vy ss kw's

[94calais]

hey all, i pick up a vy ss tomorrow and just wondering if someone can tell me how many kw's they have

[Rusty]

gen III is between 225 kw and 245kw depending on model with 465nm torque

[94calais]

it's a series 2 vy ss 03 model, what's a mafless tune set ya back and how much extra does it give

[Rusty]

I was talking the kw when they roll out of the factory. They lose kw's over the years due to many factors so no one will be able to tell you how many killowatt any car has with or without mods (except for dyno). Mafless tune wont give you a great deal of extra power unless you have other accompanying mods.

VY SS has 235 KW at the flywheel
Clubsport 245

Maffless tune with over the radiator cold air intake will set u back about $1300 and give you probably another 50rwkw, providing the exhaust is half decent, extractors, high flow cats and straight thru mufflers.
If you dont have the exhaust cost is generaly about $1700 for mild steel twin 2.5 inch.
Saves fuel depending if you dont flog it, more power and nicer to drive.
To compliment it change the diff gears to 3.9 and you will be loving life.

[Sean880]

No GenR.

The "Series Two" VY cars fitted with the V8 ( Sv8... SS... and Calais V8) came with 245 KW @ 5600 rpm engines.

[GenReaper]

Pretty sure my owners manual says different.
Maybe the Series 2 is more.
They do this so they can sell the Clubby as an extra performance car.

gen III is between 225 kw and 245kw depending on model with 465nm torque

edit: between 460 and 465 stock torque

[RicheCV8]

My Monaro was stock and pulling 170ish at the wheels. After a full 2.5" exhaust was at 190 and after the mafless tune with Duspeed OTR it's now at 230 at the wheels and added 160 nm of torque. It wa a new car after the tune and well worth the $$$ spent. Chev did a great job on the tune.

[GenReaper]

Here is my old engine with an auto and big heavy mag wheels.
Stock with exhaust and OTR CAI maffless tune.
Chuck another 10rkwk on that if its got stock wheels.
The graph shows the difference between stock and exhaust with OTRCAI with maffless tune.
The person who tuned it is NOT my current tuner.

Mafless tune wont give you a great deal of extra power unless you have other accompanying mods.

Have to call bullshit there. Mafless tune is not reliant on other mods to get power. A stock LS1 will get around 210-220rwkw stock with a mafless, or around 20% increase.

A custom mafless tune is around $1000 and a mail order tune around half that

[Surfwagon]

VY SS has 235 KW at the flywheel
Clubsport 245.

Your flywheel kw's for the series1VY SS is correct but your HSV figures are a little short.
HSV VX1+2 = 255kw, VY1 = 260kw, VY2 = 285kw , all with Gen3 5.7Litre
HSV VZ = 297kw 6.0Litre

[GenReaper]

Thanks for clearing that up.

mine has 223rwkw with just a cat back exhaust and otr, that was the last time i got it dyno'd. since then ive put on extractors and modified the cat pipes. coming soon will be high flow cats and a mafless tune. then i should be looking at around the 260-270rwkw

That's a big increase with just an exhaust upgrade. I have a full sports exhaust with high flow cats and tune and only got 230 at the wheels. I would expect 260 to 270 if I installe a can but not just if an exhaust upgrade.

[W45H1NGT0N]

yeh i dunno what the previous owner did to it b4 i got it apart from dual 2.5inch catback, but yeh i got 290.1rwhp which is roughly 216rwkw with only catback and otr. i was hell suprised that it didnt make more power as i can keep up with my mates sv8 which has 340rwhp(253rwkw).

you wont see anywhere near that without a cam change etc....

[W45H1NGT0N]

So how much power would a set of high flow cats and a mafless tune give me? something like 40rwkw more?

[ARATIC]

It sounds like from those figures you already have a maf tune.

If that were the case, I'd say 10, maybe 15 if your lucky for mafless and cats

EDIT: If your running an OTR you must be mafless now??

[W45H1NGT0N]

nah thats the weird thing, its not mafless tuned. it might have a maf tune though, and im running a custom otr with the maf and when i get a mafless tune the maf metre just gets replaced by silicone hose

[RicheCV8]

I wood agree, 10-15 at the most and you must have already got a tune done like a MAF custom edit. With these standard bolt ons I would say 230 plus at the wheels. Upgrade the valve springs as the stock ones tend to chatter a bit might get you another 5kw. If you want the at 270 at the wheels better get a cam done.

All tuners are different, results will vary on any dyno but with stock mods mentioned above with a stock clutch I think you get some good results.

[W45H1NGT0N]

ok yeh that sounds about right haha
btw mines auto

Cool, mines a manual, let me know how you go.

[axemurderer101]

just got a mafless tune and full twin 3 inch exhaust and it made 340hp which is about 253kw
