Post up you mace mods and power figure

[STL17]

Howdy all i thought it would be a good idea to put up a thread for people that run mace products and to show what gains they have seen from them ill start

Car- Vn ecotec v6

Trans- Auto stage 2 shift kit

Diff- 3.7 open wheel

Suspension- king superlows all round

Exaughst- catback lukey

Mods- * mace 1.98 rockers
* mace 12mm plen spacer
* mace 24mm main spacer
* mace 82c thermostat
* mace 69mm tb
* vt injectors
* l67 cold air intake

I got 129.3kw in 2nd cause my auto wouldent stay in 3rd on a mainline dyno with 298xxx on the motor
* tune by the1

[MACE]

Jim's one

513rwkw V6

Hopefully it will be making even more once the motor is finished, which we've had a lot more input into this time round

[MACE]

Just had a though,

In regards to people posting up results it would be ideal if people could show before and after dyno results because comparing results from different dyno facilities can be somewhat miss-leading but please post away with a list of your mods and results achieved.

Cheers
Steve

Should be good to see what it all makes when it's done Mick

Not too bad mate gotta be happy with that

[wildfireSV6]

Cheers adz, I'm pretty happy with we're it's at but theres always room for development and improvement wich keepts it fun!

Gotta be happy with ur charged 6. Sounds like its a weapon. I might think of going forced in the near future!

HAHA yep but you know how it is we're always hungry for more and more power

[richardpalinkas]

car -
vz sv6

mods -
mace manifold spacers
raptor supercharger
catback exhaust twin 2 1/2
3.46 diff gears LSD

Power -
315RWHP (235RWKW), 872RWNm in 3rd gear

need extractors and high flow cats

Got to be happy with that

Especially when you consider that the factory exhaust manifolds and cats would certainly be hold power back noticeably!

[richardpalinkas]

Yea, couldn't believe it made that figure, supposedly another 30-40rwhp when I do the rest of the exhaust so I'm told

[drift-it]

vy calais l67

mace cai (modified to fit 4" intake)
mace 1.9:1 rockers
mace 10psi pulley kit

2.5" twin catback

ran a 15.1 on 6psi with above mods
and a 14.7 on 10psi with above mods

since then have added extractors, high flow cats, tune, 3.46 lsd.
am yet to retest due to the diff clunking i'm pointing my finger at the driveshafts/axles!

[STL17]

I have drive shafts for you bro

[drift-it]

i got the calais to do the clunk on command yesterday, got the missus to drive full lock right while i jumped under the car and held on to the fuel tank and got dragged along (only going like .5kmh) you can see both axle binding up from insided the diff then letting go with a bang at the same time. lsd is fu%^ed i think! im gonna take it out and put the single pegger back in. and source a lsd rebulid kit.

and staying with topic i dont have apower figure yet to go with my 1/4 times but i estimate between 150-170rwkw maybe?

[Jezza]

VY Acclaim

Mods:

Pacemaker extractors into stock cat then to a single 2.5" lukey system
25mm Manifold Spacer

made 111rwkw but i have since got the 82 degree thermostat and the cold air intake so i would say closer to 115-120rwkw now

It could be the fact that the LS has preload on the cones from factory, to prevent it slipping under power and lasting longer, under high load conditions.

As a consequence though it's probably acting like a locker and chattering at low speeds and loads (?)

That's a relatively healthy figure, considering the 25mm manifold insulator doesn't add too much to the peak power (if at all), as they really shine on the bottom to mid range. It's for this reason ecotecs drive noticeably better with them installed under real world conditions.

[Jezza]

i should have also mentioned that it had around 350nm of torque at about 2300rpm

[drift-it]

yer i thought it could be really bad chatter! but it gets a wickid BANG happening. i've got castrol 80/140 xa something something. it states it already has the additive for diff chatter but i think i might add another bottle.

[MACE]

I see. Can try some additional additive, before taking the diff out I guess

If it was diff chatter you would know because the inside wheel would be trying to skip (If the LSD was locking). from the factory the pre-load on the cones/backlash on the spider gears isn't ideal for performance conditions. This is the reason they single peg fairly easily when abused. When you get the LSD rebuilt make sure they fit a decent spring for the cones pre-load and set the spider gear back lash properly, the LSD will last a LOT longer this way.

Being a IRS model car, check the diff mounts as well as this can also cause issues with traction
