Scotty's Garage - Episode 1 - Holden V6 Performance Tips

[@kennethsmith3260]

Wow'what a spin out!! I've been watching Scotty for ages but never seen the first episode. Came a long way since then Scotty...

[@2W0D3N]

10 years later scottys doing another Vn 🤙🏼

[@moisesjesus4000]

i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.

[@samuellionel4364]

@Moises Jesus Instablaster =)

[@moisesjesus4000]

@Samuel Lionel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@moisesjesus4000]

@Samuel Lionel it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@samuellionel4364]

@Moises Jesus No problem :)

[@blownhemi]

Thanks Bill, building up V6 Vengeance was a hell of a ride. sometimes i wanted to burn the bloody thing but we got it there in the end. I'm hoping to push out a new Scotty's Garage every two weeks or so. We'll see if I can hold to that.

[@sid280]

Scotty you bloody legend - BTW these cars aren't cheap anymore - I paid $1000 for my VN Wagon with no rego. Going to follow your basic advice and build it nice :)

[@blownhemi]

Thanks mate, it is a first time for me doing this stuff but I'll get better and bring the quality up too. Got some interesting plans for the future. :)

[@andypapa5258]

can you do more vidieos on Holden V6 Performance Tips and free mods

[@blownhemi]

@evilmonkey1911 My experience with the pod filter showed that the supercharged six cold air intake worked much better and didn't attract the vcops when you opened the bonnet. Fitting the extractors at home is doable but i had to jack up the motor in the engine bay (and remove the ps engine mount) to slip them in. but remember my car also had the aircon and power steer removed which gave me more room. Much easier if you've got a access to a hoist

[@blownhemi]

@ls1edit Bolts straight up, but if you have an auto V6 you need the auto V8 linkage on the throttle body for the kickdown cable (TV cable)

[@blownhemi]

Yeah, might have to build another V6 commy for shits and giggles.

[@robbieoshaunessey999]

Hay mate just brought a vz 2005 190lw calais its got 156 km on it thinking about twin tubro set up how much money would i be looking at to do at quality job

[@JETBYE]

Robbie Oshaunessey get an l67 and turbo that

[@TUFNFUN]

Will there be an episode 2 mate?

[@blownhemi]

@Stacuracy182 My VN was serpentine; what I had to do was run an idler pulley to replace the power steering pump and a shorter belt to eliminate the air-con pump. Some VN commodores sold in NZ had the option of no air-con so there are factory serpentine belts available in the right length. Yes, it's also possible to manualise the VS even with the overdrive. Again my VN was 4-speed auto and I had the ratchet shifter hooked up to that.

[@79UCTorana]

Sweet cus i got the V6 Power handbook with the best of V6 vengeance off a mate and was impressed at the detail of each run and the mods undertaken. I am planning on putting a V6 into my Torrie and then SC or turbo it one day.

[@blownhemi]

Grant, your falcon could have a 200ci or a 250ci six. In most cases it'll be a 250ci motor. Message me with the VIN or Engine number and I'll let you know what you've got. But generally, if you can remove the intake manifold you'll have the desirable 250 2V engine. Hope this helps.

[@ziggassedup]

very good first effort mate...i'll keep watching. cheers.

[@blownhemi]

@thatrandomguy1000 good question I've been a bit slack. I've got a few things on the go at the moment but not enough to make a video about. I'll need to do some more.

[@blownhemi]

@ls1edit Twin thermos? I wouldn't bother on the V6, the single one works well enough, but I did find if you disconnect it during a run the car will go faster. So an over-ride switch on the thermo fan isn't a bad idea.

[@blownhemi]

Yep, that's V6 Vengeance, but it was from Street Commodores not SM Commodores

[@1969Risky]

Scotty the next VN you do, you have to give this video a shout out!

[@darrylberryman9507]

Hi I have a vz commodore 3.6 having electric problems at the moment.I got to get the bcm reconditioned.The one screw holding it on the mounting keeps turning around and around.So I bought a rotory tool set.I am going to grind the head of the screw off.I need to replace 9 of the relays in the two fuse boxes If you no of how I can get them I would be happy.The relay is tyco V23134-K55-X406 92092444 12V IN 0513.I don't no if the performance tips for the 3.8 motor is the same as the 3.6 motor.I was happy to see video Thank-you.

[@blownhemi]

@guilmongrowlmon I haven't tried any of the off-the-shelf units, but more air is definitely better for these engines.

[@blownhemi]

Sorry mate, missed this while I was away at Summernats. A 65mm throttle body was worth around 1.5tenths down the quarter in my experience. If you've got a VR, make sure you also remove the plastic bellmouth from inside the back of the intake. It sits between the intake elbow and the manifold itself. That'll gain you an extra 1.5tenths. Sometimes you need to reset the ECU after this, let me know if it idles high and I'll tell you how. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@honestpat7789]

your videos have come a long way, still good here but - ever considered operating on the 3.6 alloytecs :P

[@blownhemi]

@grantyclark Sorry dude, I must have missed this comment, KZbin doesn't always tell me about all of them. The VS motor is different to the VN-VR motor but you probably know that. There are manifolds you can buy for the VS that will help but I'd start with extractors and exhaust, SC6 CAI, and some gears (3.45 or higher) first. Then you can look at rockers, or a camshaft for more power. but the real upgrades are going to be headwork and/or a stroker kit.

[@27five]

Hey bro. Having the gearing changed to 3:9, what will the affects be driving on the motorway. I'm a little late getting to grips with things lol. Any tips or things I can do to get my VP V6 moving a little faster. What you have mentioned though, does sound pretty decent.

[@napolianwas]

sweet vid cant wait to see more!!!!!!

[@pogly100]

3:56 epic Scotty - "Factory exhaust = pretty shit". Love it.

[@blownhemi]

They seem to find me. I paid $250 for my Valiant wagon and similar for my project ute.

[@brycetebeck3295]

Always good when deal’s like that find their way to you, I picked up a running and rego’d CM sedan A few year’s back for $600 (was gonna be a part’s car for my other cm) and about a month later some bloke offered me 5k (felt like shit saying yes but hey 5k is always handy)

[@honestpat7789]

@ScottysGarage Any idea where that VH ended up?

[@blownhemi]

I sold it to a guy in Melbourne who said he was going to restore it. I hope that happened.

[@honestpat7789]

@@blownhemi would love to see another one on carnage. All show was a beast too 👌

[@-DEATHSTROKE]

We need to go back to the L27 Scotty

[@ls1edit]

does the 5.0 ltr throttle body bolt straight up do u have to do any mods

[@thevpfreak]

how much do you think it will cost to stroker 3.8 v6 into a 4.2 v6 and what sort power gain will i get from it?

[@brianhoffman4861]

Thanks Scotty.. The only site that came up with a different answers to my Google. How to make a V6 commodore faster. And didn't come back with. Buy a ford..

[@freakyfrog4033]

Does the vx v6 2001 have a bellmouth in it to be removed, also am now looking at putting a cold air in take with growler, replace the throttle body to a 70ml and get some performance headers, that will be my start after checking this out, thanks, but yeah is there a bellmouth that needs removing on the vx v6 2001.thanks.

[@rachaelstevens196]

ecotec dosent have a bellmouth, only the buick 3800 form vn series 2 onwards

[@cannibaskid]

will these mods work on a 2003 vy, what model v8 can i get throttle body from.

[@MrGutsyHsv]

good video Scotty, well explained!

[@stafandjane]

Feel a lot better about my heads now, cheers!

[@redspotaudio]

A young Scotty. Oh my goodness. 😅

[@blownhemi]

Yep, even then I wasn't that young. 40 years old at this point.

[@alphaone3704]

Have you a vn or vp ex-chaser, 6 or 8 !! Please!! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

[@zmorello1]

Hey have you ever been to mildura

[@79UCTorana]

is this V6 Vengeance from Street Machine Commodores Magazine?

[@brycetebeck3295]

Sitting here in 2020 still paying $800 for a vn-vp, granted they going up in price even for clapped out one’s 💔

[@xbfalcon351coupe]

(continued) - the problem is the size of the ports and intake - they are huge compared to a std manifold which sounds good but it kills low end flow velocity - be good if turboed or whatever but a stockie responds well to a small turbo too - or, where you are, hit the junkyards and get a 302 or 351 or bigger - repower for very very cheap. I went 351 (bought a whole Fairlane) after I sold the car etc I actually made a profit on initial outlay, plus heaps of spares I scavenged...

[@grantyclark]

hey on my p's in nsw got a vs v6 A4 whats best mods and best brands to use? any info will be helpful thanks

[@evilmonkey1911]

gday mate just wondering whatcha rekon about whether a pod is better than a high flow panel filter with cold air kit? also do u have to put in heapsa fucken effort to remove and install some new extractors? your vids are nice as mate keep em up

[@automan031]

I have a vt Calais II ecotec v6, going to upgrade to a L67 later on. Are there any cheap mods I can do in the mean time to get more out of it? things that can be passed on to the L67?

[@jacobhughes1938]

so what cam is suggested if your going all out?

[@thatrandomguy1000]

when r u makin the next set of tips???

[@resn8r]

Awesome, keep these coming. :)

[@15IDKMYNAME15]

11 years later vns worth 5 grand plus

[@ls1edit]

and wat do twin thermo fans do thanks mate

[@maxdabator]

Ah how I wish they were still that cheap

[@ickers11]

where do you buy your cars so cheaply. the el bluebird was 100 bucks, the vn was 800??

[@tiara-leewilliams391]

Scott I will be doing some work to my Ecotec for power wondering what you’re suggesting would be IVE got 1500 to spend on it. Just want little more power but reliable?

[@blownhemi]

@tiara-leewilliams391 what year model Ecotec?

[@tiara-leewilliams391]

Vu Ute 2001 I think just want it to sound a little bit better and go a little bit harder

[@blownhemi]

@tiara-leewilliams391 I would start with some Pacemaker Extractors and a free-flowing exhaust

[@tiara-leewilliams391]

@@blownhemi will start will that also was ganna do a mace air intake and extractor back do you think that would be a noticeable difference and maybe cam and rockers and timing chain but don’t no if it’s worth it

[@tiara-leewilliams391]

@@blownhemiI think 250 at the hubs would be a nice achievement

[@xbfalcon351coupe]

Hi Scotty and Grant, firstly, splitting hairs, but if it came with a 6 it aint a GT...Anyway...my XB originally had a 250 2V and while they are extremely desireable its only cos of rarity.. true they are more powerful from say 3,500 rpm up but lower than that they are actually a bit more gutless than the std 6.. considering the rev range you'll normally be using thats like most of the time.. and to make things worse these motors don't like to rev so you're actually better off IMHO with std 6.

[@blownhemi]

@cannibaskid Won't work with VY Commodore, only VN-VR

[@wtfisthis2316]

Why not vs??

[@jacobedwards8412]

Vs is Ecotec

[@kakswell]

bring this old girl back after the taxi

[@mydogzty]

@thevpfreak try looking at some carforums to get an answer

[@ants3503]

And now supermang 👍

[@blownhemi]

Yep

[@leroydutchy8644]

hey mate, know this is a real old video but I'm wondering if this channel is still even active, if it is and you get this, wonder if you could drop us some hints as to beginning work a holden commodore v6, I'm on a little bit of a tight budget and still trying to gain that raw mechanical knowhow thanks mate

[@blownhemi]

I'm still active, but I'm preparing a new shed to build stuff. What do you need to know!

[@leroydutchy8644]

+ScottysGarage well its a 1993 holden executive and theres a few issues that i cant pinpoint in the ride quality, expecially at high speed, if my end goal is performance, (it is a commie and thats what they do best ahah) should i invest in a new suspension package? and what sort should i look at? also, with your mention to the air intake, is there any system or set up i should research wwith regards to cooling systems?...basically mate just wonderinh where the hell do i start ahaha, thanks

[@WILDSTYLEVOLATILE]

should do an ecotec performance guide!

[@ZacksScraps]

Brah that hectic breaks track. What was that?

[@ihmawrtl]

how much does this all cost roughly?

[@craigcarnachan7153]

VX or VT V6 Ecotec's are cool as .. Had a nasty as 6ltr Calias try to bet me across the Double round about Here in NZ and My Ecotec V6 sat on his Arse at 7000rpm , I was more than impressed untill the following straight where He slowly pulled away from My V6 .. Yes Hp rules lol

[@hinemoahaddon9699]

brother I Wana no how much it will cost all up

[@kiwipride513]

Have a look on Gumtree ive just bought a nice VP for 500

[@mickeynismocat]

ep 2?

[@seanedwards1838]

Insert rocky bobby, I DNO WHAT TO DO WIF MY HANDS hahaha

[@johncoops6897]

LOL @ >$1000 for ported heads!! Yeah, if you spend enough on the V6, you can make it almost go as fast as a stock V8.

[@auskilluminati333]

you look cute back than 😊

[@specialized29er86]

Speed is just a question of money, how fast can you go.

[@evilmonkey1911]

@blownhemi thanks for ya help mate

[@johnvarkevisser3510]

gonna cost you nothing to buy a car to start with,, lol look at it in 2021 now.

[@blownhemi]

Yeah the prices are crazy now. Look at the VN we bought for StreetMachineTV. We paid $4000 for that people said it was too much, now it's probably worth $10,000

[@yakksk6378]

ALRIGHT
