Vy Ss raptor charged

[Raptor Charged VX]

Hey.

The car is a 2003 vy Ss series. 2
Auto
2800rpm stall
Boostvavle

Diff
3.46:1 LSD out of a Vz Ss ute

Motor
Stock internals.

Mods so to be
500hp walbro intank pump
42psi injectors
Ase header relocation kit
Heavy duty crow cam valve springs
Raptor v supercharger running 7 psi

At the moment the car is marking 300 rwhp with 567nm of torque just. From a maffles tune and the current exhaust full stainless four into ones with a twin 2.5inch x force The car as ran a 13.1 @ 107mph on 18s

The charger is not yet fitted but will hopefully be on in a week or so.
There will be plenty of photos of the build up as the car has to be ready for power cruise

What's a baffles tune? The charger and other mods haven't really added much power (maybe 40-50rwhp? ) but picked up a bit of torque. Interesting.

The charger hasn't been fitted yet, that power/torque figure was from the mafless tune and other bits.

[Raptor Charged VX]

yes once the charger has been fitted ill be looking at a fair increase in power an torque

My bad, I misread your post, thought the charger was already on. Be good to see how it all goes mate. Good stuff.

[Raptor Charged VX]

Yeah I can't wait I'm hoping for around 450 hp at the Tyres on stock cam

The SS is going again after 3 days of being to lazy to fill it back up with coolant .. the header relocation tank from ASE is very well worth its money and simple install, \
car seems to run fine and not get hot,

hopefully the charger will be on its way soon ..

[one_and_only2004]

Very exciting stuff! do you have the charger yet?

[Raptor Charged VX]

not yet julian, i think tim is a bit busy atm the moment will wait it out.

Freaking terrific, exactly the thread we need going forward.

Any better close up pics of the ASE relocator tank and words on whats involved in installing it would make a great little post as well since its a required part of the charger kit install.

Will get the bracket drilled today and maybe start a new charger for this item as well, exciting unit really.

RCVX - feel free to detail this whole deal as much as you like, this ground breaking for the wider community even tho we already have a kit or 2 floating around out there.

For those wanting intercooler to suit the Raptor LS1 kit, be sure to ask RCVX for a quote, he will be the exclusive supplier of LS1 intercooler kits to match the Raptor charger for all Sth East Qld


The ph pics are a great start but I might need some really clear ones, if you got a camera and can email good ones for threads, adds and install pics would be awesome

[Raptor Charged VX]

yeah sure thing tim, will get an album together and some more detailed pics..

[Raptorsc]

OK, here is the ASE header tank kit image to kick the show off

[Raptor Charged VX]

fuel pump and injectors go in this weekend.. charger will be mounted and cooler will be plumbed up,

[Raptorsc]

You should nearly have mail already -

What sort of figures are you expecting to see (rwkw and torque)?

[Raptor Charged VX]

im hoping for 300rwkw plus.. keeping in mind the motor is completey stock at the moment, valve springs will be the first internal mod, but being realistic this kit is gonna be the best bang for buck combo, really if you want a huge 600 hp monster you need to look into the bigger brands . but the simplicity of the install is just a winner.

[Raptorsc]

The base kit with no intercooler gives (around 280rwkw potential) $3700

The base kit with no intercooler but with injectors is $4200

The intercooler kit is around $1400 (to be confirmed) (Potentially allowing 320rwkw)

For around $5600 you can have an intercooled 7psi system - compare this with other centrifugal systems and see the value being put forward here

Any LS1 Commodore owner wanting to run 9psi plus should consider a side mount Vortech or a valley mount Harrop, these are HEAPS more expensive but will easily work in the higher boost range. Anyone wanting 14psi plus should consider turbocharging only, something from ASE or the likes is good for this.

The system is easy to install and easy to remove, minimal effort, all easy DIY. On a scale of difficulty to install the Raptor system would be 2/10, a valley mount charger would be 8/10 by comparison. A turbokit is often more difficult again and would require you to have a hoist to access the underside of the engine/car.

[Raptor Charged VX]

OK its here
a weekend of fun begins

[wikky]

They sound like a great entry level setup. Look forward to seeing the results and hearing some feedback once a few of these kits are installed. Nice work.

[one_and_only2004]

This is starting to look very very interesting!!

Is the Raptor V bigger in size than the Raptor R?

[Raptor Charged VX]

that there is the raptor V the raptor R is bigger

[Raptor Charged VX]

Every bit of the install will be photographed ! there pics show the ASE header relocation tank

[Raptorsc]

One thing for sure the RCVX is in over drive right at this moment, pushing on like there is no tomorrow

Metal being cut and shaped, pipe routing being planned, pics being taken & much much more

[Raptor Charged VX]

Picked this up on the way home will be mounted tomorrow
