250kW VF SV6 .......... now there are two

[mpower]

Most recent trip to Willowbank wasn't too successful I'm afraid due to a few issues

Was unable to crack 14sec but still managed consistent times

More updates coming soon with new suspension and wheels/tyre and brakes.

that's a shame I expected this beastie to do a bit better - was that an issue with weather/track?

Didn't crack 14sec with 255rwkw? I know my car is boosted but before i had the reco it was pretty stock with a 9 or 10psi blower and even i ran very low 14's with a tired old motor. And though iv never had it on a dyno to get a power read out i'm pretty sure i had less than 200rwkw at the time. What issues were you having?

Yes I was a little disappointed too however this is the fun of racing ! Expect the unexpected.

There are currently two big issues

1- lack of traction both off the line and through each gear ... remember this is on factory rubber and 20" rims
2- we still have an issue with the new clutch setup where the diaphragm over centres at high rpm and the peddle sticks to the floor and as a result I am short changing at 6000 - 6500

Thats a grate result at 250rwkw @ 369 NM Toq is a bit down from a V8. I have @ VE LFX 2012 sv6 it has a Orsom OTR , 13mm mace intake spacer and 20% under drive pulley CNC Ported throttle body and a 2.5 cat back exhaust and tuned by oztrack NSW Remotely. Made 209rwkw and 431 NM Toq here @ BYE Performance Chassis Dyno here in Welshpool WA. We both need more toq as toq is what wins 1/4 miles drags.I did a 14.61 sec 1/4 mile at Perth Motor Plex last Dec 2015 and I have the paper work for the dyno and 1/4 mile times

Great results! Being the guinea pig for these cams in my LLT I understand the potential. Unfortunately never really reaped the full reward from the mods due to early tuning software limitations. I never saw anywhere near that power though even having it rev to 7k. Only ever saw 190rwkw on the dyno. Benefited greatly from a 3.72 diff and it still got to 100 in 5.9 seconds. Great job!!

Anyone have any idea on how these cars are doing longevity wise and reliability wise!?
