VS V6 Peformance upgrades for p plater

[Joey2016]

Hi all,
I was hoping that you would be able to help me choose what to do on my vs v6 commodore to increase performance but keep within p plate limits.
I was thinking extractors with hi flow cats, injectors and k&n filters.
any help would be hugely appreciated

Hey mate , welcome in , I'm not at all sure of P Plate rules in Australia , but might I suggest you have a gander at Mace Engineering's website , they are sponsors here as well , they offer a range of V6 performance mods , what you have suggested would be a good start , but in reality don't expect to get huge gains , it'll make your car more fun to drive .

good luck . :beer chug:

I don't want to change to much as I don't want un wanted attention, so I might stick to lowering it and interior stuff!
thanks

Injectors are a waste of time as the stock ones are not a restriction on an stockish N/A setup, not to mention you would need a tune adjustment for them.

There's nothing wrong with the paper panel filters, gains from a K&N filter will be marginal at the most. In the same way, a bigger throttle body is not needed as the stock one is not a restriction, and again will require a tune adjustment to compensate for the extra flow of air for the same amount throttle.

If you want bang for buck, roller rockers and an exhaust will probably do the trick (not sure if it meets your P-plate requirements), but apart from that there's not a whole lot of potential without investing a lot of money.

Diff, trans and remote tune is probably the best for a P-Plater. You'll get a noticeable increase in pickup without any more ponies, and a shift kit/vette servo + chip will get the trans out of factory retard mode.

If you keep the car for a while you'll claw most of the dollars back in fuel savings. I saved $1k in 12 months back in my N/A days. I've since reversed those savings and then some, lol.

You're not allowed to modify anything. Cold air intake and catback you should get away with but they won't really give you any power at all.

They go pretty damn well anyway, especially for a first car.

You say you don't want attention then state you will lower it.

That will attract attention along with the P plate.

Just drive a stock car and cut your teeth until you are a fully licensed driver.

remote tune is probably the best for a P-Plater.

Yes, I forgot to mention a mail order tune.

Hit up The1 or Delcowizzid for a mail order tune, excellent bang for buck. Don't bother with ebay chips, ebay tunes are generally regarded as garbage.

Ok why would you be wanting any of the above? About the only thing you can legally do whilst you have P plates is the diff ratio. There is a thread on this subject we prepared earlier here -> http://forums.justcommodores.com.au...lems/237974-p-plater-section.html#post2684661
