How much boost can my commodore take?

[jakescicluna]

I have a 2013 sv6 ve series 2, I believe these are the details of the engine; HOLDEN COMMODORE SV6 VE -VE 3.6L PET LFX V6 24v DOHC VVT Direct Inj {210kW}. I was wondering if anyone knew how much boost the engine can take, and a relatively safe number to run the boost at. Thanks.

Depends if you intercool or not. Are you going turbo or SC?

Haven't fully decided on super or turbo yet, most likely turbo. But it will probably be intercooled.

Talk to Tonyz Turbo Garage, he will give you the right information and tell you your options.

may not matter boost wise it will be how far u can go on the stock direct injection before fuel runs out first, DI has a very small window for fueling

Do it LT5 style, DI and port injection.

7 psi to start, then page up

You’re better off just getting an ss and supercharging it. Otherwise if you want a turbo 6 just get a Barra car

Capa do a supercharger kit for LFX motors - expect around 300rwkw with a cam & stock internals

if you start tinkering with the internals (pistons, valve springs etc) you can get more rwkw - but it won’t be cheap when compared to a V8
