We recently completed an LS3 conversion into a VT SS 6spd manual.
The customer came to us either wanting the 5.7 rebuilt or replaced with another engine & we decided to go ahead with replacing the engine with a new LS3, which still had the truck manifold & sump on it.
We put a very a mild Comp Cam in it & used all of the factory 5.7 mounts & we used a lingenfelter to convert the 6.2lt crank & cam signal to a 5.7 signal.
We also replaced the lifters from the displacement on demand to the normal lifter style set-up of a LS1 engine & used the standard VT SS cast exhaust manifolds & full standard exhaust.
We used a VCM Aluminium OTR & with one of our custom mafless tunes the car made 281.7rwkw.
The customer was extremely happy with the car & will be back in the next couple of weeks to get a 90mm throttle body, 1 7/8" 4 into 1 headers & a full twin 3" exhaust.

On Sunday 25th October we attended the Hazelwood All Makes Car Show.
This was our first year actually attending the event & overall it was a really great day out & look forward to attending next year.

We wanted to say a big thanks to Ben & Anthony from HM Headers & also Geoff from Lucas Oils for attending the event with us.

For those who were not able to make the event I have posted some pictures of our cars that we had on display.

The team at Independent Motorsports wanted to say a big thank you to all that attended our Open Day on 3rd October.
Overall it was a really great day & the weather held up even though rain was forecasted.
We also wanted to say a big thanks to all of our sponsors that attended the day or for those who were unable to attend for providing stock to put on display.
Here are a few pics from the day.....

A quick update on the Supra - we have just installed a new ignition system as the old ignition system had well and truly passed its expiry date.
We tuned the Supra today and it made a whopping 807.9hp/600kw with 26.5psi.
Check out the dyno graph below.....

We did a quick tune up of the Territory on the dyno on Tuesday night & we managed to hit the 300kw mark with the peak of 12 psi up to 4500rpm and tapering down to 9 psi.
We were not able to put anymore boost into it as we were maxing out the duty cycle on the boost controller as a result of the factory exhaust proving to be of restriction.
We will put the car back on the dyno this week some time and spend some time on the tune as our timing figures were quite conservative & I believe there is more power to be made before we make up the new exhaust over the weekend.
This is our first territory with a stage 2 kit in it & I must say that I am amazed at how fast this car is on the road. It just grips up and puts you back in your seat.
