Hey all im Nicko! i have a vy v6 5speed! i hear people saying they got their 6 dyno'd and alot of people with ecotecs getting from 100 -110kw with multiple bolt ons! now i only have pacemaker headers, exhaust and panel filter and mine read 125kw! is this a misprint or am i just lucky???

Cheers

p.s ill get my scanner and post the dyno sheet at work!

Sounds about right, a VN V6 stock standard is around 100rwkw, so a vy with pacemakers and exhaust + panel filter (K&N), should be making that, although it could be a happy dyno, but echotecs respond more from breather mods than the old buick.

oh ok! i just wasnt expecting the claimed power increase from pacemakers and k&N to be accurate!

dont wanna burst ur bubble man but i reckon thats a happy dyno. ud might be able to get that with rockers or somthing but probably not with just an exhaust. or maybe u have a freak of an engine but i doubt it man

yeah i was abit suss! ill wait for dyno number 2 i think!

nicko · #6 10-06-2008, 05:55 PM

i live in the happy dyno state, my STOCK 5 speed vt pulled 123.9rwkw! Im not sure whats funnier, the fact i managed to pull 123 from a stock 6 or the fact that i only have 123kw

nicko451 · #7 10-06-2008, 05:59 PM

only 123?? in a stock v6 thats heaps!

nicko · #8 10-06-2008, 06:04 PM

yeh i no 123 is heaps but its not correct. im saying that having 123kw is lame as no matter what car you have

johnvtls1 · #9 10-06-2008, 06:06 PM

i pulled 123 with cam exhaust tune and port and polished heads. my gas mixer was costing me around 10-15 kws i was told by my tuner but thats just to give u a rough figurer.

nicko451 · #10 10-06-2008, 06:06 PM

lol ive always had **** cars! 123 is good for me! althought dads clubby was all go!

your dyno figure is higher to alot of other peoples figures simply due to your VY being a manual and has less drivetrain loss. most people have auto's and this affects how much power ends up at the wheels - i would say that the figure is about spot on.
123rwkw is about 164rwhp, stock post VX ecotecs (slightly more power than pre VX) will pull anywhere around the 150rwhp mark. so with extractors and zort, 164rwhp is about right.

too shey...

nicko451 · #13 10-06-2008, 07:38 PM

yeah true its like 17% loss for manual and 22% for autos am i correct?

sircruisealotVS · #14 10-06-2008, 09:45 PM

well its not that black and white - but yeah, autos have more drivetrain loss, mainly due to the torque converter chewing up some of the power (well - torque actually...lol).
