my creation of a vr v6

[aussie 94 vr]

hay all well i just bought a 94 VR V6 SII for $300.00 (surprising i know).
but this is whats going to happen over this year...

the motor is on its way (450.000 k) out. i have a VX ecotech V6 waiting for me in werrbie.
128.000k on the clock having 30thou oversize pistons placed in plus an stage2 cam kit put though.
extractors, cat back 4 1/2 exhaust made up.
70mm thottle body placed on (that's 15mm larger the 5.0L R8 club sport thottle body).
an R8 body kit built to match.
resprayed in British racing green.
details of body kit will be gray.
higher pressure injector rail and injectors.
quad core radiator.
holly blue racing fuel pump.
roller rocker serspention kit.(as ive been told that was the name i think)
2006 VY guard blinkers molded in the VR guards.
and a 5 speed manual box.

if you have any suggestions on what else i should do or if i need extras with the mods ive got your advice will be appreciated.

thanks from shane..

ps before and after pics will be posted soon

hmmm where do i start...

-4 1/2 inch exhaust? are you serious?
-70mm throttle body is not 15mm bigger than a v8 one. and there was no 5 litre R8
-higher pressure injector rail and injectors.....why?
-roller rocker suspension kit...are you sure this isnt meant to be two seperate items? and police suspension is just FE2

[aussie 94 vr]

the roller rocker supention kit is in the new police veicles, i was told to get that kind of exhust in anuther post, higher presure injector rail and injectors was to sute the holly blue fuel pump and thats what i got told about the throttle body by a mate thats done the same thing to his v8 ute

[aussie 94 vr]

i didn't ask for sarcasm just advice oh and by the way i have dyslexia for you all to know ( its a reading and writing diserbility OK ) thanks for the insults...

its nice to know that some people on here are considerate (sarcasm)

for starters Ive rethought some things and the roller rocker supention kit isent because the police have it.... have you ever been in a car that has that i take it not...

Ive diside'd on a 3in exhaust

i don't need sarcasm i just wanted an opinion and a bit of advice....

[aussie 94 vr]

how bad is there dyslexia? because im not actually wearing my glasses at this current point in time because it would be impossible to read this with the white background with them on thanks..
and the holly blue runs my mates quad carbbie just fine it actually overpowers it by 3psi and hes got 45 and 50 jets in his and i know what a roller rocker is in the engine..

i have got my certificate 3 in automotive

sorry mate its just there was a lot of unrealistic things there....ok 3 inch would be the very maximum size i would go anymore and there will be no back reassure id recommend 2/12 inch for a N/A V6

extractors would give a bit more go plus help the engine breath better

why do u need higher preassure fuel? is there any other performance upgrades you are thinking of in the future that would require a higher fuel preasure?

throttle body is a good upgrade

the rocker kit i have never herd of seriously wtf is it??

sorry its late and i really should go to bed:P

keep us posted with the progress

thanks mate im thinking of a turbo i think my mate sead its a small garret 4000 something cant rember and i'm going run it at a 7 pound boost to get the feel for it (p plate restrictions) and the rocker thing to explane that there's a serspention kit out roller rocker was what i was told it was called its meant to make the car feel like its swaying when you tern a corner too quick and is meant to drop the possibility of rolling i don't know that's what i was told thanks for the idea on the exhaust ill try that

the turbo is sitting at my mates place hes deciding on whether he want's to put it on his car or not

[aussie 94 vr]

if anyone has any recommendations and what i can do i would appreciate it muchly

[aussie 94 vr]

just getting some photos ready for upload and you will be able to see my project

doesnt look bad for $300... as for the exhaust dont go too wanky with it, the ricers mightnt like it

[89 vn]

Get a 10 inch exhaust tip or one of those WRX ones that fit someones head
Cut your springs
Get Altezzas
Get Bonnet Pins
Get a VE kit moulded to your VR at massive cost

nah im joking obviously, just do the basics to your car before you have big plans for it such as:
get the exhaust done, a decent cold air intake setup and if possible a greenfoam tune then start worrying about other things.
Chances are if this is your first car then the above mods shall keep you happy for a while until you decide to do more work but since your a P plater I think you should worry about your driving skills instead of wanting to get more power out of a car you probably aint even owned very long

[jas98]

cant go wrong for $300...even if the engine has seen better days. nice buy

roller rocker suspension kit...i get ya now...still i have never herd of it though. Would be interesting to see.

also im from qld and im on me P's and not allowed any turbo's...are the laws different in VIC? always thought the laws were teh same QLD and VIC

(that's 15mm larger the 5.0L R8 club sport thottle body).

You do realise there is no such thing as a 5 litre R8 don't you? All R8's are LSX engines. They stopped using them in the series 2 VT HSV's. The last of the 5 litre blocks were the 195i etc VT HSV's.

[Dirbatua]

(p plate restrictions) and the rocker thing to explane that there's a serspention kit out roller rocker was what i was told it was called its meant to make the car feel like its swaying when you tern a corner too quick and is meant to drop the possibility of rolling i don't know that's what i was told thanks for the idea on the exhaust ill try that

i think you are talking about a Strut Brace, it goes between the 2 strut towers in the engine bay and helps stop body roll in corners, has nothing to do with the roller rockers at all.

You on your Red P plates?

and all R8's are LS series engines.

[stocky]

also, 2006 is VZ, not VY.

and being on red Ps you wont be allowed to do any performance mods anyway

[Grennan]

What the ****, roller rocker suspension kit? Pretty sure theres a brand called Rocker Roller, but I dont think they are really suited for Commodores. They are more suited for trailers and caravans etc. On top of that, changing to that sort of setup would be some extreme work on a commodore, just do what everyone else does and chuck some superlows in it and be done with it.

Next problem: 4 inch exhuast. Theres a saying we have on this forum - Cannons are for Pirate Ships, not for Commodores. You are practically putting a potatoe launcher on your car. Dont. You will have no back pressure what soever and will loose all gains from your mods. 2.5 inch is enough, 3 if your going forced induction. NO MORE.

70mm throttle body - 5L R8's only exist in fairy land.

70mm throttle body - 5L R8's only exist in fairy land.

with their 55mm throttle bodys. 5mm smaller than a v6, and 10mm smaller than a standard 5L

[Cobez]

I wouldn't even put a 3" on a V6 unless you are getting some half decent power out of it. But with the cam etc he claims that is in this VX Rattletec engine, a 3" might be alright for it.

thread cleaned and moved to my ride section

I think with the roller rocker situation your talking about replacing the factory rockers in the heads (on the engine) with roller type rockers? the suspension thing might have been the valve springs having you confused.

[PaulSV6]

I think u mean 2006 VZ blinkers, Holden stopped making VY's in '04.

That looks in good nic for $300, well done mate
Whats that device suction capped on ur front windscreen? Ive seen them b4 but cant remember.

[hsvpunk]
