All yours to say ...............

there preaty basic really run of crank and recomended that they are geared to run at 4000rpm max so 2 to1 would be safe setup there aim in life is to create a vacumn in the motor instead of preasure which aids in making the rings seal this is where the h/p is picked up from also prevents oil leaks there only draw back is that if to much vacumn is created you will have to run a blead of valve so that around 3merc is obtained to prevent seal damage and lower oil preasure. most good dry sump setups also do same job as the scavange lines create vacumn as well.old toyota motors used them which will work but arnt anywere as good as the purpose built performance ones.so for anyone interested do search on the net and you will find plenty good info on them and pricing if nothing else it will make a good read.

What's wrong the the old fashioned way of running a 45 degree line in the extractors? and sucking the pressure out that way (apart from being epa unhappy:P )

Sucking AND blowing all good for power!!

Anyways, the Raptor kit has its eye in on the ECOTEC on the VY, its wanting to jump in there right now and sink its teeth in

Need to T up the ECU work with Chiptorque which is going to have to wait a bit longer yet as they are moving shop at present time.

Not bad at all can't wait to see what it pulls when the charger goes on (my title maybe under threat)

Sounds like good work from the guys at raptor s/c.. I cant wait to hear more information on this project as progresses. Will you be selling this set up as a kit or is it just a test? I am really interested getting something similar on my car. Keep up the good work.

This will absolutely be a full line kit for Raptor Superchargers, that means yes you can order one (VY V6 kit) anytime after the tuning is complete.

For everybody's information the VS - VT kit is mechanically the same as for the VY, well proven to make big power and reliably. For the VU - VX -VY its all in the tuning.

Tuddles mate

Things are looking good for a challenge but we reckon the auto won't let us have the last few Kw it will take to beat you. All our systems are tuned as best as possible and consequently you will be hard to beat and its not possible to tune any better than we already do

correct, morroso do a performance vacuum pump, but they aren't cheap. if you are going to run one, i'd suggest getting low tension rings as the vacuum pump does the work to seal the rings. some good hp can be made this way. a better option would be to fit a 3/4/5 stage dry sump system but they are big bucks but lots of benefits, especially on high revving holden V8's which tend to pump all the oil into the rocker covers when kept at high revs for a long time

Youre talking about a 'vac-u-pan' system, they work well in the right application. You are correct about emissions PLUS if you have glass pack mufflers, the oil residue can clog up your exhaust. I prefer the dry sump method. Kills two birds with one stone.

Well just one more sleep and we get to test the gains from the rockers at the strip, thunderstorms

are predicted Thursday night but hopefully Friday night is good

Nothing like test and tune to make the rain come down

Facts and figures should be here on Sat morning.

Johnsy · #61 08-11-2006, 10:53 PM

Do you guy's have anything for the 3.6L alloytech ?
As my wagon needs more grunt

And what about LS1's ? after my edit with my sedan i will be looking for more kw's...

Cheers and good luck with the VY

We very certainly have a system for the LS1, expect us to be saying a lot about this in the next 2-3 weeks and we are also switching from trial mode to full production mode for the LS1 kit.

The thread link is here, looks quiet at the moment but not for much longer
