My friend had one of the efi 202 VK berlina black motor. They did go alright, but nowhere near as powerful as the V8s. I remember we were getting chased one night by VC commodore that had a 253. We had absolutely no chance of getting away from it. It was swerving into us trying to drive us off the road. The power to weight ratio was to much. If we managed to pull away from this thing, it just caught up to us with barely any effort you could hear it just roar up beside us and the guy screaming at us to pull over, and also my uncle had a HQ premier with a red 253 in it and that used to leave us for dead not so much on take off but once the revs picked up it was gone, and that was a heavy car. You could just feel the difference in the power of a 202 injected or not, in comparison to a 253 it was a big difference from what I experienced, and we were told at the time it was more powerful than the V8s. That is how we got into trouble in the first place. We thought we had a much more powerful car.
I’ve heard lots of conflicting things about whether or not they are better or slower than a 253. I guess time will tell and I’ll be able to make my own verdict. Maybe I’ll do a back to back! I have got a blue 253 and a 4 speed sitting there. Maybe I can stuff that into one and line them up
The injected motors run a pl head which is an iron casting of a Yella terra head they are the bomb the flow crazy with minimal porting score look for where they are normally stamped H or L it should have PL instead
I’ll have to have a look for it when I get to this one. This car has had a lot of comments about it in regards to the injected engine so I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it
2.8 six & 4.2 V8 was dropped when VK was launched. Injected 202 had more power than standard 4.2 (106kw vs 100kw) and only a little less torque. Injected 202 considered to be one of the best versions of the Holden 6.
Pissed me self laughing ur one of the best on here . Yep vk 202 with fuel injection gos like a rocket, burnouts for days , launch harder than a 308 I recon Cheers
You’ve done so well Jake! Absolute bargain. How far would you get at a wreckers with $2k? Good deal mate. Sleep well tonight and enjoy your yoga and smashed avo in the morning 😊
Love it. Good to see Aussie cars least live abit more This will be a good watch. Good buying for 2k :D And apple sugar gum, You got another subscriber to make you eat it lol Jokes. BUT i did subscribem. First VK is not to bad. I seen worse lol. good save. She aint new i admit but awesome :D sucks it was a bitch to get it loaded tho.
More of these old cars on the road the better. First vk is probably the roughest of the lot, The silver one would be off putting to most. But if the windscreen fits it shouldn’t be too hard to pull up.
My mum had a white Vk wagon with the red fuel injected motor in it . Was a good car and was going to be my first car till some little grub stole it and put it into a tree around the corner
@V8JakeC I only wonted it so I could look at it and see how to put the heater,aicon,box and wiring back in when I put mine back together,the high rise consoles are worth a fortune,, I think you still got a good deal for 5 vk's,,have fun,looking forward to when you work on them
Vk definitly my favorate i have rare custom made toyota camry mortuary panel van trying to get it back on road as daily driver great video cheers stephen from Qld ,🤠🐨🦘✌️🐴
That first one looks like it'd be a riot to thrash around in if it had a manual
I’ve been searching for a five speed for one of these 🤔

My brother had a vk calais with the 5.0 and said his mates 3.3 injected was not far off in performance.
I’ve heard lots of conflicting things about these little engines. I guess I’ll be able to make my own verdict on them soon enough!

Always a bad idea. But we just keep doing it to ourselves.
I was straight on marketplace looking for more the same day I had finished picking the all up.

Cheers mate, im just being myself and having some fun with it all.
I’ll have to get it going and see if there’s any truth in that!
First time seeing the channel, but subscribed to see you eat that gum.
Thank you and GOBBLESS

You’re not wrong. You can’t get much for that money these days so I’m happy about that, and it’ll keep me busy.

Not all 179 motors were HP, standard motors were stamped 179.
G'day from Brooksys channel!! :-)
That engine number on the block is not original GMH stamping therefore wouldn't relay on that alone to date it
The fact that the side of the block has no casting capacity gives it authenticity that it is correct, Unless it’s a pre hk 161.

There’s some real scum out there, what a shame.
Did you pick them up in the riverland,I was going to go look at the brown,,thought he was giving it away cause it was going to scrap
Yes it is. I think the old “it’s going to scrap” is just a sales pitch to get people in to buy it, because people don’t take scrap prices for them.

seems like a good deal, you won't tell until you restore
Cheers mate. I reckon they’ll turn out okay
