    Good to see something different. And before people judge the little V6: if it did 5.55secs - it would be quicker than the following Ross Review’d cars:
    E92 M3 stock-5.63secs
    VE GTS stock - 5.65secs
    HSV VE2 auto Ute 5.71secs
    FPG GT-F manual - 5.75secs
    BF F6 - 5.82secs
    Mustang GT manual 5.82secs
    409rwkw FGX G6E 5.85secs
    VESS Ute 430hp manual - 5.85secs
    C63 AMG tuned 5.86secs

      I mean it’s cool to see something different. But as others have said those times don’t mean a whole lot. Especially when a lot of those cars you’ve listed would likely absolutely rocket past it if they were to keep going faster over a longer stretch and a lot likely struggle for traction because they’ve got more power.
      Again not knocking the Supercharged V6 because it’s cool to see, just I wouldn’t say those times hold a lot of relevance.

    I love my SV6. I was in the market for a used 911 when I decided to buy my SV6 in 2019. Back then you could get one with under 50,000 kms for around $23,000 drive away. My plan was to supercharge it and end up with a sleeper quicker than a stock 911. I ended up digressing from the supercharger and went cams, exhaust, tune, throttle controller and otrcai. Less than half the cost of the supercharger, complete stock look under the bonnet except for the otrcai and heaps of fun. I’ve had fast cars, wrx’s and currently an FK8 Type R. The SV6 feels sneakily fast and handling very good for a family sedan. I often wonder what a Commodore would be like now if Holden had stayed in business……..

    over 1 year later since this video was done and only now just found a huge boost leak this car has had pretty much its whole life, one of the waste gates had popped off the charge pipe and the reason i know it has been off for a long long time is now the car does not flutter like you can hear in this video after reconnecting the waste gate, car feels much faster and more responsive now.

Was tuned to 220rwkw before I blew the clutch and then motor so ended up putting a xr6t clutch in and a new motor obviously. Used to run older 8s all the time with a 0-100 of 5.6secs.

    Then...... you have to insure it. Easier and maybe cheaper to just buy the VE/VF SS.... and throw a custom cam and springs in it... maybe better rods (nothing else) can you'll make pretty much the same power or more..... and then it will look 100% factory and then for insurance well.... no massive supercharger under the bonnet etc. Like I did my cam myself and tuning etc.... Your looking like $1000-3000 depending on tools or whatever you might need/don't already have etc. Pretty cheap.

      but on the same token this car gets on average 5 - 6l/100 fuel economy on 98 pump so highway cruising and long distance it is alot cheaper to run than any v8, not to mention that not everyone wants a v8 some people want and are willing to try something different.

    Just wondering, are you doing a review on the Hyundai IONIQ anytime soon?
    Yeah, superchargers are expensive :O To get mine for my swift (just the parts, minus labour) it was gonna be $7000.
    Oh right! What I wanted to ask you was, are you used to using kW and Nm? I'm American, as you know, and so I'm also used to hp and lb-ft.
    I get what you mean about "just a supercharger." For sure man.
    Like I just wanted to put this out there, I'm waiting until the supercharger's on before I bring it to you. The Swift Sport. It's gonna be a while because I just quit my job, so, you know, it'll be a bit.
    I'm so glad you said 'we're doing 0-60 the old school way,' proves to me you're truly North American :)

      they ran 4 psi of boost stock which is 4 psi goes in to a bar 3.65 times. Divide the stock Ecotec kW by 3.65 you get 41 kws. There's a 20kw difference between the two , the supercharger is out of its effeciency range. 20kws isn't bad for driving an old roots style blower.

    • @hayden6056
      @hayden6056 2 года назад

      With an exhaust , OTR and tune a lot of guys are making 200-220 rwkw.
      this is running 7 psi of boost. 7 psi goes into a bar 2.1 times , 47.61% of a bar. 42% increase in power which means 5% of the power should be driving the blower 15 kW. more modern blower and not far off the amount of kws it takes to turn the Eaton.
