Hello Evan

Good looking car there! What is the Walter Rohrl connection? Do you have any engine shots? It's the first I will have seen on Haltec.

How does it perform?

Regards,

GC

Hi Guy,
Thanks for welcoming me to your great forum!

The Walter Rohrl connection comes from the car, it is a Walter Rohrl edition 131 Racing (essentially a standard Racing but with a few aesthetic additions) It has the signature plates on the C pillar, but over time has lost the bonnet signature and roof spoiler.

The engine shots i have are over a year old, so i'll dust off my camera this weekend and give some more detailed up close shots. In a nutshell, the throttle bodies were provided by "injection perfection", a specialist place in Sydney. The wiring and connections is courtesy of a Holden Commodore (GM Australia for those playing at home), so the parts are readily available and easily replaceable.

Performance wise, the car is quite impressive, i think a few bhp have escaped the pen since 2000, but the previous owner states it was rated around 180hp (i'm assuming at the flywheel) when built. I can at least say that it is more than equal to a current model toyota celica (which is rated at around 190hp as far as i'm aware). The induction noise is truly something to behold, it's not the most subtle car i can assure you.

I will certainly take a few upclose shots this weekend and try and put together a bit of a detailed history of it for members (and visitors) alike, in the mean time is a close up of the engine bay i took last year.

thank you,
Evan

Hi Guy ,

it is for my friend called " Stello Motoring" Dealer & importer of racing parts and accessories like "Kent cams" "Autometer" " Brisk performance plugs" "Nology wires" "Espesso gaskets" "Green Filters" ...

By the way, I will customize a Vx to DCOE plate my self ( or I'll try at least), I will post pictures of my complete engine once finished.

You didn't tell me your opinion for putting HC pistons along with the Vx supercharger and standard 8v camshafts (not Vx) - note that I use my car for roads only - to show off!
