Can a STOCK Holden V8 handle a SUPERCHARGER for 20 YEARS?!? PSI 304 hits the DYNO in prep for MV38!

LOL , I tuned that car nearly 20 years ago for MWS , looking at the graphs the fuel pump is at its limit , pretty common to see them do that. Fuel curve still looks good between 12 and 12.5 just like it was at the time until the pump runs out. They were a good combo on a stock motor , or with a mild crane 286 cam and a 355 stroker crank .

[@TorqHub]

Yeah fuel pump certainly wants looking at. Held pressure, but you can tell flow is tapped.

[@ArchimedeanEye]

What a good setup in a little ute. Anything out of the legendary Mark's Workshop has to be the shiz!

[@TorqHub]

You'll get varying opinions on that lol.

Cool vid, good to see the 5.0s. Rob has a beautiful couple of vs commys. I hope you had a few chats with him. If you're looking to update the fuel pump to make it easier I put a vu ute fuel tank in my vs ute. Opens up pump options way more and you dont got to remove the tank any more to change fuel pumps as the vu pump is in through the top of the tank. I did have to take a heat gun, dolly and hammer to parts of the tank and trim some edges off to make it fit. With your guys skills you would do it with ease. Vu -vy1 the gauge reads backwards vy2 fuel gauge sender reads the correct way.

[@TorqHub]

After pulling the car off the dyno we probably hung around chatting with Jason and Rob for 2+ hours lol... and a cheeky sting in his turbo ute before making the 2 hour trip home lol. It was a late night. Thanks for the tip on the fuel tank! Something to look into 😉🤙🏻

[@danielpriestley2926]

That's mad, I wouldn't be disappointed pushing some projects back to give this some love 👌

[@TorqHub]

The others need to take preference so they can go back home to their respective owners and give us some of our space back 😅 Unfortuntely any money spent on the ute only robs from the VH SL/E account... as you could imagine, this process has already done a bit of that lol.

[@damienhasleby8390]

Great result Jeff, hope ya have a ball on the weekend!

[@jmegetkrunk]

Im digging these weekly uploads!!! Keep it up, hell yeah cam package, e85, pully down, intercooler, haltech ecu,

More uploads to come during Motorvation! ... but dont get used to the frequency lol. We'll be back to our consistenly inconsistent schedule before too long 😅

[@mattmccabe5197]

That's super impressive mate!! awesome numbers from the old girl 😎

[@honestpat7789]

Not bad, considering that when TSF built their iron lion and bolted the harrop blower on top it ‘only’ cleared 500 🔥

[@LStheHR]

Yeah boi, still a wicked little ute!!!

[@justgowithit19]

My 304 Ute has a built top end and got 298kw with 5 psi of boost so you could achieve more with a few internal mods

[@manchildgarage4957]

Sweet bit more than I thought very good keep it up boys

[@b3nny90]

Would be really interesting to see how it goes with a new ECU on board. The old Delco units are awesome but with the new tech and tuning capabilities now it would be a great comparison. Awesome to see its held the tune that well for that long.

[@TorqHub]

I think the Delco is still pretty capable for the combo seeing its still so basic. No boost control/traction control strategies etc. But I won't rule out an ECU change a long (LONG) way down the road 😅

[@southerndiy1]

That’s a very healthy 304 and god damn do they sound great

[@pjm582009]

Not bad at all. Honestly wouldn't fuck with it, its bullet proof reliable that you can enjoy at any time, why turn it into a potentially temperamental car. You'll have more than you can dream of that with the vh (sorry can't remember if vcbh, I'm a ford man lol) and I'm speaking from experience. 1 problem car is more than enough, a decent bullet proof supercharged v8 to muck around in when the problem child is acting up will be a god send than 2 friggin cars playing up.

[@lifeofmaximus8408]

Well said

[@ShaunDavis-jl6fr]

330rwhp on stock cam is pretty good....was expecting 300 but heaps of torque. Do like old 284 off the shelf combo 304 or 355 setups that were common foe sidemounts back in the day.

[@BADQ]

Hell yeah have to be happy with that 👌👍💯 go on you know you want more 🤣🤣🤣

[@blownssv]

Those 5l's have a very small cam, it should be the first thing to be replaced when adding boost to them

[@kristianfrey5766]

Yeewwwhhhh that's so cool 😎 and sick !

[@dank_productions94]

Well I guessed about 50hp shy of what it made 😅 plenty for a lightweight vs ute 👌

[@riddles20102010]

Your ute is so sick❤ I'm looking to do the same with my vs wagon. What shop did you take your ute too ? I'm looking for a tune and upgrades. I live in Perth and been waiting to supercharger and tune my wagon. Keep up the amazing work and content cheers 🍻

[@TorqHub]

Thanks mate, would be a sweet little sleeper in a wagon! Talk to CSC Performance and maybe look at a Harrop 2300 blower combo for a cruisy bolt on upgrade for ~400rwhp 🤙🏻 technology has come a long way since this combo was put together!

[@riddles20102010]

@TorqHub yeah I love vn-vs there the best models in my opinion. VS being My no1 favourite especially wagons and statos. I would love a Stato wagon that would be sick. Anyway cheers big orse for recommending them I'll check them out !! 🤙🍻

[@enesfazlic6017]

The great Australian V8 Awesome engine

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

impressive!

[@ashburncitystandup9707]

Can't believe it's making this power for this long. Bump it up another 70-100whp and it'll probs live another decade hahah😂😂

[@willmorgan365]

Was that blower installed when the engine was new?

[@TorqHub]

Nah mate, blower was fitted in 2004. Ute is a '95 model

[@willmorgan365]

@TorqHub I'm just wanted to know cause my vr is 120000 ks on it and I was wondering if I'd have issues walking a blower on it?

[@TorqHub]

@willmorgan365 None. At time of this dyno session this car had 175k on the clock

[@nathanvanlieshout7834]

Are you going to be doing any burnouts or cruises at the track?

[@TorqHub]

Not entered in the burnouts, but will do supercruises 🤙🏻

[@Deuce1550]

Why did I bother building a 355 when this would have been easier and makes more power for the same money. Great video. Hmmm, maybe I Whipple/Eaton the 355? Hmmm, right on top of the come TTB, hmmm. Keep up the great work boys.

[@TorqHub]

Or a Harrop 2300 would be a great option!

Ah yeah rito. 308 304 Most successful AUSTRALIAN V8 in Motorsport history virtually bullet proof unless your a complete cock stick and have huge potential to make PLENTY of power. They were never meant to be making huge HP in stock form and fords offerings were no different. A stock 302 Windsor in the 90s was a gutless pos and even a 351 in an XC was a boat anchor gutless turd and nothing but a rod thrower.
