Vn v6 best way to increase performace for p platers

[Stock_Vn_Berlina]

I had a mad idea while i was having morning smoko, what would be the best way to increase performance in a stock vn that is still legal for p-platers, my first thought was, high flow injectors, larger fuel pump and a cold air intake upgrade, any more ideas?
Cheers

wow! what a fantastic and new idea you have had. amazing. weird that no one has ever though of modifying they commodore while still keeping it legal for p-platers.

good for you, good for you

Put a spud in your exhaust...Rev it up, the spud won't let the gasses out so it will build up pressure, when you finally blow the spud out, your mang mang V6 VN will rear up like a drag car and do 0-100 in 4 seconds.

I see you had your morning cup of sarcasm this morning ari....

To the OP, do a bit of a search, I'm sure you will find one or two or 500 threads on this very subject.

Don't waste your time man! Save for a V8.

Increase or decrease performance? Most of that will make your car slower and still be illegal for P platers in Vic.

I saw on another thread like this that changing the diff ratio can increase acceleration and therefore perceived power since the factory one is very tall.

That would be legal for a p plater wouldn't it?

Just put Metho in your fuel tank, that will also make it run like a rocket.

The regulations are very grey on these kind of things but I think you would definitely get away with it. Diff gears and LSD are good mods for p-platers

Some of these ideas cheers as for ari cheers prick some of us don't have a pile of money and i just wanted to get a rough idea of what i could do for some sort of budget and im sure there are others like me that want a little bit of bang for our buck bwfore we can play with decent cars

[undersuspicion]

+1 for avgas mate, make the biatch fly!

for a very short time, then BANG haha

Take out your belmouth/Cold air - run 100mm drainpipe under your airbox/ zaust/ xtractors/ high flow cat/ diff gears/ raise your compression/


better yet drop in an alloytech

[wortus]

Just keep it well maintained and serviced. In my experience a VN motor in good condition has way too much power for the brakng and handling ability of a stock car and can get the inexperienced into all sorts of bother rather quickly. My advice keep it stock apart from say a Lukey high flow exhaust (they look stock), put the money into advanced driving lessons and then go and buy a VY V6 or a V8 when your off your P's

[Stock_Vn_Berlina]

Ive done a driving course when i got my licenec and its maintained fantasticly well as i service it quiet regually, just want to bump up the power a tad before i go buy a wh woth a 5.7 lt

[VN_Luke]

If you really wanna spend money on it, i'd do a manual conversion, slippery diff,
gears and foamy tune.

It won't go any faster but it'll be 50x more fun to drive and legal.

for a very short time, then BANG haha

Just like a rocket...

To the op I have the answer, move to wa and buy a v8. All legal and almost guaranteed to get more performance then a v6

[nathanVY]

Ha, almost?

sorry to be a downer but metho is just 70-80% ethanol these days

Well he never specified for how long he wanted the performance to be increased?

How many K's onthe engine and does it still have good compression etc? It might be worth seeing how much horse power it has lost from new first.
I'd just do the exhaust and keep up the regular service.

people say that theres hundreds of these threads... i say theres millions of these stupid comments to go with them, im sick of seeing the 'save for a v8' comments, when he clearly wants to modify his 6

+1

In any case; alot of people opt for the 3.8; due to its superior weight ratio?

[Stock_Vn_Berlina]

Gud idea wortus i have a mate that can help me out with that vn luke that idea was on the cards allways wanted it to have a manual just for extra kicks

[turmoil117]

Ha, almost?

I read somewhere that the vn v6 had the same amount of power if not more then the OLD v8s that Holden used... Not sure if it's true that's why I said almost. That and a thrashed v8 on it's last legs has to have less power then a good v6.
