How much RWKW would a Stage 3 Engine give me on a 1993 series 2 VP V6?
would like to know as my car is stock and at the moment is has about 85rwkw and 125fwkw would like to know how muck fwkw and rwkw power i would get with a stage 3 engine rebuild

Define "stage 3"

[walker-group-a-ss]

whole engine rebuild maxed out to what it can hold hope more than 150rwkw
cams, heads, rockers u name it

The problem is each company have different stages.

One companys Stage 3 could have less than anothers stage 2. You really have to specify the company and the parts they'll be using.

150rwkw out of an N/A VP V6? You have more chance of winning Tattslotto....

Also, do you really need 2 threads?

[TVR-190]

the stage 3 engines on ebay are about 175 fly wheel kw

[greenfoam]

You can make 150 rwkw out of a VP V6 no problem, but it will cost you twice as much as much or more than just going and buying a complete 5 litre car which will also have twice the torque in the mid range once you have gone that crazy on your V6

[Blown V6 Hatch]

I don't understand what the fascination is with trying to build a fast N/A V6? It's a complete waist of time & money, Just boost it up and be happy....

[greenfoam]

Can't argue with that . Better still throw it in the bin and but a RB30 in it, then you can have power and legal (ish). The very fastest NA V6's are only in the high 13's best case and it's just not worth spending all those dollars to get there

i wana keep my v6 but to do an eight it would cost more money converting it, i know just buy an 8 instead of swapping it into the 6 but the car has sentimental value,
so u guyz think maybe i should just supercharger her and ill get the power that way or rebuild the engine with stage 3 componets and super charger.
couple years down the track i wana have her as a show car really..
i have 5,000 to spend what do u guys think i should get done to the engine
P.S i also wanted a stage 3 engine coz the engine has done almost 350,000kms and the guys at the auto shop said its pointless putting a stage 1 or 2 cam in coz the engine is old so u might aswell just rebuild her,
ne replys would be great cheers.

Once again, stages mean nothing if you don't list what parts it comes with

[walker-group-a-ss]

yeh true when i know the brand name ill let u know do u have ne work done to urs?

[ibt18u]

hey walker i had a worked vn v6 and it went great.great motor and transsmission.3.55 in the diff.the drive train was bullet proof and never had a problem with it. although,for the money spent i could have built a 355.

[ibt18u]

is this somthing what you were looking at or were talking along the lines ofhttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/holden-vn-vp-vr-vs-v6-stage-3-performance-sre-engine_W0QQitemZ120462339806QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_ Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0c1d6ede&_trksid= p3286.c0.m14???

[deathsminion]

That engine wouldn't make much more power than a cammed VR V6. Same SCR, no flow figures, a drop in clive cam with uprated valve springs.

****ing crooks.

[walker-group-a-ss]

IBT18U yes thats the sort of motor im after roughly 150 RWKW i wana stick with a my VP V6 coz my car has sentimental value althought id like to get a V8 instead,
but do u think its worth it in the long run as i will have her for a very long time

[Troy5L]

as i said in the other thread, just whack a turbo on it and you will get a great increase in power

[walker-group-a-ss]

yeh but adding a turbo or super charger on a stock motor will put strain on the motor wont it?

[shiftySLE]

does the car have sentimental value or the motor, could you not buy a 5.0 and do the transplant, you'll end up with more power straight away and it would easy to get work done on the motor while its out too.

[walker-group-a-ss]

the car has sentimental value, how hard is it to put V8 wiring in what else would i have to change like computer, brakes optional and so on

[shiftySLE]

nothing is hard if you have all the right parts, thats why i say source another car that has been smashed in the back or side, anything you need is there, look up conversions and have read and weigh it up as an option. I had my whole engine bay on the last car rewired to neaten it up and that only cost $350. When it comes to electrics, i like getting the pros to do it.

[walker-group-a-ss]

sweet as thanks for that ill look into it

[Harey]

moderate boost on the engine and you will be absolutely fine. i was fine on 15psi. raised it to 17psi and blew a headgasket. but even then that was all.
