How much power do ya think your making? What in your opinion was the best addition out of your list there?

[MR_VX]

[MR_VX]

i brought a capa water injection kit from ebay and im not to sure if i wanna use it into the motor or set it up to spray onto the intercooler, any suggestions?

[torana9x]

Hey man, very nice car ya got there. Be sweet when ya get the s/c, have to let us know how it goes, wouldn't mind one on my vx one day.

[MR_VX]

yea no worries, im excited to get the kit on saturday! hopfuly tim has it rebuilt and all ready to pick up! ill keep ya up dated. and take more pictures.

[MR_VX]

so ever since ive changed my throttle body over to a bigger one i keep getting a fuel smell through my car whats the go? where and what should i check to stop it?

[MR_VX]

ok i just recived my raptor kit from tim yesterday and im excited to put it on!

[walesy]

looks good mate i love the sound of superchargers

[MR_VX]

yea im looking forward to it! im hoping for around the 215rwkw +. can only wish tho lol

[MR_VX]

ok just wondering what Ignition leads, spark plugs, oils and filters i should be looking at using now i have a raptor supercharger? please help me!

[MR_VX]

i dont seem to get to much help off this site any more!

[H1GHROLLR]

hey mate i would go with all genuine replacement parts such as ngk leads and ac delco plugs i this that is what holden use on the v6's all the after market leads are sometimes the wrong legnth and hang on extractors etc and they cost more, stick with the originals just use new ones same for the plugs .. thats all i use on my ls1 and it makes the same if not more hp then the aftermarket stuff

[MR_VX]

true sh*t righto i might do then thanks mate! another reason i wanted after market leads ( not the main reason ) was to put abit of colour under the hood!

[H1GHROLLR]

yeah they look good but have to think of it like this holden or GM spend millions developing parts for they cars they seem to get most of it rite so if it works why not stick with it , , , anyway i think you can get the NGK leads in blue not sure about other colours

[MR_VX]

no worries thanks for your help always welcome here

[MR_VX]

ok as i cant remove my grills from the front bar i was wondering if cutting the grills out and make it look like a vy/vz look ( check picture ) would be hard? or does anyone know someone around Townsville that would do it?

ok just wondering what Ignition leads, spark plugs, oils and filters i should be looking at using now i have a raptor supercharger? please help me!

I'm using Topgun Leads,For spark plugs I'm using what Raptor sent with the Kit so get onto Tim,Penrite Hpr 10 engine oil and Ryco filters.I've been changing the oil and filter every 5-6000km.The Raptor has been on for 22,000km now and not a problem.

[Adriianz]

woah nice man, if you dsont mind me asking, how much you get the kit for?

id love to put one on mine... need some decent rwkw... lol

[MR_VX]

yea mate, i got the kit secondhand for Tim at raptor superchargers, it was the kit he had on his VY demo car before he sold it, he rebuilt the charger and gave me 12 months warranty, i got the hole charger kit plus a intercooler kit for $3650 the best buy ever i think

[MR_VX]

i went into Holden yesturday to get the Tech 2 to turn on my digital speedo at first they said they had no idea what i was talking about, so i explained it Again. when i said tech 2 scan tool, right away he said thats $121.50 just to plug it in. just wondering if i could get it done cheap some where else?

[anarklov3r]

121 is extream.. My mate paid $120 to get a second hand cluster tech2'd and programmed for his car.

i paid $60 for holden to hook up a tech2 and reset my air bag warnins.

[MR_VX]

cant it be done any where else for cheaper?

[zagor]

Very nice, but get rid of the rear spoiler, it will change the car's look for the better. Love the rims

[MR_VX]

yea i want to get rid of the rear spoiler, how does every one else fill the holes where the screws will be? i dont wanna weld and repaint as it might rust underneath, i was thinking just bog and paint?????
