Monaro LS2 VXR Number 2

[arh1a]

Just though I would share my second Monaro LS2 VXR which I traded in my old one for in March. I know the rules so I've attach some photos. I had spend a lot of time and money on my last one which I wanted to supercharge but when one came up that was already supercharged with 29k on the clock it was cheaper for me to buy that than fit a clutch and supercharger to mine plus the low mileage was a bonus. Its the second time I have bought a car from Elite and I can highly recommend James which I would happily buy from again.

Not really planning to do anything to it other than OCD stuff and keeping it in tip top condition. I guess if I was going to do anything over the next couple years it would be MF Drive Shafts, Uprated Fuel Pump, LS9 Cam, and a TVS2300 (guess I would be able to get 2k for the 112 to offset cost of TVS) to get it to the power I would like and hopefully keep it reasonably usable without tubbing and wider rear tyres.

Very nice

Thanks for everyone's kind comments about the car

Fitted the S/C intercooler reservoir and seems to pull better now (although that's probably placebo effect). Needless to say its nice to know there is no air in the charge cooler now as the old system always needed topping up.

Nice Mod Adam

Nice car .
what psi is the sc at?

CAI Cam and 9psi would make a big difference imho

Very nice car. Don't forget to add your details to the build register thread

Well I know I didn’t plan to do much apart from OCD stuff but after running the car on the dyno it was only running 5PSI and 378RWHP so I decided to take it to Monkfish for them to do their magic. Final result was 487.5RWHP and 610FWHP which I’m told is good for a 112 @ 8PSI and a small LS9 CAM so happy days



Only things I plan to do now is uprate the Drive Shafts, Pedders Shocks, Omega Door Handles (once I find someone who I trust to match the Silver paint!) and possibly a Interchiller to increase the safety margin. Oh and of course finish my long list of OCD bits!
