VY V6 turbo ute

G'day all,

Here is my VY V6 turbo ute. It has had a fair few mods mechanically wise. It goes really well and has about 320rwkw on 17 psi. It made about 370rwkw on 1.5 bar (~22 psi) but that was pretty hard to keep traction anywhere.

Engine rebuilt, balanced and blue printed (wish i had've gone the stroker crank while motor was apart)
bigger throttle body, moved to driver's side
CP forged pistons
Argo H beam rods
balance shaft removed
all new bearings etc
valves, valve springs
double row adjustable timing chain
1.8:1 YT roller rockers, molly pushrods
crow cam
heads flowed
block 'o' ringed
kaaz diff stock ratio of 3.46:1
xtreme clutch
autronic sm4 ecu, mafless tune
3 tunes 8psi, 14psi and 17psi
eboost2
kkr 560 turbo
kkr 50 mm external wastegate
mace plenum spacer
mace insulator
new fuel lines, fuel rails, 044 fuel pump, surge tank
etc, etc, etc

These pics are a few months old but the only ones i have at work. The car is a little bit different now. It now has a t56 6speed as the 5speed packed it in. Also plenum spacer removed, all hoses are now braided and polished the plenum a little bit.

I've had a fair few 1/4 mile runs. This is the last one i did.

Thats a tuff ute man, must go hard

Thanks man. Yeah she goes bloody good. My mrs drives a VE clubby and it's a lot faster than that. At least in a straight line anyway. I'm gonna turbo the clubby once it's out of warrenty. That should be awesome.

Farrrrrrrr... you can donate a turbo my way maybe?

Funny you say that.... I've just bought a Garrett Gt3582R with the 1.06 A/R exhaust housing. Chasing a bit more power and (hopefully) a bit quicker 1/4 time. So my 560 horsepower kkr 560 will probably be looking for a home.
