ECOTEC V6 kits VS - VY

For you the twin throttle pose a huge problem since as you say there is no tuning facility in AS or anywhere in the NT for that matter than can handle the twin throtts. I also dont have a tune file for blower + twin throts and it might be fair to say that no one does. I could handle it here in Qld as a custom job no problem if you want to go with the twin throtts but somehow I suspect that is not an option....... or is it?

It could be an option if I could have a reliable way of trasnporting the car there, having it worked on and then transported back. I'm just really interested to know how having the twin throttles fitted would affect overall tuning and power levels, either in a positive or negative outcome. Where abouts are you in QLD? This could give me an excuse to holiday over that way and get some serious work sorted.

Those images are perfect. I might move those posts into the VS -VY thread a bit later on also.

Will research how its all going to fit for you

Hey mate,
Just wanted to check if you would like some measurements for the TTB. Would it make it easier for you to investigate whether it will fit or not?

News or bragging, depends on what the content is


Lastest information on the final round of dyno days for Street Commodores dyno days.


Cars with Raptor kits have taken out the trophys in 3 states in the competition, only NSW and VIC didn't have winning Raptor pressurised cars.

As it stands for 2007 - Street Comms dyno days V6 forced induction classes.

Qld - Brisbane - Tuddles 187 rwkw (normally 215+) VS ute manual ProStreet kit (dyno reading incorrectly due to damage) Edited

SA - Adelaide - Slyder/Chargd6 219 rwkw VU ute auto ProStreet kit

WA - Perth - Hoff 216 rwkw VX sedan Auto ProStreet intercooled


Hoff normally can make around 230rwkw but installation of new valvetrain components only a couple of days prior to running in event provided some issues. Issues being valve train noise being detected by knock senors and computer reducing timing because it thought it was seeing detonation ....... which it wasn't.

So, all in all congratulations to our customers who confidently took their cars/utes and competed successfully. Being reliable and consistant is what gets them over the line even tho there are more powerful combos out there, in some instances particularly this last week I knew of turbo and highly supercharged V6s that could have showed and stolen the glory but engine failure just a few weeks/days prior to the event took them out.

Better clear this up I won the QLD Street Comms Dyno Day with 250rwhp on a damaged dyno it should have been 290+rwhp.

Also ute is out of action for awhile no4 piston that was damaged after last dyno run final let go friday night lucky it was not in brissy.

So have new toy coming and will work out what am doing.

[Raptorsc]

More Raptor power being experienced ......... this time with a stroker

cruisies vs

[Raptorsc]

And yet another one, this one had a tame day at 289rwhp ...... more normally 315-325rwhp

Just can't get enough of this lol like a drug

Any questions you are welcome to field them here or through the PM

[s_ikari2015]

G'day, I'm just after rough pricing (cause I'm broke right now) on a stage 1 kit for a VT V6 auto, including an estimate of freight to Western Australia... Cheers.

[CHEFAI]

crazy kits, have read up on them and have spoken to tim. tempting but i have to sell up

[vr_owner]

u know u want to, get one with an intercooler, and twin throttles.

[Raptorsc]

Something for peeps who visit east cost utes forum or Street Com, check out the VY ute "Wildfire" as featured in 2nd last issue of Street Cs.

[vr_owner]

hey tim what would you think about a twin throttle body manifold, on the opposite side to where its located now. could be some fun.. how much power you think with a tune could be possible from it.

[Raptorsc]

Give it a go, you have the Raptor tuner there in Epping so once you get it on he could make it all good for you, you would be first to try and I think the manifold the other way around could be a good thing. Check wit h MACE for something like you want and see what they have to say.

Check with Steve and tell him Tim from Raptor sent you

[speedracer006]

I have a VT, and am also lookin at a stage 1.5?

[vr_owner]

Mate that is awesome, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction when customers listen to the advice (that is proven to work) and end up having a great supercharging experience. Top work on the cooler install etc, the car should rock

just curious, if i put a stage 1 kit on a ecotec that will only have minor engine work like an exhaust, better intake and a few other small things will it be too powerful when it comes 2 the victorian P plater rule of nomore then 125kw per ton, this would be in a wh statesman???? and could i get a price on the stage 1 kit

[Raptorsc]

crazzyboy

I think the whole thing is simpler than that isn't it, in your age bracket you are allowed no supercharger at all, is that correct?

If it had to be <125kw per ton then I could organise that no problem.

Looking forward to your reply

[crazzyboy_16]

in vic if you got your licence before july 1st last year you can drive any v8, turbo or supercharged car aslong as the power to weight ratio doesnt exceed 125kw per ton... if a standard v6 statesman weighs 1678kg (as the specs stated) i can put a supercharger on it aslong as the power doesnt exceed 205kw and i therefore cum under the 125kw per ton bracket....

is that rwkw or flywheel. cause the raptor hanging off my brother car is about 240fwkw and ill be able to say how much the intercooler will bump it up power wise

[crazzyboy_16]

im not sure at all whether its off the flywheel or at the wheels i dont think it says anywhere on the vicroads site.....can any1 on here shed some light???
