In the link above, there are 3 cars, 1 VF2 Redline Wagon, 2 x Clubsport Wagons.

In each of these 3 cars, they use the LS3 but ultimately, they are a fair bit different.

Does anyone know what is different about each of the 3 different LS3 Engines?

Just how much better is the 325kw LS3 engine?

Thanks

Not as good as the 340kw Clubsport R8 engine.

Same engine, it's just different tunes and exhausts isn't it?

What do they do to get the 317kw LS3 to 340kw? What is different about the 325kw to 340kw upgrade?

317kw version had the same exhaust midsection as SS, SSV, Redline.(Holden midsection, HSV mufflers)
325kw version had HSV 2.5" full exhaust.
340kw version added a Bimodal intake.

I was under the impression that all the clubsports had the bimodel exhausts? Am I wrong in assuming Bimodal intake and exhaust is the same thing?

It's a different thing

Good to know, thanks. Do the clubsports all have the bimodal exhausts?

Only the R8 SVs I think

Intake on the way in
Exhaust on the way out!

Ssv only gets log exhaust manifolds,hsv gets the tri y headers,apparently the 340kw gets 2.5 inch collectors and cats as opposed to 2.25 for the others.
