just needs a tidy up and some bits and pieces, I will get a list of things i need for the car and if people have anything that can help or want to sell it would be greatly appreciated. So anyways as for the the drive line i have a lot of parts i am going to fit, and then screw the boost up in her. I will keep you guys posted with everything i do and once the car is tuned.

Wow, that's different. That intercooler is massive! What are the engine and drive line specs / details?

VKiller · 29-07-12, 21:35

Looking good. Bring it on!

CHRGD6 · 30-07-12, 09:43

Love the bay, dude!

vl4skids · 30-07-12, 11:23

Good stuff mate, I remember reading the build thread on it years ago! Looks like a good thing

grunter01 · 30-07-12, 12:10

cheers guys, im looking forward to getting to the dyno and then the track once i fix up some things on the car.

Coop450 · 30-07-12, 19:31

Looks like a real nugget. Needs a gun rack and a roo bar in my opinion.

does anyone know any good cheap spray painters in the western sydney area? want to get some prices..

grunter01 · 01-08-12, 17:03

thinking of getting these cams atm for it as i am not sure if the cams have been changed or not, these should help it get up and boogy...

ADVERTISED - IN - 300˚
OUT - 300˚

@.050 IN - 264˚ 11.4mm LIFT
@.050 EX - 264˚ 11.4mm LIFT

LSA - 112.5˚

robp30l · 01-08-12, 18:12

I'm pretty sure it had hks 272 cams 11mm lift, hks heavy duty valve spring in it. Going from what the original owner that built the car claims.

grunter01 · 01-08-12, 22:35

after taking off the cam covers tonight the cams are HKS cams, i will leave them in then.
Will be changing the complete fuel setup so my 1800hp and ID2000's setup and selling the twin x 044 setup and 1600cc that is in it now. So if there is anyone interested let me know

well to be honest i have never dealt with them before, but will call them tomorrow. I am not trying to spend the world i just want to tidy it up, and make it run some good numbers. Trying to get the fuel gear done in the next 2 weeks and get it off to get tuned. Going to be putting 30psi and E85 in it then see how she goes.

TUXEDO · 02-08-12, 21:44

30+* psi lol

grunter01 · 02-08-12, 21:46

hell yeah why not, she will be right... i will find out anyways

DA HOON · 03-08-12, 17:19

a good friend of mine owned this, he put the auto in it and cleaned the bay up. goes alright

was abit of a sleeper. good buy!

grunter01 · 03-08-12, 19:24

yeah its not to bad still not a 408ci turbo like i want, needs a big tidy up though.... Also needs a decent tune in it.

Coop450 · 03-08-12, 19:41

What kind of power you expecting with 30 psi and E85? About 300Hp I would guess.
