Bolt on goal is now in reach!!

**AirStrike** · 20-02-2007, 04:15 PM

Just an update (haven't in along time), car has just realed off 161.9rwkw today, so only 8rwkw to reach my goal!!
Car is internally stock standard with the following mods:
*Pacemaker Extractors
*Twin 2.5" hi flow mettalic cats
*Twin 2.5" exhuast with 2" balance pipe
*VN HSV air box
*YT Billet alloy roller rockers (standard 1.65:1 ratio)

Still running standard tune (going to try the HSV 180 tune soon then a custom one) and standard 10 degrees base timing.
Cheers Dave

Just not into trusting the "Ebay Tunes" yet!!

Still looking for a stock VN V8 Memcal to get "a tune on"

**stocky** · 20-02-2007, 06:18 PM

dont they use a similar memcal setup to a v6? if so, just buy a chip burner

It's not a straight swap, have to modifiy it to suit.

i mean, does the v8 chip still run using an eprom?

**greenfoam** · 20-02-2007, 10:35 PM

Yeah its almost the same stocky, easy as. I'm happy to burn the eproms for the the 180 clubsport tunes with the knock sensor bit disabled or something else a little more sporting that I have ready made and don't need to spend time on for 20 bucks to cover my time and parts posted to you door for the eprom and a machined socket. But I don't want to be annoyed with people asking me how to solder straight or anything like that :P because I have no time to do anything like that anymore and only for the 304 because it makes huge gains froma tune and that makes me happy

**88GreenVN** · 20-02-2007, 11:45 PM

PM sent to Greenfoam

**Murdoch** · 21-02-2007, 10:40 AM

Not a bad effort from the old 5 litre!
Thats up with stock GEN3 results.
Well done, id be happy with it.

**holden007** · 21-02-2007, 11:48 AM

That is pretty good with bolt on mods, keep trying and you'll probably hit 200rwkw.

**immortality** · 21-02-2007, 05:00 PM

nice results for bolt on mods only. you should try the bigger TB and a cooler thermostat. possibly consider an underdriven crank pulley also(not 100% sure they are avail for the 304 holden unfortaunatly). that should definitly get you your extra 8rwkw. no doubt the HSV180 tune can be improved upon. have you tried a external fuel cooler? also a newtiming chain thats adjustable so that you can degree your cam properly should gain something

70mm throttle is on the cards along with my spare manifold I have modded. Not interested in a cooler thermostat for the small gain. As far as I know they dont make an underdrive balancer.

**greenfoam** · 21-02-2007, 10:09 PM

You're still on the stock tune aren't you Airstrike or on the 180?

you could always but an electric water pump on it to get around that issue

**CAM05L** · 25-02-2007, 06:15 PM

**PaRaDoX** · 25-02-2007, 10:10 PM
