Stockys VN

[stocky]

well good news. getting a complete exhaust setup this wednesday. brand new extractors, 2.5 inch catback, one muffler and dual tips. costing me about 5-600 all up

[Phoenix21]

sounds good mate can't wait ta see it again one day

[stocky]

quick update -
- installed my gauges today. boost and oil pressure
- level 3 dash is out because its damaged. level 1 back in until i find a vp calais/vq stato dash
- getting intercooler soon
- looking for a smaller pulley for the charger
- next step is colour coding the black strips, and i found a the chrome strip thats missing from my front bumper

[R Photon]

i usually think that any additional gauges on a commodore looks ridiculous (mainly huge rev counter tachos) but that actually looks half decent..nice job dude

also who did you get your exhaust done? 5-600 sounds like a sweet deal for what you got.

[stocky]

slowly progressing

[VRSS]

hey stocky your car is awesome i had no idea you had this much work done to it..
cant wait to see what it looks like with the intercooler will look very tough.
also keep the rims they suit your car and make it look different to all the other white vn's getting around

[stocky]

update. got the cooler installed. pipings been sprayed in pacemaker blue

[PaRaDoX]

looks sick man, hahah ill have to give you a run again before boost... you'll probbly beat me again....

just wait till mid week....

[HoZy]

He needs more boost... My ecotec VN's quicker lol

I want to see this thing at 8-10psi!!!!!!!!

Cheers
MaT

[stocky]

soon enough. gotta find someone that can make me a pulley first

[stocky]

couple of new pics

[Frandy]

beast lol, looks nice, was the 'cooler too much trouble ot install??

[Phoenix21]

crap man you've done so much since i last saw it lookin good

[HoZy]

Needs the Modified airbox back on & 10psi... Harder valve springs etc...

Otherwise you will get valve bounce...

gonna get valve springs soon. my brothers trying to find me a new pulley at the moment. was round here today getting measurements for it, so i should have one very soon hopefully. 10psi im going for, and i doubt ill be able to get my airbox back on. i want the throttle body to go before the charger, so there just wont be enough room for the airbox. looks like im gonna have to go with enclosed pod filter and possible air intake underneath the car.

[cracker]

bit of shielding around the pod more boost but i think ud strugle to bounch the springs?wouldnt want to take it past 5500 anyway would you?
how do these crs chargers go never driven one? how much power? like at 3psi and 8psi

[Jo3_Blo]

Loving your car Stocky. Also, do you have any recordings of the sound when the car was running with the exhaust in two bits? And what does it sound like now with the new exhasut? And any pics?

[flyen]

thats a neat set up mate
10 psi sounds fun

[theVNkid]

Hey dude, nice VN. Have you had this thing dynoed?

What kind of gains did the supercharger make?

[stocky]

Hey dude, nice VN. Have you had this thing dynoed?

What kind of gains did the supercharger make?

well because its intercooled it only gets about 2 psi max, and i lose power from the charger because it runs by a pulley. at the moment id say its around 110rwkw. it still chirps into second very easily and today in the wet it was wheel spinning with very little throttle while turning or changing gear.
im not gonna dyno it until i have my 10 psi pulley, which should be made next week. ive signed up for the street commodores dyno day in may so ill post up results of that when i have them.

after the new pulley, i think ill get new diff gears with lsd, fix up the paintwork and body a bit, and that SHOULD be the end of major modifications

[stocky]

oh yeah ive got my VS CAI back on. sounds so much better and goes better. make the engine bay look much tidier. no more rough idle, no more sucking noise, and i can hear the charger whining now.

[HoldenManDan]

Hey stocky, your ride has come a long way since i last looked!
Another interesting custom job with the crs supercharger, it's got the makings of IBLOWN now!
How much did the cooler + piping set you back? I've heard it not nearly as expensive for the crs charger compared to others...
Have you been running it on PULP? Is it absolutely necessary to run on pulp with any kind of forced induction? I thought it was, until i saw a guy filling up his fully sic rex with normal ulp. ??

Looking forward to seeing how she goes with that 10psi pulley

hey thanks. cooler cost me 100, and piping plus a full days labour to fit it cost me 300. very happy with the price. ive been running 95 RON in it lately, but when its running 10psi, ill use 98.
