[@Cliffy1616]

@T D I mean it’s cool to see something different. But as others have said those times don’t mean a whole lot. Especially when a lot of those cars you’ve listed would likely absolutely rocket past it if they were to keep going faster over a longer stretch and a lot likely struggle for traction because they’ve got more power. Again not knocking the Supercharged V6 because it’s cool to see, just I wouldn’t say those times hold a lot of relevance.

I love my SV6. I was in the market for a used 911 when I decided to buy my SV6 in 2019. Back then you could get one with under 50,000 kms for around $23,000 drive away. My plan was to supercharge it and end up with a sleeper quicker than a stock 911. I ended up digressing from the supercharger and went cams, exhaust, tune, throttle controller and otrcai. Less than half the cost of the supercharger, complete stock look under the bonnet except for the otrcai and heaps of fun. I’ve had fast cars, wrx’s and currently an FK8 Type R. The SV6 feels sneakily fast and handling very good for a family sedan. I often wonder what a Commodore would be like now if Holden had stayed in business……..

[@RossReviewsau]

They are a beautiful car the Vf definitely a future classic and can be made to drive really well eh!

Love this thing sounds mental for a dohc V6 its not farty or trumpety like you'd expect from an LFX or any DOHC V6 Some valve springs, cams, new stainless piston rings, smaller charger pulley for more boost a larger intercooler and didicated E85 tune I reckon the owner could possibly crack the 400kw mark

[@RossReviewsau]

that would be epic to see

[@MrShturck]

got a set of forged rods and pistons on the way aswell as a 16psi pulley, once the pistons are in the pulley gets swapped then ill be working on the fuel system, might do a hybrid so i can run e85 aswell as u98, my ultimate plan is to reach 400rwkw so i may just make another channel and make videos on the journey chasing the number idk yet

Prochargers style blowers are a more linear feeling and gain more power as rpm build. Where as the roots style blower on the top of the motor give that wack of torque at the bottom and tend to die off of the top end.

Yup spot on Dylan! Was interesting to say the least

I've got a growler and the centre section pipe from an ssv on mine..maybe goes a bit better than stock (runs on 98) and def sounds better ..cheaper option. Ute is my daily.. I tend to throw my money at the weekend car. They go pretty good from factory really for a 6. Putting a solid flywheel on makes a big difference..revs a ton faster. If you really wanted to go turbo/procharge etc you'd want to bolt in a tr6060.

[@hayden6056]

they ran 4 psi of boost stock which is 4 psi goes in to a bar 3.65 times. Divide the stock Ecotec kW by 3.65 you get 41 kws. There's a 20kw difference between the two , the supercharger is out of its effeciency range. 20kws isn't bad for driving an old roots style blower.

[@hayden6056]

With an exhaust , OTR and tune a lot of guys are making 200-220 rwkw. this is running 7 psi of boost. 7 psi goes into a bar 2.1 times , 47.61% of a bar. 42% increase in power which means 5% of the power should be driving the blower 15 kW. more modern blower and not far off the amount of kws it takes to turn the Eaton.

Holden power enough said.

[@lightningstrike5024]

crazy to me that ppl shit on the alloytec despite so many other popular cars having the same or worse issues

[@RossReviewsau]

just get a LS

[@chithigunatilake5524]

Do you still have the high LFX redline with the supercharger?

[@RossReviewsau]

yup redline didn't change i believe

[@mittsy8394]

I had a VE sv6 with a lfx 2013 motor as I blew the first gen lfx in my 2012 VE, beautiful car sold it earlier this year did a few motor mods on p plates ran the exact same exhaust with extra package to keep it a bit more quieter and lot less droney. Was tuned to 220rwkw before I blew the clutch and then motor so ended up putting a xr6t clutch in and a new motor obviously. Used to run older 8s all the time with a 0-100 of 5.6secs. Pretty quick for a 18 year old on my p2s in Australia

[@rabbitolychee6395]

5.6 is what my stock 335i e90 does and I'm on my p2's lol.. I'm now in the mid-high 3's 0-100 with a 11.16 1/4 at Brissy's raceway

[@harleyplummer3338]

What kind of pricing am i looking at ? I got the v6 storm ute , wouldnt mind going this way with it

[@RossReviewsau]

easy 10-15k

[@osrsoutdoors]

cost me 9.5k for the kit install tuning + maintenance

[@MrHC1983]

Then...... you have to insure it. Easier and maybe cheaper to just buy the VE/VF SS.... and throw a custom cam and springs in it... maybe better rods (nothing else) can you'll make pretty much the same power or more..... and then it will look 100% factory and then for insurance well.... no massive supercharger under the bonnet etc. Like I did my cam myself and tuning etc.... Your looking like $1000-3000 depending on tools or whatever you might need/don't already have etc. Pretty cheap.

[@MrShturck]

but on the same token this car gets on average 5 - 6l/100 fuel economy on 98 pump so highway cruising and long distance it is alot cheaper to run than any v8, not to mention that not everyone wants a v8 some people want and are willing to try something different.

[@Low760]

Still doesn't sound very good. Has the box been replaced with a 6l80e? The 6l45 will not handle the power. The VF is a great car though

[@RossReviewsau]

Stock box 📦 can’t expect much better noise for a SV6 tho

He’d be pushing 350rwkws if he had an intercooler. CAPA also has one.

[@MrShturck]

it has an intercooler, i asked the shop to not exceed 300rwkw as the pistons can only handle roughly 500hp, got a set of forged rods and pistons on the way once theyre in ill be running 16psi

[@vinsmau531]

@@MrShturck may I ask where you’re getting your forged rods and pistons from? I want to do exactly to my SV6 what you did to yours.

[@MrShturck]

@@vinsmau531 mace engineering do a set of forged rods and pistons just make sure you get a proper engine builder to I stall them as it's not as simple as just throwing a set of forged rods and pistons in and sending it

That's right, 5.55 IS pretty fast. I totally get it, it's a daily, you don't wanna ruin it with overly track-ambitious suspension mods.

Does it have bigger injectors and fuel pump? If not, 300rwkw is a massive gain for just 7lb boost and an exhaust.

stock fuel system, only mods done in terms of power are exhaust cats and supercharger
