- Second video of the VE SV6 2008 3.6 ltr. Alloytec - Empire Performance Exaust, Mace Engineering Camshafts and an OTR.
#EmpirePerformance#MaceEngineering#SunsetTravel
I have recently engine swapped the Alloytec for an L98 6.0 Litre and swapped out the auto to a 6-speed manual. Worth every cent. 3/4 headers 3" pipes video coming as soon as the rain stops...
when v8 swap video
Who did your v8 conversion? Would you recommend them or another workshop? I am looking at a conversion for a 2011 ve thunder ute. Cheers
Sounds tuff!!! I wanna throw these on my 06 VZ Calais ... Light up the streets lol
My advise just with my own car is that i wouldn’t bother with anything other than intake, tune, headers, high-flow exaust (i won’t go bigger than 2.5 inch again -maybe) and the cams from Mace were cheap and easy to install. I do still want a throttle control.
That sounds awesome. Figuring out how to do the same to my G8
I have been saving for a while and just completed an engine/gearbox swap video coming soon!
Beautiful car love the color ..
We agree! Thanks Ebie😉
That's a cool car! Love the color!
Cant wait to see the next video after a tune! How many rwkw are you pushing before the tune and after?
Should be looking at around 260hp i won't be pushing it too much without a set of decent springs in it - getting done soon. Next vid. being made as we speak, sounds much meaner!
How hard was it to do the cam swap without the cam tools
@@MrSolo0702 very easy straightforward job mate.
That thing will frighten the the he'll out a F6 or xr6 turbo any day
I don’t know mate i have respect for any good turbo set-up even if i'm not into Fords lol. Stand by for the V8 manual swap video any day👍
Wow beautiful car 😍
I’ve got the same thing done on my voodoo sv6 too except I went with xforce
I am having some stronger valve springs put in over the weekend i should have done it at the same time as the cams...
I decided to go with X-Force on the L98 i agree they sound great.
0:50 if anyone wants to get right to the point.
Thanks mate sorry for the slow intro my videography / editing is piss-poor at best.
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel dont be sorry, just helping out others who might just want to hear it. Sounds great mate, thanks for sharing the video.
Sounds like you started it and then pulled the vacuum hose out lmao😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 for sure it didn’t like it at all to begin with -didn’t help that the engine wasn’t tuned after the induction either -worked out smooth after a dyno.
Thats cool bro /happy newyear
Well hello long time no see - happy xmas and new-year hope you are safe and well if are at home!
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel yes bro longtime no see too
I would change the timing chain before the camshaft😅.
Timing chain is brand new - give me a break dude it's an Alloytec lol
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel Friendly stirring.
Nice car color blue
Yes but really could use a clean😏👍
wow nice car so amazing
Also sounds nice
Cheers almost done - some springs and a pulley kit will do it.
Any chance you have more videos of the called sv6 or anything else you have done to it
The called SV6 ? i ended up doing an engine swap with an L98 and a 6 speed manual. Thinking back i should have just put all the dollars into the V8 instead of trying to get more out of a V6. It was covid time when i was building it so everything was off the shelf in the mail...
Sounds fuckin mint
could do with a major tune...its noisy as hell
0:50 👌
BEAST 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Cheers best i could do on a budget off the shelf with an Alloytec with breaking it 👍 few small mods yet to do and its complete-
Can it be fitted in a V6 Holden ve Commodore ute 2009?
I can't see why not make sure you check with the company first.
Mine did that timing chain stetch sound the same
Yeah i spent good money on a fancy one i should have just gone with the original GM. New engine now video soon 👍
hey bro im doing cams and timing chains tommorow, just wondering if you had any sort of tune when you first started it, or that was the stock tune? want to know if they will start without a tune
My recommendation is see a Commodore specialist i don’t want to give you any bad advice - i have just been lucky to experiment on a car i picked up cheap. Personally i would rebuild the entire engine next time from scratch to handle the upgrades.
Lol was thinking it’s too quiet then you started it bahahahaha
I was afraid it wasn’t going to start....computer said no to begin with lol
This first start after install?, Think its be okay to drove without a tune for a little bit or just dont drove it till its done?
not worth the risk I’ll let someone who knows their trade better than me do it-may save me another engine!
Replay yahoo gwapo nice car
Hi mechell thanks for watching a boring car video i know you hate it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
i drop this now amazing to my live sir to support for you
Thanks Daisy for your support👍
I Tried calling Mace Engineering but it was very hard to communicate with the man and women working there as they were both indian
That is really strange i have never had to speak to any Indians? (no offence India)
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel never used to be this way . Happened not too long ago. They had a very hard time understanding what parts I was after and gave up in the end because it was all too hard. I left my number for the owner to ring but never heard back from him
i wonder if there’s been a change in management i have had dealings in the past they were great@@independentassesor2630
what sort of 0-100 with cams and 200rwkw setup? How much faster than stock?
in my honest opinion? next time i would leave it at a quality otr, full brand system front to back -you don’t need 3", reputable race tuner -i would leave most of it stock and leave the rest to the tuner.
This the same engine as the first gen cadillac cts 3.6L v6?
Yeah mate i am not sure which one we stole that design from lol - just LS swapped it.
when v8 swap video
ah yeah i better hurry up the car is for sale
How did the Ls swap go got a video yet and did you cam your Ls ? Hopefully you have it going now the power difference would be better and the sound although your 6 sounded good oh did you manual swap or auto
Yeah i thought if i did an LS swap i could at least add the manual. Amazing what the difference makes -if you do it go for a fresh rebuild or crate motor. I got ripped off by the company that did it. All kinds of problems. An older engine can have so many things wrong or about to go wrong i was stupid enough to think they would just sell me a good strong engine and gear-box -c*nts
I had the video up for a few weeks then took it down after i sold it - i couldn’t afford a new set of lifters and whatever else may have been needed. Heartbreak for a petrol head...
Ok sorry for the fk around you got some people just want to take your money and not give a shit especially when you outlay the money to do a swap and yes manual is so much better Autos are great for drag racing and sound great with a big stall but cant beat a manual for sound and driving experience my Vf ssv is cammed manual and makes 450rwhp yes could always have more power but sounds great and so fun to drive hopefully you get something that fulfills your dream of banging gears cheers
Absolutely@@jamieanderson634
What was fuel economy like compared to stock? Was it running a 98 tune?
Fuel economy ridiculous lol just swapped out for an L98 6 ltr it uses much less. Video soon 👍
Sounds like alcohol interlock starting up at the start
Yeah i didn’t like it and tuning was a bitch i LS swapped it in the end now i realised it just sounds like ass compared to a V8 it was covid though and mail off the shelf boredom ...
Just wondering if the tune in your car was the base tune proved by mace or did you get it tuned.
I'm about to do this cam swap but I'm looking for a hp tune file to help with the process
i didn’t even try myself i had a friend do it all and also went to another tuner after. As far as i know yes he followed their specs.
Would you happen to have a copy of the finished tune before you put on the l98
How do I get my sv6 to sound like that bro
Looking back on it i would keep saving and LS swapping it as i just did👍
What else did you have to upgrade with the cams?
I stopped there it really wasn’t worth it, the whole idea was just to see what i could do off ebay etc. during c*vid boredom. The next episode is an L98 and 6 speed manual swap coming very soon -should be interesting.
Sorry no other internal upgrades with the exception of the timing chain.
Hey I was just wondering what is your setup on your commy?
Pretty basic at the moment - apart from 3" duel Empire Exaust, headers, high flow cats. they an affordable system that bolts straight up no problem, no alterations necessary - i have an earlier video where the guys put it in very easily (increased HP and flow immediately), i replaced the timing chain with a quality product (it was due for one anyway) and a set of Mace Cams. I will add a CPR-6 manifold and Orssom OTR cold air intake today and Dyno tomorrow (next video). As you can see it shakes the car atm i don’t want to be pulled over and defected...
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel okay Thankyou for that course rn I have pacemaker headers into 100cpi hi flow cats into the rest x force and with a dyno tune. I wanted a cam shaft but I have no idea what one to get but I was thinking mace cam what are your honest opinion on them
@@myvf4862 what kind of engine? If you had an LFX i wouldn’t bother with the cam just OTR cold air intake and maybe an under-drive pulley kit. The cams they supply really won't give you much of a gain without a rebuild so you don’t destroy your engine. Sound-wise it definitely makes the car purr nicely now through acceleration and on the highway. No more V6 drone.
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel hey mate, I’ve recently got my sv6 lfx cammed. Can you elaborate abit more on why it’ll damage the engine? Cheers
Stage 2 mace?
I’m not sure of the exact specs it was the only one they offered that dropped straight in without removing the heads or anything - cold starts this time of year now its very loud/lumpy i feel bad for the neighbours...
Hey brother love the car sounds mean as but i wanna do the same thing to mine im just worried about fuel consumption how is it thanks🤙
Its extremely thirsty!!!!! I just V8 swapped it and it uses allot less - video coming soon.
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel wow thanks for reply might reconsider then and wait for my fulls haha
this the lfx mate or the llt?
2008 mate unfortunately - lfx definitely responds better to a tune but i couldn't pass this one up at 60000k on the engine. Just had a pretty mild tune, video tomorrow of dyno. and outcome etc.don't want to push too hard without at least changing the springs -cheers
What cam is it and where is the cam from
Mace Engineering -its pretty mild easy to install no taking heads off or anything i will strap on a go-pro in a few weeks and record a proper drive sound video. Its just enough to make a nice purr without that drone they always get no matter how good your exaust is.
@@PhilippinesSunsetTravel thatll be good I’m hoping to cam mine soon and just seeing what some sound like, how much was yours
Churr
😂 👍
what a waste of money lol sounds like a tractor farting
i agree
