2010 MY10 VE SS-V
'03 Vy S

Hey guys,

Just bought a 2003 VY S Pack series 1 for myself today, it's a Holden by Design and has leather + Sunroof. Done 98,xxx km and I pick it up Friday :D

What do ya's think? What are some easy mods to increase a bit of power out of it? I'm guessing exhast, extractors would be the first things to line up, what about after that?

Cheers,

Zep

Thanks champ, paid $21k for it with 3 year premium warranty.

Km's are a little higher than others around but the leather + sunroof won me over:yeah:

Vy.

Nice seats, wish I had some!!
As for power, Add some Yella Terra 1.95 Roller Rockers, then exhaust.
Thats enough to give the VY a bit more Kick!!

VY CHRISSO do the Yella Terra 1.95 Roller Rockers come with the pushrods included as the VY series 2 have problems with the clearance needed for the pushrod recess closest in proximity to the rocker mounting post

Y/T Rollers.

VY03, yeh they come as a kit with new Pushrods(shorter), new mounting plates(saddles) and Bolts, They also include detailed instructions. If you can't have them fitted within 1.5hrs, their is something wrong!!.

I have heard of a problem with the series11 VY and the pushrod clearance.
If you look at the Raptor VY project car thread, Im sure we covered it in there!! Simply removing some of the Sloppy Holden Casting Dags is all it takes.
Must be sure to be 100% carefull when doing this because if you drop just one piece down the Gallery, you may as well pull your engine out, strip and clean it internally!! Best bet is to block all holes with rags etc and use a Vaccuum system to catch the bits as you break them off!!.
:thumbsup:

Some people say you need to change the valve springs or are the stock ones good enough to reuse

When you mean break off the bits of casting dags can you grind them off carefully or do it by hand
