Seems to have some grunt at the end though. Definitely not stock!!

is that cuase the turbo taking the footage inst boosting it too keep up cause ive had a little squirt with 1 of these and it had a mod chip and a zaust and well he came of 2nd best by heaps

yeah monaros :D are hell slow!! altho 300kw gto might cook :D

all commodore fags say, "its been chipped" ... wankers :D

sorry by 1 of these i ment commodoor it wasnt the monaro it was a VX ss ... he also didnt want to tell hte the KW reading claiming he hadnt had it dyno'd

which me and my mechanic talked and said if u spent that much on chip and exhaust its definatly been on a dyno

ummm...correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason that commodore owners say "it's been chipped" is in reference to the Delco ECU's used in all the 3.8L V6 motors, where tuning is done by replacing a memory chip (memcal).

Not to be picky, but "it's been chipped" is a pretty darn accurate decription...

then again thats before LS1Edit came out, and people started tuning gen3's, which don't use a memcal

Yeah, can't really agree there either. The LS1 is an absolute animal of an engine, but in a different way so are the RB engines.. so don't take that as the signal to start yet another brickwall debate about the two. Madaz you said it's torque isn't too bad, but actually its the other way around.. at release the ls1 was heavily criticised for it's lack of torque and the way its power grew with revs.. so imagine when you accentuate that effect with a cam!!!

As for the sound of the car, personally I think it is the shithouse low-frequency response of the video camera's microphone that makes the v8 sound not too great.. I bet if you heard that in real life, it would be easy to appreciate. Also, as for monaro's being slow, this particular one obviously has a decent cam which can be heard from it struggling to idle... LS1's get bloody huge power figures from just a cam and the usual supporting mods.

(Please RB lovers, don't perceive this as an attack on jap motors, but it's the truth... a half-decently built 5.7L better make some power!!!!)

when i said about torque im going by a car i know nothing about for all i know it had a cam for all i know it may have gone like a bat out of hell with a better cam

i did complement him on his choice of exhause it sounded very crispy and had that down rev burble :D

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
