Still come back and re watch your videos mark!! love the VN, VR, VS.. such a good era :D

[@yanni6556]

Ive never seen such a clean workshop

[@carsontheroad7280]

What's with all the comments on his shorts? If you were busy checking out his legs, maybe it's time to have a family dinner and say "Mum, Dad, I have to tell you something about my sexual orientation". That engine with that setup sounds like heaven!

[@Mechknight73]

Two factors to consider in this case; what's the rules on RHD where you live, and emissions standards. Bear in mind that this engine isn't a Chevrolet, it's a 5 litre V8 designed and built by Holden. They weigh about 90 pounds less than a Chevy small block, but can handle just as much abuse. Can be bored out to 355 cubic inches, and the whole car tips the scales at slightly over 3000lbs. They also have optional independent rear suspension, ABS brakes. 4 wheel discs are standard on all models

[@marksworkshop5000]

Yep, rebuilt with some stronger parts and a mild shift kit, stock recon convertor.

[@MrMightyZ]

I have a vt 9c1 5.0 and this looks like just the thing for me. Grouse video. I wish there were more straight-forward clearly explained vids like this one. Super effort, that.

[@SamsungizAmazing]

I adore the sound of a supercharged 👌

[@-sandman4605]

400HP is perfect for the street and as a daily driver. 😎

[@no_bull]

Same setup with a manual gearbox would have been much more fun to drive

[@phoenix546]

wow :) love the older holdens. That charger has a nice whine to it too

[@castekracing]

Love these vids man! These old Holden 8s don't get the love they deserve. I've got a 355 in my vh that I'm banging a side mount onto at the moment and looking at some old vids to get some ideas. Great stuff

[@GhettoDynamiczInc]

That's so awesome, wish mine went that hard! Stupid P plate laws lol

[@AznS0ulja]

find it funny how your hand was on the gearknob ready to shift haha, manual is the only way to do it!

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

Mysterious Laptop not for the strip

[@AznS0ulja]

yeah but how long are you on the strip for? like 10-12 second times 3-5 lol.

[@alandawson8665]

I thought Fred Flintstone was the last one to use a manual autos shit on manuals every day how many fast drag cars use manuals even promod use autos now

[@larndelaney7848]

@@alandawson8665 nope.time and a place for every thing

[@aaronm8694]

Haha, you haven't got a grey hair! Lookin good mate :) Paplia was probably writing up speeding tickets in 2011. That M112 sounds heaps better than the 2300 Harrops of the modern era. Wish they went as hard.

[@pedrotski]

Haha, I love you guys! Huge fan. "Yeah shes got a little bit of work" *opens bonnet* "yeah just a cam and the main feature a supercharger" haha

[@ERFANMERCKX]

He is really professional I visited him when I went for skydiving in York

[@VS97VS]

Love it. I have a VS11 Clubby would love the supercharger on it.

[@Baystorm82]

I'd love to call it a bogan mobile but it's just such a clean setup!

[@bretto05208]

if you fitted a torsion bar it would handle better. Looks awesome, i want it!

[@sepsism138]

Great video! Tough car.

[@shagster1970]

Careful boys - the blue watches KZbin too. Nice work.

[@nadroj3968]

After this coronavirus bs blows over im driving sheryl (my vs 5.0 tribute car) straight to your shop. lifes to short to drive boring cars.

[@dowhatthedevilhates]

LONG LIVE THE AUSSIE 5LITRE!!!!!!

[@1974Alfa5Spd]

Wow, is it legal to take one of these to the US? Such an unassuming car, with 407HP under the hood.

[@BadDriversOz]

NICE! I would like to fit a super charger to my 5.7lt Chev powered Holden!

[@stevenJEDI3]

Sounds good

[@rcalltypes7008]

Not bad for an old standard 5lt.

[@CMskittles]

True drivers NEVER use auto

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

Not taking into account what someone can afford, Interesting stance

[@58cobraxc]

Good vid. Cheers

[@Fuaarrkk]

Man you get to test drive all these cars that have shitloads of power and yet you dont thrash em'. I say you should give them a great flogging

[@Hain90tz]

probably a clients car - just finished now go for a quick flog before we give it back!

[@myjizzureye]

1986 just phoned up, it would like its shorts back.

[@MrNBowden]

That's alot of help thanks, but unfortunately I am looking at a R34 Skyline now but if that doesn't work out I'll be in the lookout for a VX SS so either way the V6 idea is in the bin. But I have passed the information to a mate and he said he hasn't looked back. So it wasn't all for nothing. :)

[@peopleneedtosticktogethera1479]

Love the radar detector on the windscreen???

[@mark_makes_]

G'day Mark, i have a 93 VR commodore with the 5.0l in it (manual) whats a rough cost for a Supercharger conversion and a tune like this cost? It currently already has an Exhaust System and Extractors. Cheers, Brayden

[@marksworkshop5000]

email: [e-mail]

[@jamieshields9521]

Great vid👍did you make any changes to the automatic transmission?

[@matyc13]

can you tune these engines/gearbox with the computer to sharpen up the gear changes? the auto gear changes sound a little sloppy in the 0-100 scenario

[@wikedsik]

Hey mate im buying "another" v8 soon and will be looking at doing extensive mods, ur a bit of a drive from perth but i grew up in the wheatbelt im thinkin id like to support a wheatbelt garage not to mention you seem do do a fantastic job.

[@Hardscript]

@jeffy123ification it is and they are legal in western australia

[@hookemups6710]

I have a nice standard 5L VR Commodore wagon that I don't want to let go of but the motor has 400 on the clock but still no smoke as it is serviced every 5000 k. Will the engine require a complete rebuild? If so, would you recommend stroking it for your newer supercharger?

[@marksworkshop5000]

+Hookemups Depends on engine wear and power level wanted. If you are in W.A. and really looking at doing, give us a call or send an email for questions.

[@marksworkshop5000]

email for prices.

[@TheBlownv8]

Pretty impressive for the Eaton, i went with the Whipple serial #001 from Yella Terra with a 6 speed road race manual conversion using the Tremec TR 6060 Tranny and 3.73 lsd. just youtube yella terra 2.4 whipple. Kind Regards the blownv8

[@rattlesnake304]

Do you remember what power you got with that setup?

[@TheAussieFloof]

dont get me wrong i love your videos but are you even allowed to drive the car like at 4:17?

[@brentontucker4186]

Wicked!!!

[@zimmy087]

Hey mate just double checking whwn you say this is the older version charger. Do yoj mean the m90 ? Same as what cane out on the v6 holdens ?

[@markandsamafterwork]

M112

[@marksworkshop5000]

@ziggassedup Email [e-mail]

[@ziggassedup]

@samkactus ..Just did.

[@bunning63]

I agree.

[@ziggassedup]

That noise would sound great coming out of my 38 chev...It's got VN 5.0 commy stuff on board...Yella Terra say they can supply a set up with a 60% power increase...could you tell me the numbers please.?..great job by the way.

[@marksworkshop5000]

[@enzoneone6756]

Hey mate i have a vt 5ltr an just brought a Eaton m122 blower what manifold an plate are you runinng

[@zackzahorodny9363]

i got a really cool commodore

[@wrapped69]

whats on the dash

[@utubeewen]

of course

[@bunning63]

Looks like a nice conversion, what sort of 0-100k time are you putting down?

[@kc88kc]

nice shorts

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 ive decided now to go a different route because of funds so im only doing cam, exhaust and cold air so the insurance(im assuming) would be cheaper than a V8

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 if i everdo unfortunately crash the insurace company would say that because i didnt tell them i have upgraded the car with a performance modification they wont pay me out as this performace boost could be a cause of the crash

[@DAATHmaniac1]

Plus even with an auto, instead of having 123drnp etc you can put a custom setup in and have 12345 sort of like a manual but without a clutch you can click it up and way you go with a bit my guts haha but i forgot the actual terminology or what its actually called, Dom's Charger in the first fast and the furious had it i'm pretty sure. so more fun that way to without having an actual manual.

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

I know this is old as fuck but i'm writing this for anyone coming to this comment in future, What you're referring to is called a Tiptronic sequential gearbox

[@krazycommo007]

im in the same boat mate with my vs clubsport@Bean Flicker

[@willmorgan365]

Hi Mark, I would like you advise on fitting a whipple to a 120k old vr ss. Should it be ok?

[@wheeman999]

4 more horse power than my xr6 turbo. Sounds nice though.

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

Anything can be fast if you strap a big enough turbo to it

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 i would do that if i could mate, but as i would still be on my red p plates it would cost me more in the long run including the ls2 swap and later insurance.

[@marksworkshop5000]

never meassured, has done a 11.9 quarter.

[@MrNBowden]

@samkactus great car!!! just wondering... how much would it roughly cost to get 210kW from a VS V6 Commodore and it wold need to be kept naturally aspirated..

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 Well don't I have t go over the pits after modifying my car? Assuming they start the car to test something they would definately hear the different idle.

[@ThOfficalYungMerk]

Fuck yea

[@evilrobso]

simple but goes well. where are you located?

[@isaacmorris3103]

Looking to have this done in the future mark what would I be looking at all said and done? Ballpark figure so I can start saving? Looks and sounds the bloody goods. It will be going on a 5.0 vs series 3 roller cam motor?

[@marksworkshop5000]

If in WA, call or email, Cheers

[@MrNBowden]

For a V6? Sounds like a nice setup. What are your specs on the exhaust? What'd your idle like with the stock cam but reground? And thanks, helps tonnes!

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 yeah...

[@mhomho1979]

I have late 96 vs caprice with the local made 308, how much to do this to mine?

[@tttturvey]

How much torque did it have?

[@crailleakroyd9697]

What ecu?

[@marksworkshop5000]

Stock, recalibrated.

[@MrNBowden]

@marek0086 but dont you have to go over again after mods?

[@MonsterLilly]

the 3.8 is a boat anchor, throw it away, put a stock 3.6 in, only decent motor Holden have used since they stopped using the 308

[@kristianfrey5766]

MonsterLilly lmfao crappytec pos lol

[@krazycommo007]

who does this type of work in melbourne?

[@CMskittles]

Is it really a freaking auto...

[@scottd4144]

Can you recommend anyone to work on my 5l VP SS in the melbourne area?

[@freesexyew]

hey ghetto dont be silly dude go and get your boss to write you up a letter stating you need a v8 due to always towing and its just a part of the job and you might be lucky and get an examtion.all else fails fet your medium riggid truck license and then the p plate laws dont apply ...with the whole v8 and power to weight ratio

[@oscarhollywood]

is that a 1600 whipple?

[@marksworkshop5000]

No, 112 Eaton

[@scottsmad]

The non supercharged A9X torana you built made more horsepower than this,

[@marksworkshop5000]

14psi

[@Hardscript]

@myjizzureye australia is bloody hot.

[@brettis26]

was that power 303kw at the wheels????

[@promxrippa]

Hero

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

promxrippa he is bang on. I have a 6litre with a mild cam that would demolish this thing. Hows he a hero? Your in denial

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

promxrippa your in denial bro. A 6 litre with a baby cam only would make 303rwkw easy

[@DoctorTeamKill]

Why would you bother.. its way too old.

[@eddiecordeiro3383]

Nice car. But boring video
