Looks awesome. This car is goin to make me very poor. Will there be any interfacing issues with the Displacement on Demand feature? Also it says LS2 motor in the info but the G8 is getting a different motor correct? Same displacement but pretty much different right? The name of the new motor escapes me at the moment.

so how much hp?!? looks really clean!

a lot of hp, a lot of torque. boost + displacement ***

Damn i was thinking of getting a G8 and leaving it stock as a daily driver. Yeah now it looks that ain't going to happen if i do get one, kit looks great.

Does this keep the cats? Where are the cats if it keeps them?

Here you go, power versus torque

Top-notch setup, as usual from APS. That Aussie nose looks killer, what do they call that particular model/trim there?

If I'm not mistaken that is a HSV GTS with an LS2 so the numbers are not going to be the exact same as the G8 with the L98.

Very sweet! That'd be a fun DD.:D

Those G8s are really growing on me.

Thats awesome! Toys to void the warranty on a car that you can't even get in the US yet!

Are the turbos where the catalitic converters were?

Good question....

i want to put the aussie front on my g8.

i want to put the aussie front on my g8.Lol.............anything is doable if you have the desire. :D

In Aust, the base Commodore (G8) has a 365 HP engine whereas the HSV has the 400 HP LS2 engine, hope that helps,

Peter...

Do you have any estimates on what this would produce on our version here in the states?? I would guess it would have similar results. Jeez you guys out there never seem to stop pushing the bar foward. I still remember when I had what seemed like APS everything for my Subaru. I'm glad I'll be able to do the same with any of GM's performance platforms. Hopefully the bring the Ute over as an El Camino and then I'll definately be checking in with ya. But I guess if not, then the G8 will suit me just fine hahah....

Does this keep the cats? Where are the cats if it keeps them?The twin turbo system deletes the stock cats though I recommend a set of high flow cats if you want a quiter/cleaner engine. :D

The power output for the US twin turbo G8 will be around 550 rwhp on 93 octane fuel and around 525 rwhp on 91 octane fuel. :nod:

SmittyI've been told that the Holden 6 litre V8 ute will be exported to the US though I am not sure in what time frame.

Hope that helps, :cheers:

Thanks,

Peter

Thanks on the info... I figured it'd be about the same/few hp less, but in the LS based world, we all know that slight figure is always a cam/head change away in the GM parts bin. Well I guess I'll be waiting on a 6spd Ute then heheheh. Hmm maybe I should just invest in the kit now and leave it in the garage till that bad boy gets here hahah. Jeez too bad I couldn't install that kit in a 6.0 64' Nova, now that'd be something....

Thanks again Peter,
Smitty.

Has the L76 computer code been cracked yet?

this on a completely stock motor?

or did you upgrade valve springs and such?

Totally, hpt, efilive etc.

With how quick the boost comes on I bet that car is a blast to drive.

With how quick the boost comes on I bet that car is a blast to drive.It's certainly a very quick 4 door sedan, with decent rubber I expect it would trap at around 130 MPH. :D

Peter

Think the stock auto trans (6L80E is it?) can handle the power?

Think the stock auto trans (6L80E is it?) can handle the power?I don't have any experience with the auto trans..............the stick trans handles the torque quite comfortably. :D

Peter

I heard these cars can fit 295 tires stock, is that true?

Damn!!! Good numbers!!!

That is SICK. :eek2:

Sorry, I kinda missed that!!!

What is the diff between APS Power and APS Boost Pressure? Thanks!!!

What is the diff between APS Power and APS Boost Pressure? Thanks!!!

WThe graph just shows power versus boost pressure...............557 rwhp at approx 7.2 PSI of pressure. :D

Cheers,

That Aussie nose looks killer

Agreed, that front end looks bad ass.

557 rwhp at approx 7.2 PSI of pressure. :D

Wow... :devil:

Peter, do you sell the "APS Twin Turbo" front plates? I have a monaro front clip.

Thanks, I really like that setup!!!

Nice numbers. Any idea as to final cost of the kit + s/h to the states?

Nice numbers. Any idea as to final cost of the kit + s/h to the states?I'd guess that the MSRP will be around $6495 plus shipping costs to your destination.

Pm me if you need any other information. :cheers:

Thanks,

Peter

A great looking setup as usual, Peter. If we ever get the G8 Sports Wagon over here, I will be contacting you. :thinker:

You probably know it better as the VE Commodore Sport Wagon. Supposedly, both it and the Ute will eventually be coming to the states as G8 offerings. Link to the Holden website. http://www.vecommodoresportwagon.com.au/

Peter,

Would there be any issues with the turbo placement on a daily driver? Just wondering about water splashing on the turbo housings when driving on wet roads.

Peter,

Our twin turbo engineering teat car has completed a full winter of road testing and I've even diven through flooded roads at low speed (around 10 inches of water) without any issue. :nod:

Thanks,

Peter
