Name: Johnny
Occupation: 1st year electrician
Age: 20
I worked my ass off to pay for this car to modify it and keep it running, I treat it like a girlfriend, actually I’m pretty sure it’s the reason why I don’t have a girlfriend haha.
Unfortunately she is off the road due to a blown gasget, but that just means we are coming back stronger haha
Make: Holden
Model: Monaro Cv6
Engine: l67 factory supercharged v6, came with a standard of 171kw at the fly
Trans: standard now, but Jim Walton Transmissions is building something strong for me :P
Diff: l.s.d 3.08 soon to be 3.7
Modifications: mace cold air intake, mace pulley upgrade, mace intermediate cooler, oil catch can
Cost: actually surprisingly low.
Build Period: 6 months
Power: 193.4rwkw and roughly 10,000N of torque (have no idea what that is converted to) but it is a fair bit (standard exhaust, will have 200rwkw covered now)
1.9s 60ft times
To put this into perspective we only managed to pull 13degrees out of the timing, intercooler properly on should see it at about 18degrees, so this should see some big bloody gains
Stereo- don’t care about stereo for now, but does have a touch screen jvc dvd player, which is an awesome unit.
Realistic Goals: break into 11’s and 240+rwkw, not to let the power get to me and put it into a tree
Future layout:
1-3 months- everything ported and put the new Trans in.
3-6 months- cam and tune touch up.
6-12, fresh forged l67 and start the turbo/supercharger set up… from what I understand it is going to be a head f**k and definitely not worth the gains…. But pretty cool haha whine and dose :P
The biggest surprise is the power this car made on only 11psi and the intercooler off. Absolutely no porting of charger, intake manifold, ubend or heads. I don’t think I’ve herd of anyone achieving these numbers with 11psi.
All I can say is watch this space, because the Monaro is truly going to be something special.
The Monaro has come a long way since I purchased it. Not so much in looks, but the performance difference is absolutely amazing.
Special thanks to Steve down at mace engineering for providing me with the goods to make this car into the beast it is today. When people ask me what and who to buy from I point them straight in Steve’s direction, and believe me I am not receiving any kind of payment for saying this, it is just so good to see a young engine developer sticking it to the big guys and coming out with better products and results.
Thanks to Tim at electronic automotive for getting her running right. I would not consider any other performance tuner after dealing with Tim.

whats the difference between my missus and my blower??
well they both whine but the blower actually puts out
cheers boys, she is a beauty.
Very nice mate
did you say your have run a 11psi pulley untuned and unintercooled on the car if you did how did it go as im looking at getting a new pulley within the next few weeks
Exhaust, air intake and I believe you will be fine. May need spark plug lead upgrade, but doubt it
That is an awesome car mate, LOVE IT!!! better than any girlfriend ive ever had haha
very tidy dude what times have you run?
cheers boys, i have only managed a 14.4 due to the trans, but once i get that sorted i believe there is a 13.3 to 13.5 there.
Looking good Johnny
Glad to hear that your keeping her
Might be a good idea to get the heads cleaned up while they're off![]()
what a great write up mate, and one of my favourite shaped cars.
good to see u did the hard yards and bought it with ur own coin, its always more rewarding that way.
and im sure that when its twin charged, the sound of the fully sick whine and dose will draw the ladies like a moth to a lightbulb, and ull have a mrs in no time.
haha
top stuff mate hopfully hear more bout this ride soon!
cheers guys.
Steve, when are we going to make my car the quickest cv6 in the world? a sub 11 would be nice haha
Benjamino, it is more rewarding buying my own car, its true, you do take care of it more when you worked for it.
haha don't wish a misses upon me yet, i still have things to buy for the monaro :P
johnny
yeah, im on the power to weight ratio rules, and as it was my daily driver i was restricted when first modifying it. now due to the fact that it spends most of its time undercover at home i can let the fun begin. cheers mate
johnny
Ready when you are Johnny
As for twin charged info check out the following link.
Factory L67 TwinCharged Plans
Good info there![]()
haha, doesnt sound p plate restricted at all considering ur gonna wack on some twins!![]()
haha i have over 200 at the rears now sooo, i passed that restriction a long time ago, however in saying that, i would hate to know what it would look like if i had not had restrictions.
I was gonna say why would you get a supercharged 6 when you can have an 8!
Im suprised your allowed a supercharged engine? I thought you couldnt have anything supercharged, turbo'ed or a V8?
Voodoo Blue SSV M6 sedan
355rwkw
im on the old rules, 125kw per tonne i am allowed.
Johnny, I want your car.![]()
haha take it, i think its sitting on 38litres per 100km at the moment, so you might have to fill it up a few times to get it home
