    Estimated power of these mods Ecotec

    been there and done that. hamburger with the lot.. only thing i did'nt **** with (ask anyone that as seen my thread) was the crank and pistons. i made 155rwkw. i'd say 145-150 with a GOOD TUNE!!... but expect high 130's... and expect ignition problems with an up'd comp ratio. and a big bill. one...

    now running 155rwkw with the new exhuast and VT air box. i'd love to run a v8 but i'm in victoria and the police here are horrible with there power to weights and yeah.. not allowed to drive a v8 anyway. but having a v6 that it suitable for boost is'nt a bad thing. its snappy sounds great and...

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    the whole point of this discussion was about manifolds.. c.o.m.e and mace ones and it kinda spread into the porting of maf sensors... no real answers to the best bang for buck with the plenum spacers and tb's etc.. everyone thats ment to be doin a test does'nt seem to be posting results so were...

    i've already spent a few BIG dollars.. whats a few more.. were just trying to get what i've got running 100% then i'll go from there.. but i've got a fuel supply problem.. something to do with the fuel pump or fuel reg.. also one question! are vs commodores ment to hold pressure in there fuel...

    sts turbo (rear mounted turbo under car) what have you heard?

    even in the rain the pod would be useless.. i agree that it would have lots of lag. i just had my ute on the hoist and came to the conclusion that we could have it up the back and have the pod filter suck air in the gaurds of the tray.... but i'm still not 100% certain that a turbo back there...

    sircruisealotVS.... why would i even bother telling such a narrow minded twat like yourself anything to do with performance.. i dont realy even beleive u have eyes.. because clearly its easy to see how a ported maf would be an advantage in any case!. the only stroking you've done is of your...

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    safe to say that in the right situation a ported maf or ls1 maf sensor's provide gain and as all n/a ecotec guys know every little bit helps. and that a 200rwkw ecotec is possible! but expensive. can we get back to the subject of discussion.. manifolds? who makes them.. (note manifolds.. not...

    pod filter on VX

    i am currently runnen the largest pod i could find in autobahn (k&n) and to be honest it may have made a difference from the stock vs airbox but it would be very small. the difference between the pod filter attached and the pod filter off were somewere around the 10kw mark (yes i know an air...

    vs heads/exhaust upgrade

    my receipt for my engine work says crow cams stage 11 but it might be 1 i'm not sure i just wanted a small tourqey cam and 1.8 ratio roller rockers. roller rockers do tend to make a large difference. i only went 1.8's because i was a bit nervous about clearence at high rpm and wanted to allow...

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    considering my motor probably was around the 100rwkw mark when i first started i rekon what i've done so far has been a few serious steps in the right direction. if i do hit 200rwkw ( i doubt it) but if i do it'll be with a different manifold. and i dont think that will happen.. but listen mate...

    sts turbo (rear mounted turbo under car) what have you heard?

    is there anyone that has done this or know of anyone that has done this. i figure that a turbo mounted towards the rear of the car would produce some rather large LAG issues but there are alot of people in the states doin it.. any results? suitable for low boost cars? (alright guys that hate me...

    vs heads/exhaust upgrade

    i was under the impression that a 3" would flow better and be more suited to a cam and roller rockers but despite that i'm going with 2 1/4 twin cats into a 3" single. i'm suffering from a huge amount of back pressure issues at the moment it was alright before the cam and roller rockers but not...

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    imortality i agree with almost everything you say.. if only other members were'nt so narrow minded. 200rwkw v6 n/a is'nt impossible only people that go to college and earn NO INCOME would say such a thing. the fact that i'm spending enough money to transplant a 6L (if it fits) into my ute.. i...

    the 147rwkw and the 200rwkw.. i've been to 2 different dyno's and one is very happy i've learnt now and the other ruffly on toe.. but no dyno is 100% accurate.. i've ported and polished my maf.. i had it chipped to match it aswell i noticed a difference and so did the dyno.

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    maf sensor a reality a vt air box will fit if ur not a sheep... CUSTOMISE!.. and the maf sensor does make a big difference.. i have dyno results to prove it and so do 4 other people in mildura..

    vs heads/exhaust upgrade

    if ur cam is'nt VERY agressive.. 1,9's will clear.. i went for 1.8's just for a bit of a safty margin and yeah.. a 3inch all the way threw flows better then the twin options

    v6 ecotec answers i found out the hard way just ask what u want

    best bet is to go and get 1.9 ratio roller rockers if u think u might end up goin for a cam down the track.. to be honest my ute does'nt use that much more fuel with a mild cam.. its just that i drive it harder now LOL.. theres another car around here that has 1.98 ratio roller rockers port...

    vs heads/exhaust upgrade

    ?? are you completely high... that exhaust would provide near no top end band at all.. i'm swappin to a twin 2.25 with hi flow cats into a 3" from just before the diff back.. thats what i'm goin for and with rocker's u'll basicly have the same setup as me.. port your MAF sensor out and fit a vt...

    C.O.M.E racing manifold plenum for ecotec

    i'd go and grab a die grinder and grind the F*** out of ur maf sensor and if its a vs get a VT air box.. much bigger.. with cold air intake.. grind that out too!! make that heaps bigger.. then throttle body grind him out bigger to. polish ur plenum right up. then go 1.98 roller rockers and then...
