View Full Version : GAS747 Calais Turbo - 9.52 @ 147.78mph

No doubt you've seen it. Everyone knows it.
This is Paul's VL Calais Turbo. It's one of those VL's that inspires others to build something fast and classy. This one has a little something special though, being able to run the car on LPG means Paul can get the most out of a high octane fuel whilst keeping the cash in his pocket and not donating it to the service station. Gas has a high octane rating and it's half the price of petrol.

Let's get to it. This Calais runs the obligatory RB30ET engine but has a nice shiney new addition. Hidden down below that famous spaghetti manifold was a low mount GT35 but now sitting high and mighty is the polished Garett T51R. It smiles at you with a glistening shine.
It's currently pumping 26 pounds of boost down through the Garett intercooler, through the custom plenum and finally towards the forged pistons where it's mixed with LPG and torched by the teamwork of the Haltech IG5 ignition and the Crane coil to create a stomping 354rwkw.

Helping convert the new-found power rearward is another new addition by the way of a 2-speed Powerglide auto and 3200rpm stall. This has replaced the trusty old 3 speed in the hunt for power and reliability. Having the same top gear ratio there's no lack in driveability between the two units.

The twisting motion is propelled down the tailshaft and into the faithful VL turbo diff which has proven that it's up to a beating with countless transbrake launches on slicks at the track.
GAS747 has had a range of wheels along the way and it's no wonder when there are so many choices available for when you get sick of looking at your car the way it is. At the moment it's sitting on polished Calais 15's but I'm sure a new set of wheels won't be too far away. Behind the dishes sit a VT brake upgrade for extra stopping power - A good thing to have with this much power under your right foot.

As with much of this car the interior is also an area of change. Originally with an immaculate VL Calais interior this was upgraded a few years ago to a HSV Coulson interior which pulled the luxury of the Calais from the 1980's into the late '90s. As the car has become more powerful the constant chase for quicker times inevitably leads to having a lighter car so the Coulson's have been shifted for a more race inspired ****pit.
The rear set was removed all together to fit the roll cage and upfront a set of Velo Milano leather race buckets sit. Strapping Paul and his co-pilot hard into the cow skin are some nice big race harnesses. This interior screams 'RACE CAR'.

Paul is yet to race the car with the new turbo, convertor, auto and interior but there's no doubt that the infamous GAS747 is going to go faster.

thanks for all the positive comments guys, i know the car has been a lil "weathered" over the years but thats to be expected. of course its not street driven as much as previous but I still get it out as much as possible.
I still need to redo the bottom end, the original 10 year old bottom end is still in the car! Once i do the bottom end ill paint the bay and fix a few bad area's on the car lol
:)
Excellent right up, awesome car, and nice rack ;)
the car is a definate pioneer in the vl turbo scene and has inspired many, including myself
great work paul now hurry up and get it out there and run that 9 :p
great work paul now hurry up and get it out there and run that 9 :p

Great write up PROGMH n Paul well done on a mint calais. I still remember my mate taking me to the warrigal rd pizza shop 1 friday nite ages ago after u had been at calder n he was going to get u to take me for a spin as id never been in a fast VL before and i needed that extra push to go n buy/build one myself. u had just got off the freeway n u stopped at a set of lights a few hundred meters away from the pizza shop where we were n we could here u spooling up the turbo the we heard u launch it and then we heard this all mights BANG!!!!!!!! we ran down there to find you on the phone to a tow truck as on the launch ur tail shaft had slit in half!! I was shattered as i was seconds way from going for a spin with u. From that night on i said to my mate i was going to build a fast VL that looked the part! and im pretty shore ive done just that. Just a trans holding me bak from that 10 sec pass now. Cant wait for that 2 speed. haha!

lol the cars heavy man, has a 6 point mild steel cage in it. it weighs heaps! the front seats would help getting it back to a decent weight though.
im happy with the door trims but thx for the offer :P haha
Should weigh it Paul, interested on the weights of vl's caged and uncaged, mine came in at 1376kg with driver and fuel.
Front left 360kg
Front right 417kg
Rear left 304kg
Rear right 295kg
ill do it for sure! where do i go :D
I got a guy to do it, corner weights cost me bout $100, but for just a total weight try Highett metal, I think around $35? Or any public weigh bridge

seen this thing in the flesh a few times tuff car and a good example!!
paul f'n tuff vl!! it made me get bak in the vl game after playing with r31's so well done :)
thanks for all the comments guys, i was unsure how people were going to react to it with this trim, seeming the last one was totally different. but to be honest im way over the big wheels, big trim. im happy with the race spec look!
I just got myself a set of convo pro's going to fit them up without tubbing it. rears are 8.5 3/38. once there fitted (which will take a while) ill get some pics up!
One of my favorite VL'S ever , love it Gas
Very nice, love the interior, looks the same as my 31, except i kept the back
seat
cheers
darren
hey mate, i wouldnt mind seeing a pic of ur trim! link me to a pick or emaIl it over
gas747@gmail.com
See if i have some shots of the interior, might not.And i can't put it back in atm as the back seat has to go back to the motor trimmers to fit round the mini tubs and all the **** is out to cage it anyway . I have convos aswell..lol
nice work anyway i love it, just needs more boost ,rofl...
cheers
darren
The only thing crazier than this car is the driver ;)

Great car, always an inspiration. Photos and write up are good too I'm enjoying this.

Should look good with a set of Et's. What size tyre are you hoping to fit?
Thinking of ditching the standard shocks and springs for a set of coilovers?

hey dude, nah just gonna go the same slick size just 26 X 10 but on a 8.5" rim this time instead of 7". So on the street should fit a 275 on it. im not doing it for the tyre, im doing it cos i want convo;s on the car lolol
Ill try keep the stock shocks etc, but if i have complications i might need to replace. ill keep ya posted!
If your aiming to fit a 275/60/15 et's on the street you will have complications.
Before mine got out of hand it started out the same idea, basically you'll need to remove your standard stocks and springs, modify the standard tubs slightly (cut and shut no sledge hammer sh-it),setup new tubular lower arms, setup a good brand coilover and everything should work very well.
If you allow a 275/60/15 to fit then you shouldn't have any drama using a 28/10.5 slick for racing.
Here are to pictures of how yours should look after your transformation. (thats as low as the car goes with 275s)

lol @ out of hand, i know what you mean I can see that happening.
Im just going to take the car to allrace with the rims fitting with 26 X 10" slick and get them to fit it. what ever i can fit on for that street past that i will do.
But thanks for the info man, ur car looks good on the convos!
Great write up PROGMH and Paul well done on a mint calais
Just tub it u poof:D
thats what i said! softest **** ever seriously
LOL gas i have a set of 275/60 et's on my car, they fitted perfect on besim's car lol
yeh but im trying to get away without modifying my wheel tub + putting the 8.5" convo on it.
will see how it goes :)
Aren't the 275/60/15's the same size as a 28x9?, so they would fit on a 7 inch rim, but not on a 8.5, same problem i am having with mine, then you have to tub, so you might as well put on a 28x10.5 on a 10 inch rim..lol
cheers
darren
well apparently u can fit it without modifying the tub. let me see how it goes, not gonna know for a while cos ill get the convertor done first (need to change it, its way too loose doesnt lock up)
ill keep ya's posted. but others have done it without tubbing
looks good, came together nice
wots the specs on the turbo? looks massive!
ROFL sorry couldn't resist Pauly, I did get permission before I posted.
hahahaha :) at least u got permission thats ok then!
Yeh i would have thought they would fit with just some tubular lower arms,
but yeh i ain't a vl big tyre expert
cheers
darren
well the cars iv seen it done on are VK's so lets hope there isnt much difference lol
I have 275's on the back of mine, very close fit, I need to adjust the bracket for the rear seat belt really, but thats about all.

yeh im not gona touch it for a while waiting for something else b4 i do the wheels now....
just gonna get my convertor done in the meantime see if it actually makes power hahahaha.
took it out with new convertor feels ok but compressor surged all track went 10.69 @ 126 pretty crappy but oh well **** happens - Ill keep you guys posted
Such an awesome car in my top 3 favourite VLT's :D ..So wats will you be doing paul,, changing the exhuast wheel an housing an see if thats helps stop the surging problem or is there another way of fixing the surge problem
Yeh just trying a few things out, currently its got a .84 housing on it, im going to try a 1.00 and see what that does.
its def lost a bit since iv put the glide in cos in 2008 the car went 10.58 and lifted the head the car has more power now and still went slower but at least its stronger i guess :)
Im not in a massive rush my new house is more important but ill just do stuff when iv got time. Pretty impressive considering that bottom end is 10 years old never been refreshed lol stock rods too!
it shouldnt go slower with the glide though, sounds like converter and gears need tweaking to me
yeh the convertor's already been out once, might have to come out again.
Its hard to judge cos i havnt raced it back to back with the old auto compaired to the glide. anyway time will tell, no rush just when ever its done ill slap it on the dyno and see wot it makes.
It only did a 1.59 60 footer too the best its done is 1.49 so its a fair bit off on the 60 footer
yeah with the glide you need to get stall and gears spot on
will be goo to see how it goes once its sorted out
what gearset is in the glide? what first gear?

Aahh yeah i see that is a pretty small rear wheel for a t51r isnt it? Did you try the .84 so it would be a little more streetable. Hahaha yes yes im in a similar situation aswell with a 3 yrd old an another on the way, except im trying to hurry up an get it done my ****ter has been off the road for 3 yrs now:( ,, make sure u let us know when you take it back out i havent seen it run for like 2 yrs:p
what you mean v8 gearset? 1.76, 1.82, 1.90, 1.94, 2.08, 2.18 ?
Mine has the 1.76 1st and 3.45's if that's anything to compare yours to Paul.

.84 is very streetable, comes up on boost really fast/hard! but when we pushed it to 25psi it started compressor surging on wide open throttle. ill see wot the 1.00 does, hopefully the surge goes away!
Yeh I take it out from time to time but stay well away from any hot spots, ur just asking for trouble then! so normally i just cruise with mates to somewhere away from the highway...

Should have put a Gt4294 or similiar 70mm turbo(precision) on it. The 76mm is
overkill unless you run at least 35psi. and probally slower for the application you want it for. Not the first
time i have heard them surge around that boost level either, worse with small cam and a motor built for more low down (6500 peak ) and not revs.(8 ish)
Hope you sort it
cheers

Haha yeah i bet it comes on hard would smash tyres for sure man,, 1.00 rear should do it the thing will proberly grow wings an take off then :p ,, lol yeah the cops are bloody hot these days man bit of a joke really, probably the reason none of my mates are into cars i gotta cruise by myself :o lol

when its got a good bottom end, if it doesnt see 35psi i wont be happy lol
I rev it to 7k atm obviuosly will be a lot more on a new motor and the car has a wade 818 cam, so few changes need to be made its far from finished...
nah ill take new pics when the convo's go on the rear :)
new addition to my family :D

very nice pauly, pm me what u ended up getting it for,
They double adjustable shocks? & what ratio centre you going to use?
Yup Strange double adj shocks... Prob start with 3.5's and go from there!
It's all getting serious now, built motor will be next!
cheers

The rear ends very OVERKILL for what ill get out of the car, in the end i want it as reliable as possible so trying to do things properly as they come up, with the diff mines fine but with the new motor/power i can see the potential to start causing issues so I mite as well not apply band-aid fixes and fix it before its broke :P
Plus it looks *** tuff with a big dish on the ass :D
To right, are you using the same convos, or going bigger now
i'm guessing? tubbing to rail?
You car just gets better and better
cheers
darren
your a girl gas :P my rims are the same size as urs im using stock guards ! car will look sick just needs a proper bottom end and heaps more boost
I brought besim's 10" convo's with the 28 X 10.5 tyre already on it, so just gonna make it fit :)
iv still got a set of 8.5' convo's too mite use them for the street or buy new 10" ones and sell mine not sure yet so much going on its fkd! lol
Ill put some pics up of the turbo all nice n chromed when its back soon hpefully!
i might need to borrow those 15x10 convos for a photoshoot gas!
no probs bro, just let me know. dont forget they have 28 X 10.5 already on them!
THanks man!
works out good for me, we worked out i can take like a 28x11.5
i have access to some front convos, but the rears are only 8.5s!
So where abouts is your gas tank mounted? Haven't seen any pics? Seeming as Tubs will lessen the room for the normal place of fitment. Also can't see it being there for the fact that the weld in cage would leave it unremovable if it was up against the seats? Boot pics? :) and pics of gas tank?
cage was made around gastank so it is removable. as for tubs and tank i think gas can answer that
yeh the bars for the cage come up inside the car and gas has no back seat
this car has come a long way and still going, good work m8,
this car is what got me into vl's lol,, i rmember it when it used to have the vy gts rims with the series 2 interior, longgg time ago.
luv it :)
ill get some more pics soon guys, cars still not finished yet got heaps to do. Ill keep ya's posted :)
Pics of these 15x10's and backspacing you got as i have to buy mine
. I don't know about you, but i hate the convo center caps, when i put mine on, it looks like a wheel version of Pinocchio, want to see if i can get smaller ones or some machined up,as i have seen drag cars with small machined ones up, and they look heaps better.
cheers
darren
Nah I ove the convo's I think the center caps look a bit strange but once there on they look mint!
ill post pics soon the car isnt back yet havent seen it in a while :(
This car has inspired me to go gra on my vl. Which will now be happening alot sooner then last expected. Can't wait :)

Nah man that one is done, there is room for one with a fox tail from the fully extened arial, a half extened arial is done aswell.:cool:
lol such a tuff car hopefuly u crack those 9's but u wont, because u wont race it till u get a new bottom end u soft ****.
saying that id love a blue calais turbo but i think the mrs would kill me would have to be manual though
Lol. What about with peeling clear and no valve caps :p but seriously is there even a manual straight LPG doing quick times down the quarter?
Should crack a 9 then go a new bottom end gas ;)
Nah man that one is done, there is room for one with a fox tail from the fully extened arial, a half extened arial is done aswell.:cool:

hey gas you get any boot pics yet?
cars in pieces wont be getting boot pics for a while too much to do :( sorry!!!
All good mate. How are the tubs coming along?
looking closely at the tubs the other week all race did an excellent job! the leb needs to drive it more hes sofft
cars come up really good, just been working on a few other things, car isnt huge priority atm :)
Hey Paul quick question for you. I Dont suppose you still have your old heat shields from your old low mount set up an feel like selling them at all.
Ive got the other manifold made by Jason with the external gate added on, an was just looking through your old pics on how you managed to squeeze your cooler piping in there, An noticed you had some serious heat shielding there, To be honest i forget all about heat shielding and im half way through putting it all together :p
Sorry to hassle you on here bud but your the only other person i know of that had one of these manifolds. Cheers
i got the bonnet heat shield off him you will prob need that one as my bonnet bubbled up with one of jasons low mounts...
did you buy your manifold 2nd hand and if you did is it heat wraped..?
Ive already got the bonnet heat shield bud. Yeah i got it 2nd hand mate but looks like brand new apparently only done 250ks.
Nah its not heat wrapped either. Not high priority atm just put the new head on with external gate and turbo tonight, an the 'gate' wont fit with the standard fusebox:mad:.
So looks like a trip to 12 volt customs for a hidden fusebox
heard the car went into outer space with its new motor
New motor is tuff, now gotta get the LPG side rite and hopefully we can better a 10.3!

And Yes marco, I know U photobombed it! U shoulda flashed a brown eye or something...
Oh I thought he was...
Ha ha
So what's the power stats at now?
No idea it hasnt been on a dyno yet lol
car looks top knotch mate. gd work!
Nice work gas, 9s just around the corner
Out of curiousity when does the t51r see fullboost by and are you still using the 1.00 rear?
Not sure what RPM its hitting fullboost at, but on the transbreak one pass I launched on 28PSI and that was 6300 rpm...
Nice steup great set up impressive :)
Hey mate. What stud pattern are your rear convo pros? Or did they come blank and you got them drilled out???
brought them off besim, normal holden stud pattern...
Cheers, I'm looking into getting some but apparently they come in chev and ford stud pattern, apparently the chev stuf patterns fits, but only just.
gotta say, your car, the colour combo, the convos and the gas set up is an inspirtation, love the car :)

cheers mate, its strange. for such a long time I wanted to change the color but have grown to love it.
Hi mate,
Just joined up as I'm interested in the mods that you've done to your GRA system, I've been playing around with their system for a few years now and have had some reasonable success by making up CNC billet annular discharge venturi's to suit the S440throttle bodies to reduce the losses across the standard venturi.
Just wondering which one you run (S440, S510) and if you have ever put a vacuum gauge across the throttle to measure your pressure drop.
I have been working with some Ford guys (apologies) and they are getting about a 4psi pressure drop with the std venturi.
Congrats on the Feature in Street Commies mate!
It come up real nice, good work!!!

Hey mate noticed in street comm mag u listed u had a 100amp alt, just wondering is that off the shelf item or took urs to an auto leky and had it worked to suit?
Nah was a custom job but was done ages ago
Perfection! The bay looks great, I love that heat sheild
Absolutely stunning!! In the SC article it said this was the fastest LPG car in Aust, has the orange mustang taken that, or is that still true. None the less, a great effort and such a beautiful car.

Yeh johns mustang has the record again, its a very fast car and mine will never be as fast as it now, but mines doing ok, still needs a lot more time raced can go a bit faster I recon.
