Boosted Falcon

After selling my boosted eb I needed a new car so yer, I know its a holden but I got it for a decent price, its a WH STATESMAN INTERNATIONAL LS1 auto. I've driven a few ls1`s and unlike most of them this one actually has low down torque it currently has the following mods:

SS Inductions 78mm billet throttle body
SS Inductions Growler cold air intake
Mafless tune done, approx 330kw
Pacemaker extractors
Pacemaker hi-flow 2.5" cats
Yella Terra hi-ratio roller rockers
Underdriven pulley set 25%
Twin 2.5" sports exhaust
Lowered with full Pedders Sportsryder suspension
Nolathane bushes throughout
camber kit front and rear
Rear guards have been rolled
Harrop brake upgrade which includes 343mm front and 332mm rear discs
18" Alloys
3.46:1 LSD fitted (std is 3.08)
Transmission remapped(upshifts and downshifts quicker and firmer)











After only having the car for 2 days this is what someone at work did after hitting it with there truck, all good but as it get fixed in a week.


planned mods are:
3.9 lsd
3700 stall converter
transmission cooler
w/line 30mm front and 24 mm rear sway bars both adjustable
and maybe a cam in a few months and hopefully get 280-300rwkw if I can be bothered.
Change the wheels as I think these ones are fugly
and take the crap chev badges off

Wow, that scrubbed up clean as!

not bad at all, dont mind those rims either, nice and subtle.

i like the way the rear seats are shaped like two buckets

Nice stato man.

Should be fun with a big dirty stall.

Thanx mate, the rear seats are actually more comfortable then the front. As for the rims as I'm a p-plater I want something more standard looking like the statesman international 17's but they want fit under my brakes.

Thanx mate, I'm only going for a big one cause I'll probably do a cam in it later

I like the wheels. Nice list of mods too.

+1 for removing chev badges

definitely, retards who do that stuff annoy me.

Looks mint

i dont wanna say it but that stato looks great. good work.

thanx mate

I've always loved the WH Statesmans, nice stuff man

i've seen that car before? did you get it off a guy in greensborough by chance ?

Yer i did mate his name was Keir

Looks the goods man nice buy, always like the look of WH statesmans even if they are a glorified commonwhore. i like those rims it could maybe be a touch lower though. be prepared for absolutly no fuel economy with 3.9's 3700 stally and i big cam. one of my mates did that and he was getting about 370km out of a tank after he had all the go gear done

Very nice the wheels look like a BMW M6 item good luck with the build

I'd be lucky if i get 370km out of a tank curently, I was hoping at best may be 300km city driving with all the work done

that's my old neighbor, he has a bad habbit of spending alot of cash on a car & selling it cheap....
due to not being able to afford to run it .......you should've got a pretty good deal
he's now got a mazda mx5 convertable (the first gen) he did have a laser turbo as well (project car),
but i think he got rid of that as well.

He obviously goes through a few cars, I only got this of him about 2 1/2 weeks ago

he must've just got the mx5 ? .....as he was working on it when i picked my bro up to go the drags last friday night,
my bro filled me in on the sale etc.
he used to have a dual 3" exhaust on it ......it made more power but he said it was to loud
good luck with the car mate !

cheers steve.k.

Thanx mate.

Update, I've just put a deposit on a twin turbo kit by AVO so that should be installed by the end of January.

The kit includes:
Twin GT30/37 Ball Bearing R Type Turbochargers
AVO Cast Manifolds
AVO High Temp Turbo Cast Outlets
AVO Large Bar & Plate Front Mount Intercooler
Twin AVO Power Air Filters
AVO Racing Blow-off Valve
AVO High-Temp studs and all necessary hoses, clamps, and fittings
Stainless Steel Braided oil lines and water lines.
AVO Aluminum IC Piping and Silicone joints
Siemens 660cc Fuel Injectors
600hp Fuel Pump.

The tune is gonna be setup for about 380rwkws on about 6 or 7 psi, I only hope the stock auto last a little bit.

FARRKKK, you dont waste any time, this sounds like its gunna be sick, i dont mind these statos, gl with it.

yer I thought about and its gonna cost about 7-8 grand to do a cam, stall and diff gears and all for about 300rwkws and it would be lumpy as ****, so for an extra couple of grand I can get this done and this kit is also on a vx ss manual and its done 600rwkws on 20psi all on a stock bottom end too.

bloody hell. that will get the big statsman up and going!

I think with the power it should do an 11 second qtr fairly easliy which is more then enough on the street.

Who will be fitting and tuning it?

AVO in Cheltanam, I went around there on Monday to put a deposit on the kit and they seem fairly good and they've fitted this kit about 30 or 40 times so hopefully all goes well.

AVO stuff looks nice, and they've been around for yonks.
should be a fair monster man, it'll piss in an 11.
be interesting see how long the stock box lasts.

Yer I've read some good things about them and they seemed like decent people. I've got a guy who will build me a box for a decnet price, but i just want to delay that as much as possible.

keir may want to buy it back off you after you put all that gear on it

no hope, I'll have to much fun with it

Well done, nice xmas present for yourself, let us know how it goes! I've considered doing something like that many times, but with my car traction is pissweak even as stock. Stupid IRS...

very nice mate... completely unbaised opinion ofcourse!!!... haha looks like u only had it for a bit and have some decent plans... decent car for a p plater too

i really like this
even tho i am not a big fan of holdens
good luck with the turbo should be fun when its all done

AVO had a kit in their showroom, and it's damn nice quality to be honest. They showed us around their VX demo car as well and that looked great, so hopefully it all goes well.

They were happy to spend well over an hour explaining everything about the kit and install, as well as answering a million questions, so big props there.

Fingers crossed that all goes well with install and tuning.

Trying to talk my brother out of such a high initial power figure, I'm thinking maybe it's a touch too high for a 20 year old

I think you guys are putting the kit on the wrong car, should chuck it on the red beast Justin!! Or have you sold that one too!
