Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I was looking to spend the minimal amount of money for maximum increase, I didn't say i wasn't willing to spend a lot of money
I was told that putting a charger on an Ecotec is likely to blow the pistons out due to their cut down size...
is this true?
If so:
is it safe to run 8psi on a turbo?
Spaced you bastard when were you going to tell me you had rockers for sale!
i'd recommend the YT high ratio roller rockers as they are true roller rockers etc, i beleive that the FIT rockers are just remanufactured Holden rockers etc(this i've been told but you would need to check this on your own and no i don't work for YT).
I'm still debating wether or not to sell or put em on for a few months and sell for less down the track. It's a cheap power up. I would have told you but you were looking at going yella terra and because you cannot fit 1.91's and a cam I thought you'd give it a miss.
Okay, i just got off the phone and i'm being quoted $1400 to get extractors and a cat back exhaust with 3in tip fitted (including labor)
this sound right? Am i being taken for a ride?
One of the most valuable mods to any commodore is diff ratio. Get 3.7's or 3.9's fitted with LSD. It will make the most noticable difference than any other mod before forced induction.
My list had i had to do it all again in order would be.
1. Diff ratio with LSD.
2. 1.97:1 high ratio roller rockers.
3. Exhaust.
4. Aftermarket memcal.
The list goes on. But this is a good budget power plan to get started. All these mods will get you 14.9 to 15.3 1/4 mile time.
