- vs ute
Hey guys i come from a jap performance backround and have a small business in vic build import track cars, we got a vs ute as a work ute to hall engines and crap around and we are looking at doing a few mods to get some more punch out of this slug.
What i wanted to know was, is there anyone/workshops doing any back to back runs on the dyno with parts mods?
for example do a run when the car is stock, add exhaust and cold air and rerun, do comparison. add in some higher ratio rockers and a ecu tune and do another run and so on.
Just wanting to find a descent list of gear we can do with proven results as i seem to see a lot of "this exhaust gives 10kw" and "with cold air and yella terra rockers you could see 30% more power".
I want some raw data from people who have done these mods and have something to show the gains.
anyway some things we had in mind with out going into it to far.
-cold air set up
-extractors
-1.9:1 rockers
-plenum spacer
-ecu tune
we already have a 2.5" exhaust on it but cant stand the note these things put out, we call it the invisible car as it rumbles but as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator the noise just disappears hahaha.
also what are people using for tuning? any plug and play ecu's common for vs ecotechs? we have dyno facilities and everything, just need to know a descent combo to work with as we dont want to donate to much of our time researching an ideal set up.
Also if anyone has some of the parts above let me know as we would prefer to buy second hand gear than new stuff as its only a work thrasher.
Thanks for your time guys ill wait for some replies.
