Building no frills 7-second Holdens | fullBOOST

Jason Kenny of LS Power Performance talks to us about his current two VN Commodore and Calais Holdens. Both cars run turbocharged GM LS V8 engine combinations still using many factory parts including simple EFI and boost control, yet are still providing great results.

Factory parts, including boost control? Now that's a spicy BT1 that I can dig! Lol Imagine if that was a thing...

[@1tr1ck]

What are ya plans. " well where gana put this motor into 18 other cars in the next 3 days , then put it back into this car " 🤣🤣🤣

[@clarissafarmer3547]

Well played 🤣

I love this channel coming frm from the UK and mainly being into a different type of car, I am very much loving the way u fellas do things down there. Specially the Barras. Keep up the good work ladz ✌❤ from a Sunny UK.

Love the different colour bars. Kind of a throw back to the early base models.

Just missing the ship wheel Holden used as a steering wheel

[@honestpat7789]

Good cameo from Scotty getting smoked in the Mazda 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

You mean our stock bottom end Barra got beat by a worked LS on it first time out. I'm shocked, haha

[@honestpat7789]

@@STREETMACHINETV it must weigh 500kg less than the VN 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@honestpat7789 the Mazda weighed 1160kg without driver at that meeting. Jason's VN is probably 1400-1450kg. So 300kg difference... maybe

[@honestpat7789]

@@STREETMACHINETV I think this just means that lexcen must do at least 7s to confirm it’s not the drivers fault 😉

[@danielbrealey2924]

@@STREETMACHINETV Well, you could have had that too if you didn't waste all that time re- engineering it for another driveline! Didn't Jason say his other car (quicker) has a stinking alloy block and all? Geez, Sloppy Mechanics was building 1000rwhp SBE iron block 6L's with pretty minimal effort... Instead, we got a fourth SM project vehicle with a Ford 6 pot! Exciting!!! 😂😋😉

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Great vid, he makes it seem Easy

[@Circlotron]

VN is relatively light compared to later models, and fairly good aerodynamics - low drag. Good platform.

[@aidenlepore]

I learnt a lot working with Jase! I regret to this day selling TUFCAB the VL turbo I bought off him years ago 🥺

[@mrnicktoyou]

My first car was a VN Berlina back over 20 years ago. Seeing that interior brings back many memories. Not necessarily good ones, lol.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

heheh

[@FRENZY355]

Congrats on 25 years! I remember when you posted back in the day that you were thinking of selling your 'boost' domain name and would need to change your name. Pretty sure it was the old performance forums?? time flies

[@fullboost]

We had our own forums for many years. 👍

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Love Jason's VN, was great to be pitted next to him at Summernats Slam and also have a couple runs together with the little Mazda.

[@danielbrealey2924]

See what you could have had if you stuck with the LS, Scotty! 😉😂 That was a "soft pass" in a heavier car with smaller rear tyres and it still beat your Barra, mate... Chalk that up to "live and learn" I suppose... 👀😋

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Whoa, just watched on the 65in TV. Watch how much the Mazda bounces in the other lane. The anti-roll bar has that sorted now.

[@danielbrealey2924]

Cough, cough- excuses Scotty. I'm hearing a lot of excuses! 😂 Aren't we heard to talk about Jason's Commodores though? Let him have his shine bro, he deserves it 🙃

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Haha chopped Scotty first pass bloody Barra's !!!!#LstheWorld!!!!!🤣👍🍻

[@danielbrealey2924]

The biggest mistake they made with that car was ditching the turbo LS deal (I know their 5.3 junk yard motor had issues or they blew it up- I would have just used a cheap LS1 or LS2 from the wreckers until they could piece together another LS) and put the Barra in it. Nothing against Barras, the turbo LS motors suited it better packaging wise and they already had invested in going down that path- why re- engineer it because of a simple blow up... Someone should have shown Scotty the LSX B15 and how cheap they are in the States if you look in the right places. He would have got a 2 year, 50K warranty for the thing running @15psi!!! (That's good for mid to high 900's with a blower or around 1050 - 1100hp with a 🐌) Even if you race it! Most warranties don't cover you as soon as your doing anything other than street driving, not the B15! Chevy believes in their product and they have been used in a bunch of U.S builds. Never took off here cause the Aussie retailers are too greedy and ask drug money for the long motor over here. Last time I checked (couple of years ears back now), they were $7500 in the States. At the same time it was almost $20000 here, or over depending on the retailer...

[@danielbrealey2924]

Last time I priced one out of the States would have been around 2018- they were $7500 through Chevy themselves or Summit Racing. That same B15 here in 2018 was around $18500!!! I know there's exchange rates and shipping, but you could still save A LOT by buying from Summit or JEGS or someone like them...

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@danielbrealey2924 You're not wrong with Summit Daniel. 👍 The savings from them (including shipping!) compared to going local here allowed me to get a whole set of King XP Bearings ON TOP of the ARP studs I ordered for the 1JZ with the money saved. 😎

[@ozzylambo8793]

Barra = lag machine cheap power. For people who can’t aFORD a LS.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@danielbrealey2924 you answered your own question. The Barra was cheaper and it's also quicker in the MX5
