Been a while since ive done anything to the car thanks to my very busy workload.
So heres the story.
Went out & bought a powerbond 20% under drive pulley kit. Heard a lot of good things about these kits but never saw any dyno charts or anything related to the VZ V6 Alloytecs. However theres heaps of info regarding these kits & V8's. So i thought what the hell, ill bite the bullet & buy a kit get it installed & get it dynoed much to everyone elses curiosity.
Contacted Mark from TTT Performance in Dandenong, nice bunch of blokes to boot as well & since this was an experimental thing for me & their workshop; they put my nerves at ease.
So here goes...
Below is the dyno that we've all been waiting for.
If you cant read the text, the car on a 22deg day pulled 116kw. Now thats stock without ANY mods. no exhaust, filter, header, nothing. Just stock from the factory & in desperate need of a general service! So not too shabby.
After the pulley kit was installed, the car pulled 122kw. total of 6kw. Cool! not bad for a $250 mod. But more importantly the car definitely has a better torque range under foot. Its certaintly not a "throw you back into the seat with a 100G forces worth of excitement", but it surely feels a lot more "free" under the foot. Also when using accessories such as AC is totally unnoticeable. Trust me the AC still works well, but as we all know, when you use the AC you'd notice it. But now its seamless. Fuel wise its slightly better as well. Not a massive drop, but from city-suburban driving, going from 12.1 down to 11.2 is pretty good me thinks. No change in driving behavior either.
So i'd recommend it. And for those guys after a bit more KW's, & have installed the exhaust, filter kits & god knows what else, definitely give this a shot as it will give you a bit more go. Installation for us novices took about an hour.
Well worth it & enjoy. Thanks again to the TTT Performance guys in dandy as well.
