Hey Koo, love your work and a big congrats with getting the beastie fired up.
This thing is going to be so much fun to watch over the next 12 months.
It will be so good to see this thing get into the 8 second bracket.
I don’t know what it is with your car, but it seems to bring all the know it all’s and doom sayers out of the closest.
Trouble is now I am going to be branded a di*k licker by certain members because I like what you are doing.
So if I am going to be a di*ck licker and say I love your work, I might as well go that one step further and reply to some of the negative and stupid comments in this thread.
That way I can look like a di*k licker and a retard all in one hit!!!

Want to know something sad,
You have 301.rwkw From a V6
Ls1 + Tune + OTR + Exhaust = 225rwkw + Some Other bits an it's in your ballpark.
I can respect the ammount of work that has gone into it, But I know my post makes me seem like an Arsehole, Because it's true.
I am so glad that you can respect the effort that has gone into this build.
Unfortunately I can not respect your maths. Nor understand it.
You are saying that 225KW is CLOSE to 300KW there is a 75KW difference, what’s that a 25% difference.
I would hate to loose 75KW.
By your math, I could score with a nice girl simply by looking at her, that's pretty close, isn't it?

more the point, why bother? by the time your finished you could have had a good deposit for a house
The point is that HE WANTS TO, and if that’s what he wants to do, good on him.
Its not like he is spending your money, unless you are his illegitimate love child, and if that’s the case, say good by to some of your inheritance.
Seeing he already owns his house, why bother with any more?
You can only live in one at a time and the house won’t do 8 to 9 second passes down the quarter.

Cuckoo, Ignore it. Half the people on here get hung up between 2.25" and 2.5" exhaust systems. Don't expect great things.
What sort of internals are you using?
The intake manifold looks intersting, have you any pictures of it?
Surely the heads have had more then just a cursory glance.
What diff setup are you running? (Spooled BW 8.8?)
Still running the two bolt mains, or gone 4 bolt? (six bolt even??)
You have stated that you have ‘built’ V6’s before, have you short term memory loss when it comes to the bottom end or did you just forget to put the extra bolts in?
More detailed pictures would be great.
Also, With no more information I reckon you'll crack 400-450hp without the No2.
You really don’t get out much do you?
400 to 450 is so last decade.
AmmoJammo
gotta say, it really is a total waste of money.
buy hey, whatever floats your boat...ah, commodore.
Glad you think it is a wasted of money, again it’s not your money so why should you care?
Or are you another illegitimate love child from the Koo that is worried that he might be pissing away your inheritance?
soop
You asked how much boost it would run and the answer you were given was
on the street 10-15 on pump
at the track 30 plus on e100
Then you ask the following.
so thats 30psi on the street and 60 at the track?
Or are you running 5psi each turbo on the street?
And you have the hide to call others retards?????
Now a quick lesson.
If you have 5PSI of pressure in one container and 5 psi of pressure in another container and then join them together you don’t have 10PSI, simple math.
So if he is running 10PSI to the manifold, then the turbo’s will both be sitting at 10PSI.
No I am not allowing for drop between the turbo and the inlet, and I am not talking about flow, just simple pressure.
soop
Well that's why I asked. Purely out of interest.
I've never built a proper fast v6 (Best I've done is a near stock Buick with an M90)
Did you remember to put the extra bolts in the mains????
Soop
They didn't even disagree.
They just flew to the aid of someone with little to know idea of wtf they were on about.
That’s like the pot calling the kettle black.
Krisp
from personal bloody experience blown well over 30k on a car and for what? the wank factor that lasted less than the time it took the build it. spend his money how he likes , will always regret it in the long term
Wow,,,,,, hang on, I will say it again WOW.
You sir may need to have a long chat to a mental health specialist as it seems to me that you may have a deep seeded mental issue.
Now before you get all upset, I will try to explain why.
If you spent 30K plus on a car and you are not sure why, don’t you see this as a problem?
You are talking about “wank” factor.
If you built this car so people would look at you and go, WOW look at that its so cool, what a great job.
Then you have built the car to be noticed, not for your own pleasure. Unless your pleasure is people looking at you and if that’s the case you may still have a few loose wires in the old knoggin’.
If you regret spending money or working on cars, then there is an easy solution, DON’T DO IT. Leave to the people that actually enjoy what they have done.
Just because YOU made a mistake with 30K and YOU are regretting it, it doesn’t mean that anyone else will.
Soop
Well then this thread can go root it self. Sorry OP im not going to suck your dick.
I'm no M90 specific expert but I know how PD chargers work. I've done nothing but make constructive comments the whole way through this thread but it seems the V6 brigade can't handle anything less then ball tickline and knob jossling.
You might win the race, but at the end of the day you're all still retards.
CIAO.
Well what can I say to this, quite a lot actually, but not much of it could be published.
I don’t think Craig would like you even thinking about you sucking his di*k and no where can I find any reference from Koo asking you or anyone else to suck his ####.
But it seems to me you like to use the sucking di*k phrase a lot as well as references to ball tickling and knob jossling, you almost seem hung up on the male genitalia.
Sigmund might just look at that as you having deep longings for the other team, jumping out of the closest soon???
Where are your constructive comments????
Do you know what the word constructive actually means?????
Please show us your ‘constructive’ comments in this thread.
May I also thank you for branding all the V6 owners as retards.
At the end of the day Soop, all you have managed to do is make yourself look and sound like a total douche, again.
I have said it before and I will say it again, the majority of your posts are nothing more than nonsensical diatribe and deserve to be put in the only place that they belong,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the SHITTER.
I really love it when others disagree with you, you grab your bat and ball, slam the door and go away to sulk in your bedroom. My nephew used to do that,,,, when he was three!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CIAO
