fastest vn v6 1/4 time

[scared_]

sic, love the nos! twood burn through the pocket pritty quick tho.
im getting my mums vn 5l mid next year and am going to aim for 12's and keep as a street car, daily drive, without forced induction...

 

[sircruisealotVS]

dude, seriously...12's in a n/a v6 is REALLY setting your sights high. and i honestly think it would be close to impossible for a street registered car.

i have stock v6 vn ran a 13.09 at 103mph help from nitrous 150 hp
i will be going back with a re done chip and an extra 50 hp of nos

ROFLCOPTER, Nice way to kill the poor old VN. LOL.

 

[PaRaDoX]

lol you'd be suprised mack i know someone who ran 10s in his vn calais v6 with 250hp shots of nos, it was N/A i think....

boost is the eastiest way to gain mega power and shed those seconds, and we all know it.. also cheaper than a full rebuild

I was talking to someone that did a 10.3 in a VN SS with a 150 shot on MSN the other night

Yeah.. my mate uleh had a fully sik VN with the NOS mate!
And a blow off valve mate
and ran his air conditioner into the intake mate.
ran 12s trying to run from the cops... sik as ay!?
i was like... maaaaaaaate
and he was all like... yeah fully!


(that was just jokes)

Seriously, the street commodores magazine had some project VN and they got it running high 11 sec passes with a rebuild and T04 turbo or something.
Spent only about 16Gs on the car and mods too, pretty cheap for an 11sec car.
Turbo is the way for cheap power, but like all cheap things, its also nasty.
Turbo power delivery is not smooth, its not consistent and its not reliable.
I'd choose a supercharger any day... but i guess there arent as many boost options with a blower.
Drag = Turbo
Street = Blower
Granny = N/A

why is a turbo not reliable?
if the person who set's it up know what they are doing it will make more power than blower setup same boost
why are all the quick ls1 turbo ?
no problems there

For drag racing i find turbos to be fine. just from personal experience i found turbos to be less reliable than their blower counterparts.
If i had a dollar for every turbo i know of that has blown a seal, seized up, blown gaskets and engines, caused massive heat and exhaust pipe problems etc etc....
I guess a lot of it can come down to the attitude of the drivers too, turbo's do inspire the hoon in most of us.
Turbos are a very good easy and efficient source of power, I just personally prefer a SC.
