VS Performance Uprades

[Dazza07]

Hi Everyone


I'm new to just commodores and i'm chasing as much information as i can
to improve the performance of my VS ute.

I'm a P plater so i am unable to supercharge or turbo my ute which is a bummer.

But i would like to do everything else i can to make my ute a like more fun to drive.

if anyone can help with information, prices, websites, magazines.

It would be a great help

There is a thread at the top of the VR/VS section called "Buick and Ecotec V6 Performance Upgrades". This should be a pretty good starting point for you. Also, welcome to Just Commodores.

gotta watch that your motor doesnt have more then 200kw when your done, thats the legal limit.

Brakes! Good brakes are as much of a pleasure to drive with as is more power...

Buy the lastest street commodores dude. They have heaps of power upgrades for 1000 bucks. The trend seems to be cia like a v6 supercharged setup or a mace engineering cia with pod filter. A set of extractors high flow cats and single 2 and a half. high ratio roller rockers (gives you more lift and duration on your factory cam). and maybe a few hundred spent on your trans for a shift kit(auto) or short shifter(manual). then a chip from chiptorque or come racing

I have a VS sedan, and am doing extractors, chip, air-filter next week. I'll let you know how it goes, and whether I think it's worth it in hindsight.

i've already got a chip extractors, but not a very good air filter.
and i couldn't tell you wether your upgrades will increase your performance as i has a dirty big bullbar on my ute atm which is being taken off.

but regardless it has a fair bit of grunt
