:(  to the V6... all that power, bet ya dont know what to do with it all.. :lol:

:lol:

:)

haha its bloody frightning :lol:

its absolutely useless to be honest and even when sitting on the spot and pressing the brake fully and the throttle fully it just lifts the back end up abit and the auto gearbox says "no way" and it doesnt even attempt to spin a wheel (no lsd).

though i got into a local uni limestone carpark last sun morning at 4am with 5 people in it and it did some decent donuts, but without sandy surfaces it just wont do it hey :D

when i had the rb26 in the vl, i couldnt take off without spinning it, haha, and thats a 3.8L v6 compared to a 2.6L straight 6. go the v6 torque ;)

HAHAHA, thats some funny shit... it just goes to show how a small 2.6 L can SMASH big 3.8L motors!

when i first got the R32 I was a little scared, ONLY 2 L :(

BUT hey, my lill 2L can fight the big boys, :lol:

big desplacement is over rated... well in bogan cars anyhow! :)

hehehe,

SnAp Ya nEcK iN dA EcOTeK

(dont laugh that was in some guys sig from a commodore forum)

bwahahahahha.

LoL.....that's a classic.

Another, "C m3 FlY iN my GemINi" old, but still funny.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH rofl :lol:

some people just aint seen or been in anything better thats what it is. their parents own commodores/falcons/etc and they have never even seen a skyline or import in person except flying past on the street. they have low expectations, people shit em selves in the stagea cause they just dont expect it from a baby 2.6L pulling 1800kg.

the ecotec is a beast compared to a vb commo 202 carby monster B)

my first car was a vl turbo rb30et and my good mates owned a few vk v8s and they thought 3L bah shit my 5L is the bomb, it cains the mighty vk 6's so the rb30 must not be much better, but i sure changed both their minds, they sold em and both bought vl turbos hehe, so i got the rb26 and they where even more surprised as they grow up hearing "no substitute for cubic inches" and they thought their 3L's would kill my 2.6L, but they soon learnt :D

Your arguments are quite stupid really. Your comparing Performance tuned engines to Family car tuned engines. Whoever said they cant spin the wheels in VS V6 is full of shit plain and simple.

Saying that "big desplacement is over rated" points out your stupidity even more. Look at the FPV Typhoon. They're not little engines i can tell you that, and the HSV's etc etc. How about the Ford GT40 - That has a 5.4L Engine. Or how about the Mercedes Mclaren SLR The fastest automatic car in the world boasts a 5.5L engine.

Hell even the nissan 350Z has a 3.5 Litre engine; now thats not small considering that Holdens Alloytechs are 3.6Litre.

Your arguments just bring forward that indeed you yourself, are just as bad as the bogans.

my vs wont spin, trust me ive tried it a billion times in hope, and when i first bought it, it would but it must be the gearbox.

displacement is FAR from overrated, especially if you like drivability

thats why i dislike RB20's :D

displacement along with technology is a fantastic combination, and beleive it or not the position of the cam has little to do with 'technology' to all you LS1 haters :( hahah

im just getting my 900cc kawasaki ZX9R registered now (from the auctions) and boy can you feel the difference when you twist the throttle compared to a 250-600cc bike... both have the same ammount of technology in the engine (all around 160HP per litre N/A out of the box) but there is a world of difference...

forced induction + capacity + technology... now yer talking B)

when you quote someone... you actualy have to quote EVERYTHING they said in that sentance otherwise its realy easy to take things out of context like you've done.................

i think anything about VP-VR onwards has been 'reverse engineered' if you like so that they wont spin so easily, as its generally NOT what you want from joe publics family cruiser...

an early VN (series 1) is a different story, with a very short first gear and very punchy low down torque delivery (and god awful vibrations and axe sharpening sounds) they would generally absolutely fry the tyres if you put it in D (yes automatic) and took your foot off the brake and stamped on the accellerator... it will just sit on the spot making smoke

Ahhh isnt it the bogans thinking skylines are shit...

think you've got it the wrong way around...

ABS doesnt help either

I understand that every car off the line is different, but every single VS commodore ive come across can do a burnout.

What i mean is that their channeled Anger towards Skylines etc is just as bad as your channeled anger towards commodores/Falcons

End Talking from me

i would love to have a couple more litres of capacity, don't get me wrong but commadores are shit house. probably dependable but shit house.

back to original topic - couple of months ago i was at the lights in my gtr and got yelled at by people in a commodore " oooooh 4 cylinders of power" (sarcastically if ya didnt get it) then they start laughing.

i couldnt beleive it, i just shook my head :D

i generally hate commodores and commodore drivers, it's a hate/hate relationship

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
