Title: V6 Performance
Post by: VitZook on February 24, 2004, 01:44:13 PM

What do you guys do to your V6's to make them go better ?
I have gained about 12 % in torque (higher in places) and 10% in HP across the range. This was mainly due to fitting a Unichip to the ECM and dyno tuning it for approx 6 hours ! ::)
I have also got two Hiclones fitted, an ITG 3 stage air filter (flows good and keeps fine dust out) chopped off air intake tube inside front gaurd and run synthetic 5w30 oil. Oh and a performance muffler (tad noisy!)..

I was thinking new exhaust manifolds/headers without catalytics would be nice. Do you have a picture of your intake modification?

I will take some and send asap.. it was to get rid of the extension that headed down towards headlight. It was up close to the backing plate and was quite restrictive..

Its a smaller than stock crank pulley that underdrives your belt driven accesories usually by 33%. So less power is needed to run them which can be used at the wheels instead. But if your running alot of power(electric accesories) you may not want one.
