VP restrictors

[Jake.VScommo]

hey, are there any other restrictors in the buick V6 VP other than the one in the intake mani? wat little home job mods can u do to get that little extra power out of it?????

[VN_chris]

stock air box is a piece of s**t. Repco has some VN-VP CAI, the type that sits on top of the fan mine cost $49. works best with a K&N high flow pannel filter and is better than an exposed pod.

l67 airbox and intake scoop, shouldnt be any more than $100 from holden.
Gives an improvement in throttle response and pretty cool induction noise.

wat about the engine, like the heads etc. wat mods can be done at home?????

[Cobez]

You could build yourself a fresh block with a cam etc if you know how and have the tools etc at home.

oh ok. is it true that u shouldnt put a cam in the buik V6's? apparently it doesnt work well wif the fuel injection. a friend told me.....

[Steery]

Sorry, bigger cam and fuel injection don't suit each other?

Your friend is a genius. Introduce me?

Turbo will make extra power and can be done at home

he isnt on just commodores. he has the commodore i'm lookin at buying. he told me coz i wanted to put a cam in it if i buy it. so wat will happen if i put a cam in it? why isnt it gd for the buik V6's???????

Depending on how many k's it has done, buicks can spin cam bearings if the k's are high.

Theres no problem with getting a cam in a buick 3800......... if its done right

lol yea i would hope it does. but turbo burns a hole in ur wallet. i want some tips on little things that u can do to get more power. i heard that maybe u can take the heads out nd sand em back nd the same for the intake manifold. true???? wat else can i do?

oh ok, so 180000km - 200000kms gd for a cam????

get a foam tune, good bang for 50 bucks

From what I have read, not personal experience, 200 000kms would be the thresh hold for fitting a cam.

[Jake.VScommo]

ok, a foam tune sounds cool. wat does it do?

so 200 000kms would be the highest kms to put a cam in it???

[TVR-190]

do a search for foam tune and you will find all the info you need

[Jake.VScommo]

ok cool. i will
