increasing power in my VY ss ute?

[Stace VY]

I only just bought my new 2002 VY ss ute. I've put on extractors, with a new air take, bigger 3inch dual exhaust.

It's running at 250kw at the moment, what are further ways of increasing the power? Turbo? Supercharge? And how much?

depends on your budget

but i'd say go twin turbo for sure

ATM I'll save money then spend it on tuning.

Supercharge or twin turbo?

[Cameron P]

depends on what you'd like man.. do some research into the differences but twin turbo you can get a fair bit more power

Twin turbo > supercharger, if thats what you want to hear. in reality its much more complicated then that.

variables to consider would be the fact neither can push more then say, 8psi without having internal work done. so if youd want to push more then that you would have to look at stronger internals, if it were me while i was at it id just stroke it as well. with a proper built motor with the twin turbos you can push 20psi, while would give you say 600kw+. im not sure on how much you are searching for, on a stock motor with no forged internals you could safety run 6psi id say, which you would be looking at around 400kw. just keep in mind also the price of a built box, diff etc, and the fact of turbo lag.

supercharging, youd have to look at either PD or centrifugal superchargers. both are different. with a centrifugal side mount (such as a vortech) 6psi through a standard motor will net you around 300kw, as you can see thats significantly less then a TT kit, but will behave differently, you will have no turbo lag.

do some research, and let us know what you decide.

will be good to see what he decides.
a big single turbo with a built 402 high rise manifold! bling bling!

[undersuspicion]

not a super charger or turbo charger, but gains can be made from a nice cam package mate.

[Stace VY]

Didn't want to get a cam package cause of the way it chews thru petrol.

But have researched it and thought of getting twin turbos, one big one small.

"Didn't want to get a cam package cause of the way it chews thru petrol"???? Man its going to be a lot worse with any sort of forced induction! You're going to have to run much bigger injectors

power = more fuel, unfortunately.

some of the boys have had success with fairly beefy cams tuned well to almost stock fuel economy
