After quite some time, I've had a bunch more upgrades done to my car including: - 16 PSI Supercharger Pulley (MACE) - Slotted Brake Rotors - Supercharger and Manifold Porting (MACE) - Upgraded Injectors - Light Weight Rotors for the Supercharger (MACE) - Cold Air Intake (MACE) - Upgraded Fuel...

I only got the idea that it might be something worse with posts like these. It's hard because so many things can make a particular sound and describing it people use different words etc so people think other things. Cheers everyone else for the more information, will look into what each one of...

Cheers guys, I'll look into the lifters and see if they are the issue. I don't know the specific type of oil that was put in since my last service off the top of my head but I do know I have plenty of it. The symptoms have slightly changed now as it is audible in idle (just) and it has overall...

Hey guys, Just recently started having an odd noise coming from the engine. Starting around 1700rpm and onwards (in any gear), the engine starts ticking/tapping (it's hard to explain, also hard to record while driving as it doesn't occur in idle or by revving in park - yep, auto). The...

Cheers guys. After searching a bit more, I have found a few places which say the stock ones would be good for ~400hp while maintaining near 80% duty cycle. So it looks like I would be pushing that if I got around 230rwkw or more.

Hey guys, I'm wondering if it is necessary or recommended to upgrade the injectors on my Supercharged VX Commodore. I'm planning on doing a bunch more mods to it like 16psi pulley, new fuel pump (the current one is maxed out), porting the supercharger and the manifold among a bunch of other...

Cheers for the advice Decicrate and might I add you have a very nice ride. I figured I would need to go more hardcore on the upgrades at some point to start getting much more power though I have spent quite a bit on the car already and I would only be game to spend up to another $3k on it (give...

Cheers for the replies. Already encountered a 3 PSI drop from the supercharger to the manifold (getting 9 PSI at max) relating to the W2A intercooler setup, it is part of the reason I want to go so high in pressure to counter-act the drop. I managed to find one comment here also mentioning the...

So I have the Eaton M90 on my supercharged VX commodore. Currently I have it running at 12 PSI (intercooled) on my car and I want to push it to around 18 PSI. I have been doing research regarding how much PSI the supercharger can take and I haven't really found an answer that I am happy with...

Just had a Stage 2 Shift Kit installed. Haven't been able to put it through it's paces yet but so far it's been pretty fun!

My Supercharged VX commodore had 132rwkw with stock pulley, 2.5" exhaust system with pacemaker extractors and hi-flow cats. Now produces 188rwkw with 12psi pulley, water-to-air intercooler and high-ratio rockers topped off with a custom tune. How high are you wanting to go?

Nice ride mate, I like the dashboard modifications. Does it sound good with that exhaust on it?

Extractors for a VT SS should be around the $700-$800 mark from what I have seen. I personally would go the full exhaust for that extra kick though it isn't required. Full exhaust plus extractors would probably put it between $1200-$1600 and depending whether you install it yourself, maybe...

Your car looks awesome mate. Can't wait to see it with the garnish and tail lights fully installed and working :)

I reckon I might be able to get some other angles tomorrow arvo :)

For V8s it's nice and simple, extractors and exhaust with a tune would give you a nice increase in performance without going overboard. If you wanted some serious gains, there is a lot of things you could do though forced induction with a turbo or supercharger would be pretty awesome.

Those rims look pretty cool and I do like the brakes.

Cheers guys! The car drives pretty hard and pretty loud. Had a minor issue with an idle stepper motor being a little stuck occasionally but should be sorted now. For my actual setup, the exhaust + extractors was around $2k (installed) and the supercharger + intercooler + throttle body + high...

Nice ride mate! I have always liked the Tiger Mica colour. When you get around to doing the performance mods, you may want a slightly higher PSI on your supercharger when you intercool it. One of the things I found out with my ride is that I am losing ~3 PSI through the intercooler. (There is a...

Cheers guys. Without starting a war, a lot of information I have read and seen (see: might car mods on Youtube, one video about CAI and another about Pod filters), there is pretty much no gains in a CAI (setup dependent of course - some may have a few kw more, some might lose some kw). Of...

Love the dash colour mate. The rims look really cool too. What's up with the tinting of the windows in the first picture? Are only the front windows tinted or is it just the angle that the photo was taken? Planning on doing any performance mods or is the raw power of the 8 enough?

Have you had the chance to dyno run the car with the mods on it? Would pull some pretty decent figures.

Great performance figures! About 60 or so kw at the rear wheels more than stock. Have you thought about a supercharger or turbo on this beast to get past 300rwkw? The silver finish on the dash is really cool.
