    Great review of the Calais, Ross. I love the work he’s put into this car to make it as quick as it is. I really like that he’s kept the exterior stock. It like the colour too. Love the sound of supercharger whine. The 0-100 was quite impressive. Would love see what time it could get with more traction and a better surface. A credit to the owner once again.

    I bought a new l67 S pack in 1998 and still have it, around 270k km, completely stock. I remember going for a tour of Holden Engine Manufacturing plant in around 1997. They had a stack of these engines on crates that they imported ready made from USA sitting in bulk in one section of the building. I always wanted to turbo the VT with a compound setup but ended up turboing EA to EF falcons which was a better and easier car to make good power IMO.

    4:05 the l67 has been around at least since the start of VT (1997), whereas the barra was released for BA (2002). I personally feel like it was more of a response to the VCT Intech given the similar power figures, even though I'm not sure which one was released first.
    edit: the l67 was first used in the VS, thank you to those who pointed this out

    Thanks for the review John. I had a fully optioned tungsten grey 2004 L67 Calais and I loved it. Such an underrated car and engine, but also underwhelming without mods. So I went ahead and did a 10psi pulley swap, water to air intercooler, exhaust and tune and it was awesome. Cam, rockers and stroker kit and they become an absolute weapon. Another car that I can add to the list of regretful sales.

    With the price of ls motors and getting a 304 quick they're good option. I'd owned plenty of turbo cars but never a blower so decided to go that way.
    The 210 @.050 refreshed stock l67 with headers and a spacer is cool in the vu/vy/vz mongrel ute I've got.
    Now I've got a +1 mm oversize , forged rod , main studded , 216/226 xpz cammed , a2a motor on the stand with a Baz modified blower for a vs.

Manulised auto with 3200stall, drilled/upgraded soilinoids, cams, exhaust,front mount intercooler, roller rockers, built diff, I forget what size pulley here and I think it was about 14-16 lb . He spent around $16k on it 328rwhp.... which doent sound like a lot but it made 1163nm of torque... my mate sold it cheaper than he should have and then 6 months later guy tried to sell it back to him for more fully thrashed out with a different diff and transmission.

    As much as the revised sv6 engine would have been nice with a supercharger or turbo, why would they? Off the floor it made 190kw from 3.5L, which was 19kw more than the supercharged 3.8L L67. I've always thought the L67 had shockingly low figures for it's size, both in NA and SC form.
    This here, is very good to see a L67 made into the engine that it should have been from factory.

Then found a supercharged hot house green manual supercharged at a 2ndnhand dealer ship for 4k in 2018 we almost bought it then didnt.
