That intake is just magic .

[@TorqHub]

Cheers Bias. Thanks for watching dude

[@timothylaidler1978]

I love kurt managing his expectations and then the actual joy once she fires. Great work boys love the old iron lion content.

[@TorqHub]

Expecting the worst and hoping for the best mate haha

[@davidewhite69]

The VL/VN Group A engine has to be the sexiest looking engine ever, shame they stopped making it and we got a box of bananas instead

[@TorqHub]

Yeah the bananas leave a lot to be desired in comparison. Haha

[@ClunieGarage]

So true, the twin throttle body intakes are simply awesome - they scream "Bathurst"!

[@pehicollins2559]

Ol mate looks baked. Awesome motor lads

[@TorqHub]

Long nights, short sleeps. Borderline burnt out! Haha. All for the love of the car 😍

[@honestpat7789]

I reckon I prefer this to the skid factory skyline build 😂

[@TorqHub]

Haha. Those guys have a fantastic skillset and channel so thanks for the compliment mate👍

[@Biscuitabuse]

Beautiful bit of kit, almost gives me the horn.

[@TorqHub]

We reckon it'd put a horn on a jellyfish... but we could be bias 😅

[@theskidfactory]

[@rockygoodfellow77]

Nice to see it running. You guys should run a five litre meet/run one day. Would love to bring my original condition VS Executive 5.0 manual out for a run.

[@TorqHub]

That sounds like a fantastic idea Rocky! We will do a cruise in the future some time for sure

Oh God that was satisfying 😌 😩 👌

[@TorqHub]

Cheers legends!!!

[@t.smith3675]

Great video and beautiful car but just a heads up your discs need to be swapped over from left to right, if you look at the curved grooves machined into the face in forward rotation they remove heat from the disc. Keep up the great work

[@TorqHub]

The discs had a directional arrow on them mate. Can confirm, they are in the correct orientation 👍🏻

[@t.smith3675]

Ok no worries all good keep up the great work

[@TorqHub]

Thanks for watching mate. Appreciate all you legends 💪🏻

[@t.smith3675]

All good looking forward to future of the channel

[@dannyboy632]

That group A manifold is worth more than the car😄😄

[@TorqHub]

True story.

[@MrVnssbt1]

Hey mate once car is done are you getting a full respray done to the car or polish it

[@TorqHub]

Hey Michael, the car will get a full restoration at some point in the future for sure. The idea is to get the bugs ironed out, upgrade the turbo and finish the 355 motor and then when I'm ready, tear it apart, panel/ paint and re-assemble.

[@MrVnssbt1]

@@TorqHub Of course nice mate slowly enjoy the car you are doing a awsome job enjoy the car brother.

[@bigdavedownunder]

Are you running power steering or manual rack?

[@TorqHub]

Vl manual rack on this one mate.

[@bigdavedownunder]

@@TorqHub I'm trying to figure out the rack end fitting size so I can run astra pump in my vr statesman it's a pain in the ass time I invested in a thread ID kit

[@TorqHub]

I can't remember off the top of my head but I know speedflow do the fittings. Look up bump tube adapters, they do m14 m16 and m18 with an -6 male end so that's probably what you're chasing mate. If I can find the part numbers I'll post them in this reply section.

[@bigdavedownunder]

Hey Ben, the intake manifold is an original oem item off a vn ss group a. Considered by some as the holy grail of intakes for the beloved holden v8. Thanks mate
