going on the original 211kw thats an ss. heard the manual hsv ls2's have 240-250 rwkw stock. ill try chuck it on the dyno in the next week or 2 thoo. see how she goes

211rwkw def ss... my stock ls1 pulled around that on the CSV dyno when i was getting my tune. Pulled 221rwkw on a dyno day though lol

Yeh it is a SS sorry. I didnt even think about how the R8's have more power then the SS's lol.
But still thats not bad with just a big cam and exhaust!

Yeah I reckon....same with falcons though, XR6t 'with just valve springs, intercooler, injectors and tune' etc. $$$

Michael - you ever done a cam in an LS1 before? It's not a small job...

Michael (HYPOEB) · Post by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » July 27th, 2010, 6:53 pm

Yes i would imagine it would be a fair big job on one of these motors.
$4000 for 400+bhp seems to be pritty good money for value imo.

Went for a strap in a SS ute the other day, holy fark <3. But yeah you really cant see shit out the back lol.

think about it, the car is worth how much?
don't ya think $4000 on an e-series (or any other cheap shit car) would be alot more bang for buck?
that would have a turbo on and breaking the 200 mark right?

They do, you cant deny it. I'm guessing the 350z is worse again though lol.

Well i dont think you can realy compare a e series to a VE Maloo as you could buy 25+ e series for the price of one Maloo

I havnt seen any Boss motors or any ford EFI V8 make the power these things make for the same cash.

yeh i know what ya mean, i just read you write good money for value and thought well this car is 50k plus so for 4g more you'd wana expect some easy power.

not as funny as someone spending 4gs on a windsor and getting 200kw!

it adds up pretty quick, but its still good value. maybe not quite as good as a XR6T but better than a boss motor etc.

bentls · Post by **bentls** » July 27th, 2010, 7:39 pm

josh, dylan didnt pay anywhere near 50k tho... the price he got it at, even if he spent 5k on it, i know of alot of other cars which are more expensive and shitter....

Michael - you ever done a cam in an LS1 before? It's not a small job...

yeah john cams the $$ bit. exhaust is easy but the cam is the killer

yeah XR6T seem easy to get power but to good , reliable power it gets pricey

$2000 - intercooler set up + extra for fitting
$900- tune
$1000 valve springs and fitting
$2000 exhaust
$1000 wastegate and actuator

etc etc

yeah, when you talk late model cars the performance mods stack up pretty quick.
the results speak for themselves.

well done man. it's a massive thing to buy off ebay. killer motor. probably think ss look a bit smoother, not so much going on at the back. still tuff as.

well havnt done much to this yet. took off the mudflaps off, took off the wind deflectors.
ordered my exhaust this morning so i should see that tomorrow

car was meant to go on the dyno this arvo but due to a rear wheel bearing (i thought it was a handbrake issue) so was unsafe to put on dyno.
wheel bearing is getting fixed through holden under warranty tomorrow. hopefully dyno will happen friday and hope to fit exhaust friday night.

bentls · Post by **bentls** » August 4th, 2010, 9:07 pm

umm that thump noise it did in my garage was defo hand brake... maybe the bearing is fucked aswell, but that was defo handbrake noise it made

someLS1 · Post by **someLS1** » August 5th, 2010, 12:57 pm

Supposedly all you need to fix the axle tramp is a harrop diff hat. Changes the mounting points on the back of the diff..... that's what ive heard anyway.
