It was awesome to be on the crew and watching Steve wheel this thing Consistently all weekend. Not a spanner was put on it except for an oil change. Thanks Fullboost for showcasing the hard work that Steve and the boys at Forced Performance, TBRE and many others put into this car.
You don’t see too many comparably fast street cars run that straight and true, and driving through a wheelstand like that was beautiful to watch. Quality build and driving, Kudos to all involved.
The VL was one of the most confused cars of all time the Ford Nissan Holden ... 7 sec street cars are starting to grow on trees here in Australia ♥️credit to the lads
What do you mean? What parts of the VL were made by Ford? It was a car that was made entirely by Holden and fitted with a Nissan RB engine. Ford had nothing to do with it.
That is one STRONG motor!!! And that turbo will suck in a poodle from about 100 yards huh? 🤔 True blue racecar driver as well, very nice video, thanks 👍🏻

The Holden VL street car is powered by a TBRE Performance Ford Barra engine tuned by Forced Performance & Tuning and was extremely consistent all weakened walking away with multiple 7.6-second passes.
If memory serves me correct that is an x melb ( rajab) car way back in the day mr nohope Sold as a roller went to qld got a Barra and the bloke sold it few years back Great setup now she’s a rocket ship
Love it! However still torn about a Ford motor in a Holden (that had a Nissan motor anyway) the whole Ford v Holden thing...... Nonetheless what a beast! Respect.
Absolutely love this car, the most confused holden ever and powered by a ford, twin ranga dude is absolutely rocking that hat to bro. my god a street car that pulls wheelies like that and run 7s, needs to go to drag week, fuck covid
Hey is it possible to run two mics into one channel? One on your shirt plus the other hand held, then you don't have to bounce between you and the driver. Or does it not work that way, two channels and twice the f arounds at editing ?
Cheapest option is an inflatable air shock. You pump it up more one side to offset driver's weight and engine torque. There's also 5 link ladders for the big spend.
Sorry mate , i know you put alot of effort with the conversion, and it sounds great . However a Holden should have a redgum 202 straight six in it , because thats Holdens finest engineering. Not a Nissan or any other power plants.
Maybe Holden and Ford should have joined instead of closing down? Use Holden’s better body and interior and use fords better 6 engine and transmission. Probably not but could have been interesting to see how things would have been if it happened lol
Yep and back in the day the early Holden’s all had piss weak diffs so they all used Ford diffs but we won’t mention that either. People don’t like facts!
Jesus Christ! How long have you blokes been producing content ? The audio is pretty much non existent, I’m constantly having to increase or decrease my telly volume.
I love these commodores but personally it’s now ruined! A barra! Damn shame about that. The RB donk is just as good. Should’ve kept it. This car is now de-valued. To many folks ruining cars with engine swaps.
@@Tk-ou9ec then go buy one and build it yourself…. Tired of people mad at someone for building a car the way THEY want it. You seen the title you don’t like it has a Barra in it why watch the video? Plenty others to watch. So my American car gonna be worth nothing cause I put a Australian engine in it?🤷🏻♂️

Uncle Barra ! Riding out the wheelie like a true blue Australian hero

8 am, holiday, coffee and a fullboost video. Lovely start of the day 👌
Im amazed at how fast the Barra swaps are going . Near mid 7s is stonking . I just have to get over how they sound . Great clean build .
What a lovely sounding guy. I am sure the people who worked on the car are much more happy to work with such an outwardly appreciative client.
Jeebus..i cant believe how fast some of these Barra converted cars are getting.
Great to see a very humble guy . Good on ya .
And wheels up too.. loving this bloke and his VL!
What a great quality build with clear reliability as well.
Cheers for sharing FB.
Gotta give it to you guys , noticed you filming all day . I was repping your merchandise on the Saturday. Hope you enjoyed the event
Sure did, we need to get up and film there more often.
I can imagine the size of the catch can needed if it was still a RB.
Great clip, Horsepower these days is off the charts..👍

@@johnwilson1794 and Nissan Auto
@@johnwilson1794 John I seem to remember it being fitted with a Borg Warner gearbox and differential
Ford / Valiant is it not ?
That engine bay looks lovely, great work. Nice car aswell.
What a beast and love that Jeff Kendal old skool seaboard in the back ground.
All the barra haters would have to admit this is a pretty simple combo, pistons, rods and cams. Still standard head, block and crank.
Holy. What a build and what a weapon. As a VL lover and RB lover, can't blame a bloke for going with a barra
Yeah fullboost, get that jamboree footage up. Thanks boys.
Always love barra transplants....well done fellow👍

The wheelie run was cool
2K Barra, best engine ever fitted to a Holden!!!!
The good ole 2speed powerglide. Nice quick vl
Love this car!
Jamie The Barra Guru!

Clean build
Uck yeah Allan Langer is fast
LOL I was thinking the same thing
Top bloke 👌 nice car 👍 a sick hat 🤠 what more could you ask for from fullboost
Awesome!
That’s real torque! not slapping the front down and being able to sit it down soft like that!
4:02 Finally, no need to reach into the effin glovebox to pop the boot! 😂 Sweet car, sounds way better than the RB
7.89 with wheelstand...shout this legend a beer 🍺 👌 👏 Fk yea

7 second pass peddling it is insane

It's red and has a taxi block in it, imagine how fast a yellow one would go.
Must be the optional 186s engine ))
Is this scotty with one arms old ride?
7 second 2k barra.
Sweet!
Is this Scottys old RIP 30 VL barra?
love it
Barra in a VL
This is a democracy manifest
Ah, I see you know your judo well.
Take the chute off and put a set of street tyres on it and you'd never know this thing is capable of 7s
if the hills have eyes had mechanics
specs on what you need to do to the rear suspension to keep it flat on take off would be good.
Cheapest option is an inflatable air shock. You pump it up more one side to offset driver's weight and engine torque. There's also 5 link ladders for the big spend.
NICE CAR!
Mint 👌
7 second
VL INCREDIBLE / BARRA
C'mon man I need my Benchtorque........ I'm starting to go into withdrawals
Same! I’m sure this video will supply good content 😂
@@fullnoyz7670 I need both Ranga's man.....
Holden fan boys mad at a Barra being in a VL.. But the car came with a Nissan engine..
Should have kept the Nissan in it.
GOD DAMN FAST GM VEHICLE POWERED BY FORD
Well done you have just completely destroyed a perfect iconic holden🤔🤔🤔
Ha , came with a Datsun engine !
As a Holden person I hate this car because it's got a barra
i been folloing this guy on ig for a bit now sick car
Haltech NEXUS FTMFW!
What a dad hat!
The old white unit has been retired...it served me well for many years 🤙
Thought it was Allan Langer at 0:36
Does anyone have a tube chassis Barra powered door slammer?
@@npx20 that thing is sick. I’ve seen that car run here in America in Pro Stock, so cool to see it in another life down under

Jamie is a king! if you're in qld theres no other place to take a barra.

Awesome
So this is where Alan Langer went
Perfect if you kind of like Holdens, and you like Fords too. Or if you are just an attention seeker.
Or if u wanna go fast and look good doing it
Heresy !
What's the plates mean? Obviously the last bit is mate
Plumb. Steve is a plumber on the goldy
@@XAH03 thanks mate. I thought it said something like that then I was like no that doesn't make sense haha
Obviously a work car/tax dodge 😉
7 sec arrow straight passes whats not to like
What a stout car
Looks like it’s up to a Ford engine to make a Holden quick 👀
Yep and back in the day the early Holden’s all had piss weak diffs so they all used Ford diffs but we won’t mention that either.
People don’t like facts!
That pass against the rx7 showed the rotary bois how its done
Imagine if it had a Barra In it . Be running low 4s
Why??? 😱
Rather a Prius.
Disgusting fkin torch it
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
when the dirty 30 Rb costs too much to buy - 2K barra.
VL Commo-ford
Gary Marquett
Almost. Commonissord? I think? Something like that
His cars fast, hes abit slow
And your a bit rude.
Takes a Ford motor to make a Nissan/Holden Gremlin move🤪💯🤣‼
🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Hahahahha a ford Barra in a Holden hahaha
VL is and always will be a Nissan power plant. Wtfaq is this nonsense
Can that car Holden there that motor makes sure it goes ford 🤣🤣🤣 iykyk
I love these commodores but personally it’s now ruined!
A barra! Damn shame about that. The RB donk is just as good. Should’ve kept it. This car is now de-valued.

It was engine swapped outta the factory. 😅
@@fullboost yes and I preferred it with its factory Nissan engine. Nothing wrong with those engines
