v6 power

[fastestls7]

how are the girlies going getting power out of their v6. or should have they saved theitr money on mods and bought a v8

[brentonsav]

che did some tuning recently and the software is available
you will spend more than the difference at purcahse getting it to 6L speed however, but small gains can be had. good luck

[fastestls7]

me not have one dude. got a SS. just wondering how the v6 was developing

[vzss8]

ummmmmmmmmmmmm.BUY THE VVVV8888:driving:

My previous car was a BA fairmont 6cyl 4spd automatic (not quite a v6 but similar lol). Didn't dyno it but I reckon it was producing close to 160kw at the wheels. It was good enough to run the quarter mile in 14.8 seconds, even with a crap 2.48 second 60ft launch (lots of wheelspin). With a 2.2 or 2.3 I would have run a 14.5/14.6 second 1/4 mile. Anyway, it wasn't fast enough for me so I sold it. Will be getting an SS or an XR6 Turbo next and aiming for the 13s :driving:.

[Boom]

Ummmmmmmmm. LS1 = V8 ............6cyl? Whats that?

[VX2VESS]

v6's go well, keep up with stock v8's for a bit. extractors exhaust tune them make a good street car. you don't need 400 hp for the street, can't use all that power legally on the road.

V6 are noit lacking for the street, racing that another matter, can go further i think i heard ST is doing a turbo or twin turbo for them. that would be good knock off most of the v8's then

[VenomX-87]

yeah if you want more power for youre V6 look at the 1989TTA (Turbo-Trans-Am) it had the same 3800 V6 that was used in the VN with a fue little upgrades it was putting out factory rated 250HP (under rated)
Get all the stats of that car and boost youre stock 3.8L to 250HP+

There was actualy a kit you could buy, id say someone in Australia would have something similar.

Well Girlie, I have a V6 daily, that ain't modded at all,and I don't intend to either as it goes quite nicely. But my weekend Toy has a real V8!:wave:

[Ricky]

My old VS V6 made 198rwkw and was a very good match for most bolt on LS1's.

[Angelo_XLR8]

Well i dynoed my Vy V6 running PULP again and got 115rwkw 152rwhp. thats not bad for naturally aspirated i rekon.

running
-Pacemaker headers
-SS inductions CAI
-2.5' Lukey sports catback system
-K&N filter


its no eight but its low loud and fun to drive. my next saving goal is a VY Clubby

[T_Kiwi]

hey cmon guys be nice, i have a v8 twin turbo but also a v6 and thats soon to be twin turbo too with luck going my way. I drive the v8 down the 1/4 mile and the missus will drive the v6 down :)

My car is great, practical and delivers enough punch for most occasions. The 3.8 has plenty of power for me. 0-60km there wouldn't be great difference between a most V8 and V6 Holdens. I have better things to spend my money on.

[lsi vy]

fastestls2 i had a v6, i bet id beat most ls1 ls2 cars on the road and maybe yours. i ran 11.4 @118 mph you call that girlie

[PSI38L]

here is a pic of my V6, good for 300+ KW @ wheels.

Impressive!

[fastestls7]

you must be a girlie you seem to be crying that youve got a v6. relax max. but if you must. come and see in about 12 months when ive finished building my 1600 hp blown 67 mustang.the engine is being built in the states. and you can eve bolt 2 v6 together

[Danv8]

you must be a girlie you seem to be crying that youve got a v6

What a charmer.

[CrazyAussie]

G'day
PSI38L that is very impressive mate well done and have you seen the new twin throttle body from COME racing
There are a few stroker kits available for the V6 which will make the V8s look twice, then if you boost them just sit and wait till they catch up LOL:driving:

[jerrel]

im happy with my v6...i dont concider myself a girlie...if u think other wise come over to my place and we'll compare the length of our shlongs.

Youve turned this into a bit of a pissing contest mate, there was a v6 in the s/c mag not long ago that looked pretty mean. psi38l, thats a nice looking ride you got there mate, well done.

A guy i know has been doing alot of development with whipple superchargers and an ecotec. up too about 330rwkw. should be some more in it too.:thumbsup:
Jake,

[vy storm]

I recently had my vy v6 ute dynoed an it dynoed at 124.6 rwkw which is pretty good considering it only has a cat back 21/4 duel exhaust!! And its run 15.4@89mph but i had a pod filter in a custom air box when i ran that time. But i only drive a v6 because im on p plates!! They are definatly a waste of money as far as mods go!

[Swordie]

Typical, the V8 boys have turned this into mine is bigger than yours. People with V6's don't need to brag. :)

[Boom]

But fellas. Its a V8 Holden Forum. Talk about 6s or frauds at your own peril.

[O5BRKY]

What a charmer.

Or LOSER!!:p

Oh yes where all girlie's as we have dailies as V6's,that's why my real toy's have V8's.

Its actually an LS1 and Holden forum.

[Mungrel]

and all this time i thought the point of this forum was to help each other?
Leave the bagging to the ford drivers.

[CrazyAussie]

ok then if this is a V8 forum why has there been so many responses to the Diesel Commodore, I for one love the idea of holden looking elsewhere for power to drive there cars. i can only hope that we will all be able to see it happen at a reasonable price.:driving:
i love my V8s as i grew up with them as all young blokes with testesterone flowing through there body would but as stated in a previous thread the V6 is pulling more power than the older V8s.
The V6 has a "V" in there also just like the V8:dancenana:

Ha Ha Ha You will never build that thing:serenade:

Even if you do, i will still blow you away:thumbsup:
