Check out my updated one, Amyl nitrate woodhill forestczcams.com/video/luaJfwBLtEI/video.html. I actually broke my collar bone at the end of that ride....But what an awesome ride!!!!!Filmed, starring and edited by me!! Been riding 1 year. Co-starring my dog Chico!! Woodhill forest NZ. This is just me in my zone!!By the way i broke my collar bone but my bike is OK!! Yeah rock on. Other vids insp...
😂😂😂
I had the same mods on my vs statesman plus msd ignition coils bigger throttle body and pace maker extractors. What i didnt like is that it caused a big flatspot and hesitation on, off idle throttle response
Btw i love that induction sound!
Hi man. I had to rewatch your vid. I finally got the 69 mm tb and im gonna fit the throttle body on sunday. Order the ecu etc. Im hoping mine goes as good as yours? Im dying to get it all done! I just copied your advice! Top job! Cheers 👍
Hey man gotta say this is my go to vid when I’m lookin on what to do next to my vu, but I ordered a radiator hose kit and it’s got the u bend hose and I can’t for the life of me find when it attaches😂 any help would be much appreciated
Get a mace cold intake
Why spend all that money and not upgrade to msd coil packs
Hahaha my stock Barra with no mods and just a ecu reflash will smoke that peice of shit go get a supercharged v6 then at least you’ll be making near the power of a n/a barra
Yuk that exhaust wtf
Cooler 😂 radiator mate radiator
hey bro hows the car going now can you do an updated video
Fkn hell that’s a monster. Loves it G❤️
That intake sounds alright
It's good to see you gained power, I used the manifold spacers, high ratio rockers their larger throttle body but only lost power. Im hoping when I get some cash together I might get the power back with a tune. If not then it's going to be turbo time sooner than later
Hey I’m doing the same mods as you I’ve got the throttle body performance Memcal and soon a top spacer and a cat back oh and the heigh voltage coils what do you recommend next? Love your car btw 😅
Nice, if you can manage, definitely put extractors on. Not to hard to install. Get a shop to weld them up. Get the big basics ticked off. And just checked you have uninterrupted flow with the spacers. I had to do a little grinding to remove protruding lips on joining surfaces. To do that you'd have to remove air inlet manifold. Highly recommended to put some high quality, mace gaskets. Cheaps ones can shit themselves around the coolant channels. I had two sets nearly break through. Thanks dude:)
What fuel rail system are you running mate
nice mate, cant wait to get some mace mods!
what state are you in? my state stuff like this is sadly not allowed
Me same just topped off with MSD coils l67 throttle body mace cold air T5 with exedy pacemakers no cat 3.08 LSD larger plenum spacers tuned Memcal see profile pic.
Hey bro have you got Snapchat I’m looking at a 3.8 with mace mods and more I just wanna show you and get a second opinion
So what do the spacers actually do can you notice anything
Would these mods fit the vs commodore engines
Hey there, I suggest consulting with Mace engineering on trade me or eBay. Very good to deal with and will answer your questions.
Also why didn’t u buy the mace engineering intake kit instead of doing a dodgy cut that doesn’t do shit which if u think u get better airflow your and idiot cause u haven’t got that much power 😂
U barely showed any mods and u said you’ve done most, from what I’ve seen you’ve done the ezy mods and barely close to most of the mods
Bro did you watch the video or know what you are looking at 😂
Is u were sitting at half on the temp with a standard thermostat then you haven’t got your cooling system running right cause mines always sat at quarter with my cooling system running perfect so what u said made no sense plus I can see coolant leaking where your thermostat sits 🤣
Do you know the actual temperature as you may still have a cooling issue somewhere. They need to be bled of air correctly, same with the flush and refill procedure for that matter. What coolant was used and at what ratio?
Sounds good mate
The best v6 commy is a standard v6 commy.gm knows better
If you still have to car should make other video of what else you have done
Hi . I have exact same setup as yours, just not as nice and polished. But it goes great. I setup the CAI. Cutout the inside bonnet so I can close it.i put insulation ( factory) stuff back in the hole as it was getting hotter on plenum chamber top. It still gets quite warm that I can put my hand on it but not too long. I put the 82 degrees Celsius thermostat as well. Different car. Now I need 69 mm throttle body and remapped ECU. Sorry for the dumb question. But do you still get heat on the top plenum chamber like me? I was thinking about cutting a slot of insulation to help it breathe? I'm clutching at straws now? Any reply appreciated cheers.🙂👍👍👍
IV done the 69mm throttle body how can I get that sensor emcal one you said u had it modded
Contact MACE engineering. You will need to inform them also if any mods you have done if I remember correctly.
Hi just a quick question? I fitted my lower 25 mm manifold ecotec V6 spacer. Problem I have is 3 mm out of line with My intake runners on manifold. How did yours line up? Because now I have to port the spacer to get a even flow. Really knocked the wind out of my sails! Any reply appreciated. Cheers
Yeah I did port my heads basically just the casting line removal and made exhaust symmetrical. Then I had to do a bit of a port with the lower manifold spacer. Nothing major, I just didn't want a lip in the way. Just use carbide bits, and slowly take the lip off. I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but it's not hard to do. If course, you would need to remove the manifold. I found it was worth doing anyway, as my gaskets were about to go between coolant channel in gasket.
@@jppcherokee thanks for the quick reply. Cheers.
@@jppcherokee can you do with fine carbide bits? I have one ? It's pretty fine not coarse? Can I use water or special cutting lube? Also even tho it pulls a fair bit better especially from 40 to 100 km/h. The more I give it a bootful it seems like it's pulling harder! Mace engineering recommendations are new remapped ECU? I wanna put 69 mm throttle body or LS1 with adapter? Port the plenum neck as it's restricting the flow? I'm also a bit confused? Longer runners on my Torana with triple Su's at 1/34 inch gave me excellent bottom end like a tunnel ram. But 25 mm spacer and plenum spacer gave me more mid and top end? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work! Love that paint job!
I went with the mace 69mm throttle body. I really like this mod, it dumps the power down quicker especially off the mark, more responsive. Don't know about the carbide bit, I guess try it, but you may need long neck ones to get in there nicely, I liked the cylinder shape with rounded end. I used wd40 for lube probably better than water and will help with not clogging the bit. I also did the neck for better flow, remove casting lines and lips. I reckon if you have original manifold gaskets, and you are up around 150kms, change them anyway. Get the mace ones, don't get cheapies. My originals were just about to burst the coolant channels. Then I got cheapies, later when I did the rocker's, the friggin cheapies were also about to burst. I'll try and find the pics.
I'm not an expert or mechanic, maybe someone else could chime in, but when porting, it's not about just hogging out the ports, it's about velocity, and the flow needs to support that. That's why didn't do too much to heads intake port's, just removed casting lines and went a little bit bigger to make symmetrical, I did enlarge the exhaust ports on head, same thing with lines and just by making them more symmetrical and identical, removing the surface to more if a polish it enlarges them anyway. I believe you can loose power if you dick with the head intake ports too much and don't know what you're doing. But the manifold can be quite irregular. It's a fun job. Doesn't take too long.
what was the change in fuel efficiency after you’d done all this?
Really depends on how you drive. It wasn't bad at all. I did mostly highway driving.
I can't stop watching this video!!! It's so clean and custom looking.
Exactly what I need to do( want to do) how's it going in comparison to stock? I keep hearing conflicting crap! I need some honest info? I love the mace engineering plenum spacing. 6mm throttle body, raising the manifold reduces heat. Top job. Looks awesome. Bogan???? ( I prefer performance enthusiast). Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work. 🙂👍👍👍. Btw did you have to port behind the throttle body? I have a few lying around and they are restricted. Reminded me of my vp Commodore. I took the plastic baffle out and immediately felt just a bit more responsive. 65 mm v8 throttle body and a custom cold air induction. It was a quick little v6.
What size intake hose is that?
Sounds really good man definitely gonna do the same with my wagon
Hey jppcherokee any chance you could send me a link or help me with some info on your power steering cooler Cheers
Cool car its a pitty they sound wank compared to a older buick engine
Performance coil packs make a huge difference in these cars , I bought them for VS ecotec , I would also suggest a performance radiator they bring the temperature down a lot creating a more efficient engine , also the hole you chopped from box yes a bad idea , the engine temps under that bonnet you will actually run the car less efficiently and you lose a little power because you are sucking hot air ! And I also put in a police issue alternator however I had subs I put into my car , and I put in a bigger earth strap from battery to body ! You can swap out instrument cluster looks on these as well get rid of boring holden instrument clusters guy on eBay sells them , and not expensive to do
Good tips. I'll consider swapping the airbox out. And probably do the coils too. Now I just have to find an excuse for my wife on money spent:)
@@jppcherokee did u wait the full 24hrs after installing insulators?
mace mods completely change the car I've done it on my vs what a difference it makes.
You have done well ma bro ... you done the rockers ... but you never done a cam upgrade with higher valve opening maybe pushrods too 😉 then do your memcal tune on dyno not a preset memcal your almost there though... mace should of told you that,, and they know it too... also getting it tuned on dyno theyl change your transmission shift patterns youl nail that dumb subaru 🤙
Sounds actually laggy bro its hesitant when u snapping the throttle 😂😂😂
Yeah a bit, but definitely better than before.
I hate the vids where guys just let it idle, I wanna hear the lag:)
Mace are good stuff but there memcals are only best suited if you upgrade all of your mods with mace cai injectors bla bla i am impressed though tbh i like your style of the engine you still done really good though
good video, Land-Scape wooda madé it better
Hi is that a lifter or your injectors making that sound
I think more the lifters. You can hear the injectors, they are not too old, but the engine has always been a bit ticky.
Still have the car
wtf are you whispering but also forcefully trying to talk as fast as you can at the same time? fukwit
Does my whispering turn you on? I'll make a special video just for you 😉
Speak friend .. I am from Brazil ... I liked the idea .... what is the name of this piece ... to search for sale
Plenum spacer, and air intake manifold spacer. Brand is Mace. Try e bay :)
This video without subtitles goes on the car category. With subtitles, it's definitely comedy.
I made almost same what you did .I have vt v6 I bought from mace all parts. Bit the intake was very cheap material. The rubber for intake cracked and teard within one month with very low ride. I noticed that air fuel ratio went lean 18-20. Which is not good. How you deal with this issue? I stopped my car 4 years now not doing anything
hey mate i have a vt commodore 3.8l i want to get the plenum spacer, intake manifold spacer and also the ultra high ratio roller rockers on it. what has been your experience so far? any problems? any top,mid and low end power gains or losses?? thanks mate
No scoops rocker case and canards
