Diff Choices For My VZ

[andyman]

Each to his own, Andrew.

lol you didnt get the joke haha, that diff i was talking about is the one youd be buying....

 

[greengoose999]

the ss had a 3:08 i thought. most people i know of with the ss go to the 3:9s.
i put a 3:08 into my sv6 man ute and i like it so far.

im looking into getting these changes when i put the SV6 in for a VCM tune.

So 3.7s would do well?

P.S. where would i look into buying a set, and would i be able to get them put in by whom ever does my tune?

anyone know about this? not sure if i was ignored, or if no one knows? :unsure:

p.s. thanks for the stock ratio though. :thumbsup:

 

[andyman]

id probably look at 3.46 max for the sv6's particularly the 6-speeds

 

[GTRwilson]

this be a 5-speed. That change anything, or you still think 3.46?

 

[GTRwilson]

thought id bump this again in hope of some answers.

What price tag am i looking at for a set of 3.46 diff gears in my VZ SV6? They will be going in when i get my tune done(probably at Hi-Torque) can these guys do them both at the same time? anyone done this and got a rough cost?

TOP choice of workshop, Hi Torque both tuned my car and later fitted my diff gears.

tune is around the $900 mark, diff gears to fit & tune only, cos i supplied, was $495.(over a yr ago)

you would have to ring and chat to Kent about current prices

 

[GTRwilson]

got their number still mate?

also, are brand new gears worth the extra money over a 2nd hand set, or a recoed 2nd hand set? what are they $300-$500 second hand?

i believe the next step for you would be 3.7, ss's had 3.46 from factory

ss autos had 3.08 from factory vt-vz. For hwy km's i'd go 3.46= 2050rpm/100kmh with a good improvement in driveability while having good economy on the hwy still. 3.46 are readily available too as they were factory fit for vt2-vy2 ss manuals as many have upgraded to 3.9 or 4.11 cause 6th gear is so tall. vz ss manual sedans (ls1) has 3.73 standard while the utes had 3.46. 06 6l vz's all had 3.46 (manual).
Cheers

did the diff ratio change for vz? i thought the ratios were v6: 3.08 (auto and manual) v8: 3.08 (auto) 3.46 (manual) (( these obviously being standard and not taking into account special order))
