ECOTEC V6 kits VS - VY

[Raptorsc]

The VT V6 kits have been the biggest mover of late.

One customer in FNQ cranked out 190rwkw on a hot Cairns morning last week with no cooler and don't believe he even had high lift rockers, he was very pleased ...... all good

[vs-6]

wrong section

[Raptorsc]

Today we have started experimentation with a 14psi pulley on a VS V6 with intercooler, we are going to monitor that and see how the reliability goes and what supporting mods are needed. For now we will use 2 x 32mm BOV and check the system stability at this pressure.

sounds good, ill b keen for one of these, doesn't proflow's vs v6 turbo car run 19psi? and thats only with some rockers, i wonder how long that lasted

[Raptor Charged VX]

hopefully longer than it first launch

[Tadgh]

keen as, you going to try 14psi with the VLC too? If not i will

[Raptor Charged VX]

one my motor has done 200 000 ill be more than happy to run a 16 psi pulley

[Raptorsc]

Everything becomes safer with VLC, its the one option that does allow more compressor speed with mechanical safety

In saying that we could run 14psi on a 3.8 it will be less on a 4.2 stroker as it naturally takes a few more RPM from the SC to fill them up anyway

[psivyv6]

sounds like there "MAY" be some sorry ecotecs coming up lol

[fabz]

I want 14psi now! Can i do it tim?

[Raptorsc]

Fabz

Our testing started today, would you like us to test it first and see if its all hassle free?

We would rather be the guinea pigs when it comes to increasing the supercharger speed, than anyone else.

sounds like there "MAY" be some sorry ecotecs coming up lol

the wreckers are overflowing with em so it doesn't really mater too much

[fabz]

can you keep me in the loop tim and when you feel its the right time give me a call or pm me your thoughts, keep in mind my ecotec has only 140k on it. Also keen to look at a 4" intake set up to so i can get some ideas. Cheers

14psi is getting full on. the difference with the turbo car that ran 19psi is that they get to turn it down lol.

it will be interesting to see if they the old ecotec will hold up

[fabz]

14psi would only be like 11-12 psi in the manifold? I have seen a few ecotecs (turbo) in 15psi on standard engines, they seem fine so might be possible

[Raptorsc]

The VS was showing 13psi in the manifold yesterday. Needs a massive retune now, thrown the tune to the doghouse after 4900rpm. Just way too much change

[Raptor Charged VX]

vs would be easy to tune . i hear mr Tudman still is kalmaker chip that was puttin out 300 at the wheels for him.

[ADDICTVY]

13psi isnt to bad.

[vs-6]

that proflow ecotec is actually an L67 bottom end with a ecotec plenum thrown on and 14psi would be nuts would probablly be better to try on older motors that have lost a bit of compression over time or on a motor built for it

[ADDICTVY]

well if you do blow it up try to get it on video lol.

[Raptor Charged VX]

yes it will be interesting

[Raptorsc]

Here is the video of the VS intercooled 13psi (manifold) system

Check out the general system design, this is a custom install and cannot be purchased as a system from Raptor but check out the BOV location, size of intake, placement of AFM and much more

looks very good, im off to test an tune tomorrow night. pretty sure my gearbox or clutch is on the way out so i want to get a run in before it goes

[ADDICTVY]

the pipe work is nice. So want to hear it lol

[Raptorsc]

Nice little ECOTEC getting a custom tune at Electronic Automotive today, has a custom cam (ie not stock) and Raptor non intercooled kit, made 190rwkw at 5000rpms, Tim stopped there due to something weird with the airflow meter or similar, will like to see what this little item can do at 6000rpm. Its basically 30rwkw ahead of where it should be at that revs.

If I ever get the answer I will let you all know.

Its in a VY
