03 HSV Series 2 VY MALOO

[RVY-285]

03 HSV Series 2 VY MALOO.... decent sized cam n stallie on its way n new pics up!!

hey all

was a member many moons ago,

as first car I had a blue vs exec that some of you might remember with something like 10k + worth of audio gear, then I had a s1 vr stato that was quite well known here in adelaide as it ran HMAS VR....

now many years later

as something practical I got a 2003 HSV Series 2 VY MALOO.. to haul stuff round for my Silvia track car...
and I dont think you could get a better gear hauler than a hsv maloo =)

brought it from interstate,

and here is a quick run done of what ive/its got, only had it so far for just under 3months ...

- 2.5" Catback exhaust
- Exh Tech De-cat Pipes
- Yella Terra 4" MAF Pipe
- KN 4" Pod Filter *
- VCM-P CAI *
- MSD 8.5mm Leads
- PWR Trans Cooler
- Pedders Springs
- DBA 4048s Front Rotors *
- Bendix SRT Pads up front *
- 19" Genuine VY Signature Senators
- Updated Rear Tail Lights
- JVC Double-Din TV (AVX836 w/NAV)
- 6000k HID Low Beams
- 6000k HID High Beams
- 4000k Phillips Parkers
- "Wesley Snipes" Tint

( * recently added )

but big plans in the next few weeks that should be taking place,

made 215rwkw before I modified the airbox and did the de-cat pipes...

Future Mods:

- Cam w/ valve springs and lifters
- Rollmaster Dual Row Chain
- 25% UDP
- LS6 Inlet Manifold
- MV Auto's Shift Kit
- Stallie
- 3.9s or 3.7s


now im at the dilemma with what cam size with what size stally I should go etc

as have everything organized expect that at the moment, so its the only thing holding me back...

a mate has a 232/234 virtually brand new, but heard many mixed opinions bout that size cam for daily use for a ls1

would like to get as close to 300rwkw as possible tho...

so any help would be great as ive searched heaps but no1 really answers the questions properly haha!!

ill post some pics up tomorrow of it, as they all not on the pc ...

Cheers

well today some progress was made,

found out the size stallie I need to go for the 232/234

and MV Automatics here in Adelaide will do the work, as they have done work on my cars before and are simply the best!!

will be going a 10" converter, and it will be a 3000rpm size...

should be enough to bring the 232/234 up and alive..

and got organized today a set of DBA 5000xs rotors for the front and some bendix srt pads to go with it, as gotta do service next week and gotta do it at the same time,
they should be here next week if mate places order the late this week !!

so should hopefully have some bit over the factory DBA 4000xs that the hsv come with ....

and then after that ill get the edit done and get it out the way with ready for the cam, valve springs, lifters, roll master dual row chain, and udp

then should be set for summer for some fun =)

so stay tuned... =)

here is a quick side on pic I found on my phone, will take some better ones when I get a chance to get the dslr out ... =)

i love the vy maloo's, if i had the cash deffinatly would gone a maloo.. or a ute lol

mods sound good should go alright after that lol keen as for the pictures, sounds like a nice ride

 

[RVY-285]

yeh ive always wanted a maloo since I was a kid

and it was a toss up between a VU Maloo, VY Maloo, or VZ 6ltr when i was in the market

but couldnt go past my s2 vy loo !!

yeh hopefully bud... just have to wait and see, think similar setup been done plenty of times before so should be alright and see some good results =)

nice ute buddy 300 in a ls1 is hard to achieve without doing heads etc, i had a fairly decent cam back when i had my calais and only managed to squeeze 265 out of it so was still abit off
but that cam is abit bigger so you might get around 270 if tuned right see how u go

 

[RVY-285]

yeh thanks bud,

yeh it defiantly is dude,

in saying that I would be stoked with 270-290rwkw without doing heads,

dont know if the hsv's had different heads tho ... which i thought they did, so who knows .....

 

[dijm8]

end of the day its just a figure if it puts a smile on your face its all you need

whos doing you work on the engine ?

 

[RVY-285]

yeh thats it, which I hope it does hahaha!!

dunno at this stage,

as the cam is a mates, and he gotta try and find it first lol as it either at his mates workshop or at his lol!!

a good mate of mine has used alltrack for all his and the work qual is awesome...

What brand converter is MV Automatics using? He usually uses Alltorque converters (local Adelaide brand). They are a loose converter, ok for a race car but probably not the best for an everyday driver and definately will cost you numbers on the dyno if that's what your into. I speak from experience as I have one and know a few who have used them.

 

[RVY-285]

ummm i was more than sure they were using a dominator ??
