ECOTEC V6 kits VS - VY

[djaa]

I'll be using Yella Terra or FIT rockers.

Does the kit come with the second valve? What else is neccessary to complete the job other than what is supplied in the kit (intercooled kit, I know you don't supply the IC piping, is there anyhting else not supplied)? Can you supply the valves?

Cheers

I believe the VT - VT all much the same weight, the VT was the first of the wider body type after the VS and continued on to VZ.

I will give you a torque figure again soon when I give the rollers a spin. Used to be around 475Nm on the engine at 9psi, should be nicely into the 500's now

wow! there some impressive figures for the ol'V6!!

keep up the good work!

RAPTR6, Hi I asked twice know and you still haven't answered my most important question before I buy a Raptor SC.

"Does the kit come with everything I need to complete the job? If not what else is needed?" (I know you don't supply IC piping, is there anything else not supplied in the intercooled kit?)

Cheers

[Raptorsc]

Djaa

Very sorry, everything EXCEPT the pipework is included with the intercooled kit, you add the pipes I supply all the dual BOV etc etc.

$5500 for that package.

[djaa]

Cheers mate, be ringing shortly.

[calibud85]

can you send me prices too please

[Raptorsc]

Calibud

For the VS

$4990 for complete kit in Stage 1 (not intercooled)

[Willow96]

Do you guys have a reseller in Townsville that will fit and tune the kit for me?

[Ray De Man]

Hi raptorsc, can I have the prices for stage 1. Am I right in saying this fits straight onto a standard 3.8 v6, it doesn't have to be the already fitted SC models? Will the engine be strong enough as its sitting @ 170k at the mo?

[Raptorsc]

Ray

Yep its for the non supercharged engine, fits directly on.

For VX its $5300 for the full kit, includes computer modification.

That is low enough ks, not seeing any problem there

[Ray De Man]

Ok cool, i'll get saving then...

Oh another quick Q, do I need to change the injectors and fuel pump?

[Raptorsc]

Ray

We supply the big injectors in the kit price, the fuel pump is generally perfectly ok as is

[vtjoey]

Hi there...just wondering if you could give me pricing for the super street kit to suit VT wagon. And what engine mods are recommended to handle this kit??

Cheers

[Raptorsc]

VTJOEY

The superstreet is the high end of ProStreet Intercooled, runs 12.5psi and dual atmo venting blow off valves. One valve is BOSCH the other is turbosmart valve with SC spring modified.

I would recommend you get a custom tune for it, you have some good tuners in Perth.

Will PM price

[psivyv6]

hey just wondering if anyone knows the part number for the turbosmart bov and spring used in super street system and can i use a GFB BOV?

[Raptorsc]

Tyry this info

GFB is not compatible with any Raptor charger

Here is the turbosmart info, we used the 32mm

Part Numbers (Blue):
FG-BOV-003PB25 – (25mm outlet), FG-BOV-003PB29 – (29mm outlet), FG-BOV-003PB32 – (32mm outlet),
FG-BOV-003PB34 – (34mm outlet), FG-BOV-003PB38 – (38mm outlet)

Part Numbers (Sleeper):
FG-BOV-003PB32-S – (32mm outlet), FG-BOV-003PB34-S – (34mm outlet), FG-BOV-003PB38-S – (38mm outlet)

[Raptor Charged VX]

hey , i just intercooled my raptor charged vx.. it was running awsome the two valves were working fine. then all off a sudden it stoped gettin boost, it drove exactly like a NA motor.. ???

[Raptorsc]

Well, welcome to intercooling 101!!

Of course the blower internal belt has snapped, but why so suddenly and so soon after the intercooler installed??

Compressor surge is the reason and you are so lucky the blower has an internal belt which protects the compressor wheel from damage.

There will be at least 1 major thing not right with your set up and maybe more so you best email me and we sort it out.

This is the old Tuddles blower right, you got it second hand? Sounds like it .......

[psivyv6]

hey guys did u sort this out coz i was fitting my intercooler today and set up is very similar, dont want to make the same problem occur?

[Raptorsc]

We had a discussion and for sure we worked it out.

The system constructed by RC VX is a work of art but more prone than usual to compressor surge and the 2 BOSCH valves can't take it on this one.

So he will now go to the 32mm Turbosmart valve modified for Raptor operation which should (based on our latest research) eliminate the problem.

He indicated his IC system had 0 pressure loss, he 10psi before the intercooler went on the vehicle and still has 10psi. He described the power gain as "very impressive"

RC VX you are welcome to tell about the difference your cooler made to power and how you tested it

[psivyv6]

oh this sounds good, so is there any signs i can look for to know if mine will do the same thing? jst so i can try 2 fix the prob before needing a belt?

[Raptor Charged VX]

the blow off valves wont sound clean ie, they should sound like a one nice quick big gush of air, before mine broke they sounded a little bit like they had turbo shutter like a high pitched squeally noise, stop driving if you get that, i have gone straight to the big 38mm BOV really nice valve too,

and to Tim yes the power was remarkable, i still only have an open centre and it held both wheels right up to 4th frying before it started to move down the road, and the car is still running a base tune,, yet to be dynoed

[immortality]

how is the turbosmart BOV spring modified to suit the raptor? would be keen to see how this zero loss IC system is set up

[Raptor Charged VX]

immortality,

there is another thread about my car if you want to check it out, i will get more detailed pics of it all soon,
