V6 Performance Upgrade Advice

[drtroy]

Hi I got a V6 mk 2, all standard, I was going to part ex it but now ive decided to keep it.

Am looking for advice on a non turbo, true power gain upgrades.

My thoughts are pipercross induction, orbisoud (full system if one is available) and maybe a motec upgrade.

I wondered if the motec was worth getting and if so, would this upgrade give reliable motoring.

I'd like to get more punch on pull off.

Cheers

you loaded???

mine (and no its not finished before anyone asks!)

Motec is over 3k! Orbisoud don't do a full system, although there is a group buy on v6 forum.

I've got remap, filter ans zorst! love it!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

orbisoud do do a full system, but thats over £2K too

 

[The Boosh!]

Fred.

That looks mega complicated.

Your a brave man!

 

[Fred@BTM]

you should see the wiring diagram!

 

[Christopher]

He may complete a project, one day

Mental though

 

[Fred@BTM]

chuck £3K my way and i'll complete it!

 

[The Boosh!]

Is there a project thread on that beast fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

somewhere, nothing exciting though

"and so it begins" i think it was called, only about 18month old thread LOL

why motec?
you can chose also good SA for less as Autronic, ViPEC or even cheaper like VEMS or MS

but, to be honest, I don`t see why would you put SA in you car if you do not plan to do some big changes on the engine, like Fred did

Omex would be in the region of 2k off the top of my head, so considerably less than Motec. Charlie at Pro-speed would be the man to talk to about exhausts

have OMEX done a mk2 yet? have fun with the wiring, its baffling me!

orbisoud do do a full system, but thats over £2K too

They do...Since when?

 

[ForceIndia]

Vee's require no power upgrades. Fastest car ever.

MikeT has one and Ben did one for someone

 

[sideways danny]

Ben did one for someone

was that farkin ages ago at the old workshop? Think I helped him fit that

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah it was on a blue one

 

[sideways danny]

Nice system. Lots of manifold to wrap!!!!!

 

[nickyc]

How about an uprated exhaust, filter, cams and then a remap?

 

[drhowser]

you would probably get much more benefit from a set of kw v3's to be honest, i'd do that and upgrade the brakes before doing anything power wise.

 

[Timmay]

supercar territory!

 

[Dash]

Prospeed do a nice looking exhaust system.

The Motec unit is a tad expensive. For just a few minor engine mods you might consider one of the others or maybe even just a remap.

Looks smart though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^mr money bags!

 

[The Boosh!]

what does the motec unit do?

 

[Fred@BTM]

just the daddy of all ecu's

 

[The Boosh!]

just the daddy of all ecu's

ECU - Fecker to install i guess? would love a gander at the wiring diagram. just to lol and then fail myself

 

[Mark One]

^^ it's just a standalone ECU, like Emerald, DTA, megasquirt, VEMS, the list goes on and on.
Motec is good stuff, like emerald and DTA

Do a supercharger conversion. You know you'll only want more power after a few months anyway

i now consider myself failed... That looks SO hard, i think id bust a nut trying to work my way through that

 

[Fred@BTM]

its not that bad, just a bit mind bending sometimes!

 

[drtroy]

Good link to the tech stuff, reminds me of when i used to be on mloc.

I do fancy a orbisoud they say nothing else compliments the engine as good, and a wicked sound. Would a remap give any noticable difference? Am thinking of a sports cat, do you need a certain amount of back pressure on the system so that you dont loose performance on the v6, with it being non turbo???

many thanks

 

[BenR]

For the price of an orbi, get yourself down to somewhere like simpson or OJZ.

 

[Fred@BTM]

OJZ stuff is beautiful

 

[mossyv6]

yeah it was on a blue one

Did it have JET on the number plate by any chance?

An illiad mk2 from Chesterfield had the full orbisound system on it and apparently sounded the dogs ganglies! (One of Glennv6's neighbours owned it)

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah i think it was, Mitch i believe was his name

post the pics of the system ben!

 

[drtroy]

Wonder if he still has it, Im near chesterfield would love to hear it

Blakey on V6Clio.net is trying to sort out a group buy on an Orbisound mate. He thinks with 10 of us in he can get them for approx £750 each. Get your name down!
