HSV haven't had any "dramatic", really "NEW" stuff for a while now.....I reckon the S/C engine will happen this year.
What do you guys think?

It would be nice,the ve hsv range could really use a new power plant to spice things up.
I'd love it.
Also having superchargers fitted to factory Holden models would make it easier to fit an aftermarket blower and get it approved.
If it ever happens i'd say it would be limited to the GTS. I wonder how much it would drive the price of them up but.
Damn, already bought the supercharged V8 from the other team as the weekender....oh well not complaining!:hide:
Well, I guess the E3 is the last of the E series (unless the new engine brings E4), why not go out with a bang.. VF to kick off the MY13 towards the end of this year maybe...
Maybe it will just be added as a tickbox option from Holden when you buy the GTS.. keep it low brow. Oh and by the way you can now order your GTS Supercharged.
Maybe not?????Quote:

Ah the annual "Holden will bring out FI hsv's this year" thread...
Agreed!:yup: Would be a great move for HSV........think its been said more than once on this forum, the models are too similar in output.Quote:

cheers
Can't see this engine as an "option"...I reckon it'll be a stand alone model.
Cheers, Pickles.
Pickles, they need you down at Clayton!:yup:................a man of vision!Quote:

I would love to see a supercharged HSV but I think it needs to be priced competitively.
IF HSV bring a supercharged GTS to the market for $95,000 and I can buy a SC ford for $60,000 how many do you think they will sell?
I think it is time holden and HSV stopped playing games and deliberately restricting engine output eg L98 has superior heads but shitty cam to make it less powerful than LS2. Why?! Market placement in the lineup??? I think that is the type of BS that is sending holden broke.
Why not make a hero car that is cheap and powerful, sells by the 10 thousand, puts smiles on lots of people's faces, and makes holden some much needed $$$$$.
JJW
cos it just wont happen ......
Because there will always be people willing to spend the cash...
if they do itll cost a shed load and holden needs to be able to sell models with profit...and alot. Something that maybe new to them...but FI would be good...as long as its price competitive with FPVs for a change....we get ripped off over and over...for slower cars with less potential...comon holden...do it
HSV has no problem selling cars now even with Ford having a better powertrain. It makes no sense financially to sell them cheap and devalue the brand more so than it already is. Sux I know. But that's how it is.

Ha ha ha....Sounds pretty right to me......particularly the last part of the last line!Quote:

Plus if the bring out the supercharged version now, what are they going to top it with next year? You cant keep increasing power forever as the driveline wont handle it. Expect only "minor" power increases in the coming years.
Too young to remember 1999, when the VT series 2 executive with v8 option ticked, had more power than a VT Series 1 Clubsport?
If anyone isn't keeping up with the current Ford Supercharged V8 + aftermarket intercooler developments, just pray that Ford doesn't come out with an intercooler from the factory.
Wow!!

Yes, and, very neat too.
However, if HSV use the LSA engine, it will comfortably achieve HSV's objectives, and I will simply say (because this thread ain't about HSV V FPV), that it's power output will be "adequate"....IMHO, of course.
Cheers, Pickles.
So what have heard of an "unofficial" nature then.Quote:

The very reason why I purchased the GT over the HSV was for the powertrain, I am currently investigating Autotech's upgrades for the beast, especially after reading some of the results over on AFF and for very low cost.
The downside was the suspension to a degree but with some minor upgrades and wider rears I think I will have a pretty good setup.
Just gunna keep the SSV and the daily!!!
we talking the LS9 thats been available for a few years?

Compared to the price of a supercharger kit and then you sell off your existing motor, this looks like good value !
Stuff waiting for HSV to release a blown model.
