Whipple progress

[joshsvs]

hi
is there any news on the the 2.3Lt Whipple for the V6?
im very interested in the power figures these will make non-intercooled.

[jenkos_vl]

at last check they where making about 250rwkw from the non-intercooled.
and 300rwkw's from the intercooled version.

bloody nice effort ey.

Jenkos

[joshsvs]

thats incredible.
was that with a cam,tune,head work etc.
also, what boost was that at?

[jenkos_vl]

pretty sure they both are running the YT spec cam with mild head work,
and tunned by scotty from chip control.
cant remeber boost, i think around 14psi. .

mark or one of the YT guys can prolly give you some better details.

im waiting for this, looks realy good, heaps of headroom.
still got the issue i want a local dyno tune for the VY, not a "guesstimate" tune done to the ecu interstate, when i go forced

[blake0182]

is this whiple supercharger kit for the ecotec l36 or was it put onto a l67

[veclubby]

at last check they where making about 250rwkw from the non-intercooled.
and 300rwkw's from the intercooled version.

bloody nice effort ey.

Jenkos

bloody oath with that sorta power i should keep the ute and not worry bout an 8 haha

[BECS]

For any one going to summernats BECS car will be at the Yella Terra trade stand with there whipple kit fitted to it.

id like to see the proof first.
also how do u get a 50rwkw improvement from a simple intercooler?

theres plenty of proof. have seen a dyno run myself with the whipple ute making around 300rwkw. theres quite a lot to be gained from running the intercooler. cooler air means more power and can run more spark.

[beefcream]

that sounds like a beast.. im really keen to hear more about them

[TappetHead]

Here's two of the Whippled V6's on the stand and cruisin at the Nats.

how long to these kits ar on production and wat power are they making in most cars non-intercooled?

They are available ex stock now as a complete upgrade for L67 engine including intercooler $6,200.

All kits sold so far have been fitted to purpose built engines and have made between 280 and 320 RWKW.

Cheers.

What would you have to change to make this kit workable on an L36?

The stock L36 (LN3) compression ratio is a little high so that would be your first limiting factor.

isnt an ln3 a series 1 buick?

if so they run a fairly nice 8.5:1? (not exactly insanely high)

Nope.

LN3 is the engine code for the Australian Ecotec V6.
Stamped on the ID plates of all V6 ecotec Commodores.

The CR for the LN3 (L36 is the American code) is 9.4:1

Thanks professor Deek.
Now can you tell me why the fridge door is hard to open when it hasn't been closed for very long?

Its the Vacuum Man inside the fridge.

I thought otherwise due to reading this

the LN3 and L36 are american used abbreviations for the commodore motors.

yours is essentially the L36, but it runs a different manifold and other items. the blocks are the same.

the easiest way to show it is:

VN s1 = LN3
VN s2-VR = L27
VS ecotec -VY = L36

but in reality, the american motors are laid out differently being mostly FWD configuration.

Ah thats a easy one.
It is in direct relationship to the number of cold beveies removed from the fridge at one time. The more removed, the larger the sad space, the bigger the vacuum

is there any kits for the 304 5lt? if so how much does it make...

Well there you go

Maybe I should remind ourselves that we are on a Australian Holden Commodore forum.

You are correct of course. The American's do call their series 1 Buick a LN3.
We (Australians) called ours a Series 1 Buick engine a LG2, & a later one the EV6 (I believe) I really don't know. .
The American's called their Series II a L36.
We Australians called our Ecotec (Series II) a LN3.

Btw Hakhawk got it wrong with the VN S1 (& you can confirm that by looking at the plate on your VN's firewall) & the VS - VY ecotec.

So yeah if you're talking on a American site you need to be careful when talking engine codes I suppose.

my post was showing the american equivalents(using the american abbreviations) to our aus motors.

so, with your information, this is what i was saying, without using aus abbreviations

AUS = US
------------
LG2 = LN3
EV6 = L27
LN3 = L36
