V6 More Power - without a supercharger ""HOW?"

[daffyy30]

Can anyone tell me what mods i can make to my 1999 VT. V6. Exec. Manual. Sedan..

I have a 2.5 Sport Exhaust (Less the pre Muffler and Cat Hollowed out) and a Geniune Air Cleaner K & N High flow.

Mods that have been tested would be good..
And High costs avoided.. HaHa.. Well not to extreme Hey..

Cheers..

P.s. Lowered 35mm.. Car has brake Shutter.. even after Alignment..

do u only get brake shutter wen u apply the brakes? if so sounds like u may have warpped rotors??

[daffyy30]

I am going to get my disc machined.

I just heard that there was a problem with Brake shutter in VT,s.
Something to do with brake pad material.

Thought might get other ideas or confirmed..

Cheers on ya feedback thou

If it was brake pad material, it wouldnt be such a general problem? As each company uses its own materials in the brake pads?

Theres heaps of mods mate. Cam, rockers, throttle body, headwork, extractors, tune/chip etc...

How much are you willing to pay per mod?

Stroke it to 4.2L

Stroke it to 4.2L

He said high costs avoided... Which I think 4-5 grand would be included...

[bsbozzy]

Meh, you wont get much awithout spending at leadt 5k!

Install 1.9:1 ratio roller rockers from FIT or Yella Terra. They cost about $800 and will give you better flow, resulting in better top end power. Check out http://www.v6supercharged.com.au

I thought Yella Terra only did 1.8 rockers. Thats what they told me and I got them for $740 here in WA.

[shaggerz]

Last I heard they now have a set of 1.9s

I could be wrong though

[1991_Vn2nV]

1.8:1 is the highest ratio available for the Buick engine, the VS ecotec has 1.9:1 ratio rockers available.

1.8:1 is the highest ratio available for the Buick engine, the VS ecotec has 1.9:1 ratio rockers available.

This I am aware of, but since in the first post it was stated the car is a VT, then ecotec it must be, so 1.9's are certainly available, and even up to 1.97 Hybrids from F.I.T...

[Jesterarts]

How much gain @ the fly would u expect in a VX Ecotec with 1.9:1 rockers?
Considering stock standard they put out 152kw @ the fly?

[sno]

around 160 I heard..

[Gothevu]

Around 167kw @ the fly

[broderikb]

I'd just go for a cam, 1.9's & a chip. Also, never rule out boost as an option, the kw per $ ratio is just too good.......
