SV6 VE Mods/Add-ons for more KW's, what have you done?

[DJ-Bolan]

hey all, i'm planning on getting a VE SV6 ute very soon.

Just wanting to know what is the best value for money VE's mods for manual ute (work for family business).

Let me know what you have done, what you've gotten out of it and what's been effected.

Erh, i want a lot of power mods to boost the kw's, already planning on getting 4" dump pipes, tune (got a tuner mate) and cams done. What else can I do?

What is some cheap effective ways to get more kw's without effecting restrictions for a P plater (red)?

But please throw in some advice for nill restriction drivers as well. I don't mind if some are against the law (for P plates) but are hidden (i,e bore heads) etc.

I'm a newbie to this forum but I'm not too new to cars. play nice.

I just sold my 1984 Nissan 300zx so obvious gotta join a new forum.

Cheers.

4 inch dump pipe...fully sick!

[a.critta]

Airhammer is the way go for your intake + full exhaust (i say twin 2.5"). Got that on mine and love it! (sounds good and goes harder!)

[bonners]

Unfortunately in the 6 your options aren't as endless as those of us with the 6.0L. But I am keen to see how you go. A young mate of mine wants to do the same as you and I would be interested to see what results you get

Good luck

Vehicles – You must not drive any vehicle with:
Eight or more cylinders (except Diesel).
A turbocharged or supercharged engine (diesel powered engines exempt).
Modifications that increase engine performance.
Any other vehicle identified by the RTA – further details available on the RTA website.

How ####ing hard is it to get this part through the head of P - Plate drivers? Im sure there was an eye test when i got my license, so i know it's not through blindness that they're not seeing this part of the rules. Maybe common sense and comprehension arent being taught anymore in our school systems?

I mean...god damn, how hard is it to read that sentence and understand what it means? Every ####ing week some retard hops on here herp derping about what they can do to there car, while getting around the law.

Rules are made to be broken, get off your high horse mate! let him do what he wants he should be getting advice here not being shut down!

I have Xforce 2.25" not loud but very good sound does make noise when you put your foot down...
Airhammer/Growler intake

Airhammer- More power
Growler - Better sound.....
I have both haha.... Airhammer to the Growler box so it sounds wicked with the power gain!

Tune would be good idea.... im getting mine done shortly
Smaller diff ratio as well will help if you want to go further.....

Headers and highflow cats are an option however they sound a bit average.... having said that i have not heard a SIDI motor with headers or cats in the flesh.... so it may be a different story!

[Jarp]

I reckon it sounds much better with the extractors. I did a 30 second in car vid thru a twisty section other day if anybody interested in the in-cab sound I'll throw it on u-tube. Also did a new 0-100....unfortunately now the 3.7 diff in have to change to 3rd at about 90km/h so still takes about 7 seconds to 100 but 0-90 is 6 seconds. Go the diff change though!

Yep, that about sums up the attitude of P Platers these days.

Herp a Derp, mate that's a pathetic attitude. Go and fix it if you ever want a scrap of intelligence.

FFS at this mother ####ing question. There are no performance enhancing modifications that are LEGAL on P Plates...to be 100% legal, the car has to be 100% driveline stock. PERIOD.

In terms of mods, there are plenty of threads about, I suggest doing a search and having a read through them.

[LachieSV6]

Im on P's never been pulled over in my commodore and its definately not standard........ i dont drive like a hero so i think that is a big detterent for cops..... and i dont drive it like i stole it because it acheives nothing around town.... just get caught at the next lights, and its expensive flogging cars!

i just love the way mine has a good note and rides well.... my comment about rules are made to broken is childish however it sh!ts me how as soon as every young driver starts modifying their car they are considered to be a hoon when there are drivers out there who just appreciate a nice sports car to drive around!

Well, you got the childish comment bit right.

So, you say that there are "drivers out there who just appreciate a nice sports car to drive around." What the hell is wrong with the car the way the factory built it while you are still learning to drive? It has nearly 200 kw and 6 speeds, 18's, good seats, not bad for a beginner driver. Hell of a lot nicer than my first car - probably even nicer than my 20th car that I'm driving now.

The only reason that P platers want to modify their cars illegally, is to do illegal things with them. You don't like it - tough, but the law is actually intended to save you from yourself, not to make your life sad.

[LachieSV6]

im fine with myself....... i know my limits. i dont exceed them.......i dont try to..... im only standing up for myself. cos i dont do burnouts or need to save myself from my own behaviour... i need to watch out every other turkey on the road.

I love my car as standard it was standard for 6 months... Cars are my passion i like fiddling and modifying.... it looks good and i like being different.... the performance gain is only minimal. and im looking for driveability which i have... i dont know why im justifying myself on a Car forum........

if i'm paying for the car, i can pretty much do whatever i want to it. so you're telling me you've never done any illegal things in your life? not even once? bullcock. even though those rules were set in place for others safety. so don't be a hypocrite.

if i want to be a herp derping and i quote "retard" i'll just get a turbo exemption as my cousin did and get a "fully sik" xr6 turbo. (family sign business - need to tow cranes) and obviously a 6 in 1st or second could barely pull a 2 tonne crane without staining the #### out of the engine. and power mods only work if you want them to work.

so shush with your negativity.

You got bagged out because your original question asked what Performance Enhancing Modifications can you do to your car, regardless of being Illegal, and wanting one's that won't be seen. There is herp a derp right there mate, if your going to modify your car, chances are something will be illegal in some way shape or form, it's a given. But you want yours so that you can get around your license requirements when for once, the Government introduced a law that point blankly stated itself 'NO PERFORMANCE ENHANCING MODIFICATIONS'

Go ahead and modify your car so it's more powerful mate, by all means. But don't feed us the bullshit about wanting it to be hidden and to get around your license requirements. Modify your car? Be prepared to accept the consequences, primarily due to your license conditions. We've had a million and 1 kids come here and ask the same question, and they cop the same flak as you just did.

Get an exemption when you don't need one? Yeah go ahead and dodge the system, you get caught, you get ####ed.

I disagree with the laws, but you got to deal with them mate, unless your writing letter to your MP about why they're a bad law. Just sit back and deal with it.

/End Rant.

[LachieSV6]

lol ....... im just waiting for the:

"Wait until you get a V8" comment to come along....

I've heard your car. It sounds like a wet fart.

if i'm paying for the car, i can pretty much do whatever i want to it.

Nice logic "Sorry Mr Policeman, i bought this gun, so i can shoot whoever i want with it"

so you're telling me you've never done any illegal things in your life? not even once? bullcock. even though those rules were set in place for others safety.

Yes, i will admit that i stole a redskin from K-Mart once from the big Lolly Tubs, and the safety of all the other redskins was put at jeopardy, you're right. naughty me.

so don't be a hypocrite.

Im not the one asking on a public forum how to break the law?

Whatever you need to do to get your fully sick 4 inch dumped exhaust i guess

so shush with your negativity.

Negativity? It's reality mate.

[Calaber]

Nah, no "get a V8" comments from me. He can kill himself with his modded V6 just as easily.

To the OP. You come onto the forum and ask people for advice on how to break the law. Why wouldn't you cop crap from us? And yeah, we probably did illegal things in our early days. The difference is, we didn't ask for advice how to do it on the internet.

[LachieSV6]

When have you heard my car cheif? i dont know you from a bar of soap....

[RUF-60L]

hey its all well and good to not be a hoon or whatever when ur on ur Ps but if u get into an accident, whether its ur fault or not, when the insurance company assesses ur car this is how the convo will go

"ok so lets see whats damaged here, hmm air intake...exhaust (whatever size it is) ok that can be fixed....hmmmm i see ur on ur Ps"

"yes"

*assessor tears up paper and walks away*

(obviously it wouldnt go exactly like that, but the end result would be the same)

if ur willing to take the risk good luck to u

[GEN3RATD]

Erh, i want a lot of power mods to boost the kw's, already planning on getting 4" dump pipes, tune (got a tuner mate) and cams done.

excuse me?

[LachieSV6]

lol 4" why????? Thats probably going to cost you power.....

[RUF-60L]

lol 4" why????? Thats probably going to cost you power.....

[GEN3RATD]

When have you heard my car cheif? i dont know you from a bar of soap....

Your car sounds the same as every other VE SV6 with a 2.25" XForce on it.

[GEN3RATD]

but "it sounds almost like a V8"
