I have a OTR on my ss, with that I have 2 seperate filters that I can change as they get dirty (instead of waiting for it to completely dry) My issue is my newer air filter seems to be more efficient. When I put my older one in, the car FEELS slower/less torque. Although I clean and swap them...

Right, I’ll have a look how my clutch is doing and decide from there

I’ve got the money to turbo charge my car right now. The thing is I don’t want to go dumping all this money into my car right away. what do you think about the clutch’s being ls7 from factory or is that bullshit?

Thanks for the response. Car has done 186xxx, getting up there. But from what I’ve heard and what people tell me. Its a very well looked after car, most people are surprised when I tell them the kms. Better safe than sorry

Hey guys. I’ve been looking into more power out of my ss lately and stumbled across a Heads and Cam pack from HPF (horsepower factory) in Dandenong, I’ve had a chat about it with one of the staff (cost/what’s involved/install times) It all sounds great. For 5k they will install a cam of my...

Problem has been sorted. Oil has been done. So has filter, nothing to be seen. Had a magnet around in the sumo and got absolutely nothing. So, I am guessing it’s from my dipstick tube

When I changed my headers, I stupidly left the battery connected. And while I was trying to get my dipstick back down into its spot (I left the dipstick as a whole assembly) it hit the starter motor and sparked. It had a rugged sharp bit right on the bottom after. Sometimes I’ll have a slight...

I recently checked my oil and found some what looks to be steel shavings in the oil everytime I dip it in and pull it back up I can find at least another bit of steel. Car has done 183xxx and is serviced every 10xxx, lifters are stock from what I know. I do have a tick at times but not a lot...

Okay so if the middle was hotdogs instead of a muffler and the rears were mufflers. Would I’d make it louder/deeper?

Hi everyone. Don’t know if this has been addressed properly in here. I have a ssv with from what I know a stock clutch from factory 180xxx. it felt fine in stock form when I got it but once I did stage 1 mods (full bolt ons and tune) it’s started to grab higher and go slightly spongey. My...

going with that will force me to have to get new headers also, I don’t want to go to too much trouble. I do hear good things about them though

I want it to drive like a normal car so it’s a no from me, but yeah I just want a deeper note that’s louder. It’s deep as is but too quiet for me

My mistake. I did the same with my milk stall system. Just a high temp pressure pack and 6 months on and it’s still holding up well

I have full aftermarket exhaust. I might switch to something similar to you, mines much too quiet

I see. Is this a stainless system? Does it bolt to a factory position?

I have a ss. 2.5”. 3” was my plan for when I cam but I think it will be too loud

I am looking into upgrading to a stainless system for my ssv. Was thinking of going the 3” route but I do not want the car to be overly loud. I just want a nice deep rumble at idle and abit more noise under power. All the cars I see with 3” systems sound like they have a cam but only have a...

I’m thinking I will try them out, easy to change back over if need be. I had a bad experience with hotdogs on my v6 ve it was loud and so much drone it’s was the absolute worst. Was also auto

I’m not overly worried about drone it’s been pretty good so far. I drive a 6 speed also. Have you had any experience with straight pipes or hotdogs on the rear?

I’ll look into it. What does it do sound wise, much louder or?

All I’ve had don’t so far is full exhaust, air intake and tune so next up is a cam. But I’m just wondering what will make my current 2.5” a little louder. Keep in mind I’m only wanting to swap the rear mufflers around instead of wasting cash on a new 2.5” when I’ll be going 3” eventually

I’m going for a 3” when I plan to cam. And got the headers to suit what will flow the best, from my research that’s the best flowing stuff you can have for a cam?

I have a 2.5” xforce catback and 4-1 1 7/8 extractors. The catback has mufflers in the mid and mufflers at the rest. So you could imagine it’s quiet. I plan on going to a 3” when I cam eventually but for now I want something a little louder or something that will change the note, so. If I go...

My mistake. But 4th would be the best gear to see the most power out of one of these correct? I’m actually not too sure, it’s a 2012 model so it may be tr6060

Yes I didn’t really get why 4th wasn’t used and from my knowledge 4th is overdrive which will more than likely make more power and torque. Thanks for the input

No no. The graph says 710ish nm and 260kw

I understand the graph itself. It’s just confusing me how it shoots up torque wise from 30kmph to 40kmph

Series 2 ssv l77 t56. Otr full exhaust and tune

Got my car back and all is good. I’ve asked for a dyno graph and received one. Is this right? I’m no expert but it seems weird down low how it’s picked up. Also it’s only been run in 3rd gear no 4th because the wheel speed was too fast for the dyno I think. Which was 200kph

Agreed diff ratio would be a good next mod for me. Very cheap if you look around and be patient, only about $2000 for all of this.

Hey guys, I recently got my first lot of bolt ons installed on my car and I thought I’d make a thread for anyone else thinking to do mods and what to avoid and what not to avoid. I have a series 2 ve ssv manual to start off, I picked up a vcm otr. The one got was designed only for a series 1...

Hahah thanks, sucks that I can’t see my before readings. I’m curious how much of an improvement I’ll make but I guess I’ll settle for the reading it gets afterwards

Manual ssv

I agree, I’m just concerned with how much I make before and after. He did show me the nM graph but it didn’t have any reading only the Newton’s showed

Yes. He didn’t know much sadly

Newtons

I today got my car put on the dyno to get a baseline number before i do basic mods. I managed to pull on the first run 250rwkw (wow) with only a VCM OTR and some lifter tick it made 5657n with a peak speed of 197kph. Is there any way to convert this to nM or has anyone had any numbers similar...

Thought so. Thanks for the input, I’ll have a look at the rex headers for sure. But it seems like it almost absolutely going to be 4 into 1 1 7/8

Sorry you mis understood, I got that first part. But I was also wondering about tri-ys in general. In regards to how they go if I go the cam route

Really good numbers for heads and cam! Can you shed some light on tri-y? I been told they’re very torquey down low, but when doing cams charger etc then they are useless, is this true?
