CAI (waste of dosh) S/S headers, S/S exhaust, piggyback ECU S/C or turbs.

why is cold air a wast of time for the VZS?
i wouldnt worry about going genuine holden parts unless you are worried about voiding your warranty

What sort of dollars for a TC or SC ...

And is the motor strong enough to handle one???

I would expect that if forced induction was added the CAI would almost be essential

Quick Question:

What sort of horespower gain would i be expecting if i added the following on the 5-speed auto sv6

- High flow air filter
- ss induction CAI
- Performance exhaust system (incl. headers and high flow cat. converter)
- Remaping to suit above mods.

probably around $3-5000 sc
and you could probably pick up a second hand turbo that will suit for 2000 including accessories

I think the question was how much gain power wise???

I am guessing but maybe

CAI and filter 5-10 rwkw's
Exhaust including CAT 5 - 10 rwkw's
Total 10 - 20 rwkw's
Remapping of above mods maybe all up 30 rwkw's if you are lucky

Does that sound about right??

basically they make fark all gain for 600 bucks or whatever ss inductions is trying to flog them for. Better to save 200 more bucks, and get a piggyback memcal ecu which you can switch over from factory to performance settings. HSV/metro in Adelaide will fit one for around 900 bucks, give or take.

Id say a full exhaust (headers to tip) and a piggyback ecu id say 40rwkw. D and T Performance say thats pretty much on the buzzer

 

[Blonk]

Is there no software available to remap the factory ECU???

Exhaust sounds like first mod at this stage, thanks guys
