CAPA At the Clipsal 500 29th February, 2008 As sponsors of the KPM Holden vs Ford National Dyno Shootout, we were asked to bring our VE SS Ute for demonstration purposes throughout the event. We jumped at the chance to run the car again and on Friday, with 3 runs under our belt, we made 926.4HP at the Wheels. Other Cars with CAPA Supercharger Kits were also entered into the Dyno Competition. With vehicles producing over 325kW. The CAPA VE Ute created a lot of attention over the weekend. We will be back to top the 1000hp mark at an upcoming event. The CAPA Stunt Team was also out in force, performing stunts between races A special thankyou to Dom, Peter and the Boys from Dyno Dynamics for looking after us and the car over the weekend.
CAPA VE Ute Unveiled at Summernats 21 10th January, 2008 We started building our new project car, a VE SS Ute 3 weeks before Summernats. There were many late nights spent building an Engine, Strengthening the Driveline and Developing the Supercharger kit to where it is now. The engine was stroked to 409 cubic inches, with a one off crank, rods and pistons installed to ensure the engine could withstand over 20psi of boost at 7200rpm. A Custom Camshaft and Ported Big Valve Heads were also used in the build. A custom supercharger kit was developed to allow a V7 YSi Supercharger to be driven off the crank with a 50mm gilmer pulley system. The supercharger kit install includes larger 3.5" pipework and a Custom 200mm thick intercooler with Mondo Bypass Valve mounted behind the front bumper. Exhaust Gasses leave the engine via CAPA 1 7/8" Tri-Y Extractors and a Twin 3" Exhaust. With all the extra power up front, the drivetrain and brakes had to be upgraded accordingly, with a built T-56 gearbox, Twin Plate Clutch and Full Spool 3.45" installed. Touring Car inspired brakes help bring the Ute to a halt, with 365mm 6 Piston Front and 320mm 4 Piston Rear Brakes sitting behind 22" wheels wrapped in 245mm and 265mm wide rubber. The car sits lower to the ground using Bilstien Coil-overs specifically set up for this ute. Additional fuel is supplied by an alloy fuel tank, 3 bosch motorsport pumps and a Vortech Super FMU. We entered our ute in the Horsepower Heroes dyno competition, and it made 856.6 Horsepower at the wheels. The Ute is capable of producing more power, but we had some unfortunate issues with the Clutch slipping. We will be working with Xtreme to build a more powerful clutch before we run the ute up again, which should see the Ute produce over 1000 Horsepower at the wheels. We also took home the Top Super Tech Trophy, which was awarded to the best Street Car which features New Technology and High Levels of Innovation.
