Here's a few thing you can try, prices are estimates, as it will depend on your local workshops.

MACE Manifold Insulators $150
MACE CAI $270
Twin 2.25 with CC Pacies and High Flow cats. $2500
Diff gears (3.73/3.9) $1500
VCM Tune $900
CPR6 Manifold $2000

Ok cheers well im in melbourne so explain to me with the manifold and the manifold insulators what do these do to gain more power? just so i get an idea!

now the exhaust does the 2.25 still make a loud noise when change from 1 to 2 to 3 to drive?

cheers

No worries. Yeah the twin 2.25 will sound fine, add some extractors and cats, and it will sounds great!!

Check out the MACE website, they are listed under Manifold Insulators.

MACE ENGINEERING GROUP

Do a search for CPR6, there is a few threads about them. A few people are trying to organise a group buy, so price may be alot better through that.

CPR6 group buy

VZ-VE V6 Alloytec Commodore manifold, CPR6 Manifold, Performance Manifolds

wow.

total=$7320

Just boost it imho.

[Kal123]

Don't forget about P Plate laws : (

[monaro327]

problem is you need to spend the $2k on exhaust and $900 on tune when you boost it making it over $10k.

[Kovacic_VR95]

yea mmm *** p plate laws its going to be standard on outside but engine all tuned up and modified! i honestly cbf getting a turbo tho which i know is easier but ahwell!

Any one know what are the laws on all those parts are?

[Kovacic_VR95]

A NEW QUESTION!

Ok the sv6 is a showcar that im building for autosalon and shit and its to driver around the south east and show it off not as in hoon but make it a big head turner!

So im trying to put in everything into the engine so ppl go OHHHHHH when they look under the hood i jst cant turbo it due to VIC laws for p platers i guess iv got til next eyar then im off them but still what is the best to put in the engine the limit i want to spend is anything dont care really with cash i have it so want to know what i should just do to the engine to make it the best performer in the south east that will rape any car (apart from vl turbo lol)...

So guys what other ideas u have for best like noise for exhausts systems and i dont have any cash amoutn on engine what should i do like go all out on?

And how much will a leather re-trim cost of a cream colour on the seats u rekon?

Cheers peoples!

[monaro327]

if you want a decent engine mate, pacemaker headers twin hi flow cats decent twin 2 1/4 catback. Mace CAI, CPR6 intake manifold. VCM tune, given your a p plater so no obvious stuff like blowers. you could go a cam package which is enough to win dyno comps but you have an auto so i wouldn't personally. maybe add manual conversion to the list then cams.

[HannibalK1ng]

cams for a VZ i thought they wernt being made ? to hard with the quad cam?

can you clear this up as i would probs look into this! thanks

[monaro327]

plenty of people making cams just the price of about $4000 installed scares most people they also wont work well with the 5speed auto.
