FAST supercharged Holden V8 | fullBOOST

Rebuilt in a HSV GTS-R theme, was caught wind of Paul’s VS Commodore at the recent Holden Drag Nationals. This was a factory 6cylinder car, but it’s nice to see the Holden V8 in place. The 355 stroker still retains the iconic banana manifold, but is boosted by a Vortech V3 blower that spins up to around 14psi. For that little bit extra grunt, a 75hp nitrous wet system is fitted. This is all still governed via a Delco ECU that puts out around 600hp to the wheels. Backing it up is a built 4L60E box and full spool 31-spine Borg warner rear end. Hats off to Paul for building this car himself, its proven to be a winner .

Soo nice to see one without an LS, RB or even a Barra under the bonnet, with an original Holden V8!

[@Brandon-cc8ts]

Agreed

[@cam-yg8dk]

Nice to see a holden with a aussie motor still in it

[@stevekuruc1145]

Great to see there’s life in the iron lion! Fantastic effort - love it.

[@poppa5289]

So glad he didn't LS swap it long live the iron lion 👍

[@TheCuttz1984]

That wheel lift is nuts. Congratulations to the owner for a epic build

[@craigsawyer8368]

It might be a mock up GTS but still a great sleeper, he's done his home work that's for sure great car.

[@TorqHub]

Thats one tough plastic! 😍 Holden V8s to the front!

[@Think_about_it777]

All that with a 2 bolt mains cast iron Aussie block. What an awesome build!. Loved watching the video, keep up the good work boys👍

[@twocarguys7798]

This Man is a God!! Everything as a mechanic we were taught about a EFI Holden V8's that wouldn't work just proven wrong. Banana manifold, small throttle body, no intercooler. Your a Legend in my eyes, great work, very inspiring.

[@gnwtiling]

Fuck yeah Aussie iron lifting a front wheel, makes me feel proud to be an Aussie . I'm off to the servo to grab a pie and down some more vb's onya

[@castekracing]

Very nice build! Just done a 355 for my car. Over seeing ls in everything. Interesting he’s just launching it from idle, no stalling up at all

[@change_your_oil_regularly4287]

Lots of great engines out there but nothing sounds quite as good as an angry iron lion 👍

[@alexgrissell9432]

That's awesome to see... Long live the old Holden V8s

[@joshuawatson9486]

That'll crack a 8.90s in right conditions.

[@david5ltr228]

As always some awesome footage!! Got to love the Aussie V8. Just noticed Video length 3.08 👍

[@designeddifference6907]

Nice little Easter Egg with the 3:08 Video duration... would’ve been a shame to go 3:04... love the old school 👊

[@aussi3212]

For what looks like a solid basic 355 combo and blower this thing is sorted and super fast 150mph trap speed says that this think makes a genuine 600rwhp, which through the 5k stall and 4l60e is mega power

[@madrx2]

That's pretty badass! Looking under the bonnet I'd be thinking "yeh probably does 11's or 12's"

[@TorqHub]

Love the telemetry on the passes. Which device is used to grab that?

[@kljperformance7372]

^ x2 please!

[@shannonedwards9103]

Yeah that was cool as. Need more of it in the vids imo

[@Procharged32]

Super clean fast car well done to the owner.

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

Ive had a couple of iron lions. They sound fantastic. I wish they were as fast as this one.

[@ebay4dave]

6600 RPM on a Holden intake (Banana manifold), impressive stuff.

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

That's pretty impressive considering its still running the bunch of banana's intake, hat's off to oldmate!

[@3800S1]

Those old bananas are actually really good. I found them to make a much better torque curve than some of the aftermarket manifolds, the engineers knew what they were doing. Their only letdown is the elbow and throttle size. But you can get ones from Star that increase the size.

[@toneabet6252]

That's a cool overlay on the video

[@denisjovanovic7781]

It's the perfect all rounder. Looks & speed

[@boostingsa751]

Great video love the Aussie powerhouse. Good times.

Great to see a 355 that hammers.

[@madmick3794]

Boy that thing hooks up well and does appear it has had to be heavily modified at first glance. Great job by the builder.

[@larndelaney7848]

Hey man thanks for reminding Australia what a v8 is supposed to sound like.So good to hear that throaty cranky sound.The Ls guys try,but the best they can do is produce a noise like an old Toyota camry with a 2.5" red back "sports exhaust" on it,while they pretend there doing something different.Good to see.This thing hauls serious balls.

[@dyIanVII]

​@John Winzil You'd think since you realize old mate's trying to gatekeep you'd not also do it yourself, apparently not lol. Anything can sound good, it's the same thing as bozos that act like drag racing is boring and x alternative is infinitely superior.

[@TorqHub]

While you maybe went a bit overboard, I can agree with your premise that nothing sounds quite like a high powered Holden V8 😍

[@larndelaney7848]

@@TorqHub hahahaha! Awesome reply!!! Mad 👍

[@larndelaney7848]

@@dyIanVII Gate keep? You nobs with your silly little American expressions.Ls's sound shit compared to...all im saying.Dont cry mate,it just a car engine.

You'd be forgiven that it wasn't supercharged. Until it tears you a new one ant the drags. The Iron Lion lives on!

[@adami2140]

Underated setup these days with the vortech

I saw the thumbnail and was terrified someone may have actually ruined a genuine GTSR, glad to see its just a mockup, a bloody awesome one at that!

sounds soo much better than an ls

Limmi bash at 1:10 tuff!!!

[@brianross4057]

I wonder what ever happened to the Holden v8 casting patterns? They will be gold in the future, If DART could get a hold of them I think even the Americans would buy them just for something different.

[@brianross4057]

@@paullee8772 There's a few Larry Perkins engines floating around that he personally modified in the Holden casting foundry and those who have them wouldn't know what they have got. I think he mainly put more meat where it was needed for more strength.

[@brianross4057]
