getting more torque off the line in an ecotec?
what would the best suited mod for this be besides dif gears? ive done a bit of reading and it looks like perhaps new roller rockers or a cam ( either of which i know bugger all about ) , so which is cheaper and which gives the best low end torque result , extra KW is nice aswell.
Your freedom ends where mine begins
If you after torque from a ecotec, then I would say you would need to be looking into a CAM.
Rockers are great as they give a little bit extra all through the rpm range, but if you want big torque down low (without having to add 2 cylinders) a cam would be the best way to acheive that.
Then gears. That's my opinion.
I'm I'm assuming you've already done the CAI and a full exhaust before looking at rockers or a cam right?
Do the diff gears. I wouldn't bother camming an ectotec. You're better off either putting the money towards a turbo/supercharger or a V8.....
yep done all of the basics, cai , chip , stractors, zorst , shift kit.
i do a fair bit of highway driving and it allready drinks so i dont think i want too do diff gears.
kind of thinking that aswell , starting fresh with an 8 but its just hard too have all the money at the same time if you know what i mean.Originally Posted by Thomas1

I'm saying the Ford 6 is better than the Holden 6. If you want low-end torque and a better all-round motor, it's something to think about.

he is right mate, the Ford 6's shit on the Holden v6's, however the Holden v8 shit on Ford V8's
Kiss my coight
+1, but holdens are still cool as.
Id go diff gears champ, 3.7 really doesnt change the fuel consumption that much and if you want a little better just go for the 3.4. Deffinatly gives you a big punch off the lines, im sure everyone with it done will tell you the same thing. Second best would have to be roller rockers. Mace engineering sell 1.98 ratio rockers i think they are an they made a massive difference when i had an NA. Or if you really want torque, supercharge!

The ford 6 'may' be a good engine but the rest of the car is a bucket of shit
VR Buicks > You ;)
Their 4.0L V6's definitely are not very quick until the BA's which are quick indeed in comparison to our ecotecs and buicks =[

lol V6 ford falcon
ive just grabbed an EB Fairlane Ghia and i have to say they are far more refined than my last VR Acclaim.
but on the talk or torque, maybe look into an injector upgrade. not in 'cc' but injector type. for performance the falcon i6 injectors will get it running better. they have a better spray pattern and they will go straight in since its all bosch. Dr. Rob drag racer will back me up on this one.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but i did enjoy driving a slightly tickled XR6 turbo not long ago..Says the guy shouting "heathen!"
I just dont like "F's" because they are a straight 6, they may be torquey, but prefer my good ol' dunnydore.
Its allll personal preference, like blondes or brunettes
