Iv got a 1987 VL non turbo and wanting to turbo the RB30 properly.
Who can give me a comprehensive list of modifications I need to achieve the power. Group them in must have mods and optional mods. Don’t worry about budget too much….
For 200hp to 300hp
For 400hp to 500hp
Thanks...

Hi all hoping someone can help me with the problem.
So my vl will start and idle fine, idle can be a bit low when cold but besides that it's ok.
After driving for about 15-20 minutes and the car gets warm, I've noticed that the gauge on the fuel pressure reg will drop to zero, the idle will also...
FINAL UPDATE: The fuel tank was full of ****, which clogged the fuel pump. Cleaned the tank and replaced the fuel pump, now the car works perfectly.
UPDATE 3: So i took my car to a mechanic, he said the problem was the MAF sensor, bought a new MAF sensor... Still has the same problem. I am...
So i have a VL Executive. I believe the timing is out of whack. I'm wondering how i can time it when the little marks on the pulley are actually broken off. I really would like to avoid buying a new pulley if i can because i've already spent more money on my VL than i really wanted to.
Here's...

They seem to recommend only 2l. What should I do?
Also can someone explain how the shifter goes in. It clips in and there's a white ring that sits in there with a metal c shaped run with holes in it. Then I have another...
Hi guys.
I'm new here, but the rust bucket I've just brought tells me I'll be here quite often.
She's a 89 VL Royale - RB30e.
When you give it a bit of gas, even just a little, it splutters, coughs, and sometimes dies - and smoke comes out the pod.
The worrying thing is, the belts...
Hey guys.
I have an RB30 N/A sitting in my shed on a stand waiting for me to tear it to pieces. Now initially I had planned to simply strip it down and give it a basic rebuild for two reasons.
1- The motor hasnt exactly had the easiest of lives, so it could probably do with one.
2 - Ive need...
