Upgrading

[richest2010]

I got a sedan VL, has anyone changed the throttle body to a bigger one? If so any change or Nar?

Uhhhhh from memory someone mentioned using an xf t.b. or some shit, can't remember if it helped performance wise.

Edit: Apparently there's no difference,

Here's the link:

XF Throttle Body Swap

There is a bit of difference, but it is not huge, it's more so for the turbo's.
it can help with pod filter, extractors and a 2 1/4inch exhaust.

no offence if the vl is a stock rb30 job, why bother?

Cuz I wanna get the most out of a p plate legal car

hey bud, exept for an exhaust (which i suggest a single 2.5in with a set of headers and a decent muffler) the best trick with an N/A rb30 is to advance the timing belt 1 tooth, i used to do this with all my N/A vl's and it does make a difference, also get a set of diff gears, you can get a set of 4.11s from a nissan pintara and the crown wheel and pinion bolt stright up to a vl

that should wake it up a bit

Doesnt understand the point of doing mods to a "P Plate Legal" car...which would then make it illegal???

But, if you really must.

Does adjusting the timing hurt the car at all, though? It's like, it's an NA, last thing you want to do is have the humiliation of destroying it

You're going outside the factory specs of a 25 year old car. There's always the possibility. Eg. Melted pistons

Skipping one tooth is supposedly 7 degrees..and have read its bad for the motor - too far advanced
using an adjustable timing gear you can adjust up to 4 degrees


Also ram some 90/100mm drain pipe from under the airbox and you'll have the cheapest and best flowing VL CAI on the market

Ebay chip FTW lmao
