Blowing my VF HSV in a few weeks time. The LS3 is a great engine but lacks low down torque. Stick a supercharger in there and its an entirely different animal.
I think that towel over the rear boot catch interferes with the car alarm and prevents the engine starting remotely. An integrated safety feature if someones behind it when its ajar?
Sounds like a old fire truck coming? Q. Why do you feel the need for more HP and torque on the PUBLIC ROAD? Isn't 400hp and almost 600nm enough? 0-100 in the 5's?
Well as best i can tell its around a mid to high 3 but with wheel spin on 275s tyres and I would say this people smoke dope gamble drink like fish but I like to improve cars.
It wont start, because you had the bonnet up. :) But otherwise the supercharger kit is perfect, the only aspect i would have concerns about would be the auto & a OE Trans cooler, the Trans cooler from Holden is $1,000 & its totally different to an aftermarket trans cooler, it has Valves etc, that works i guess when the trans get to a load it will open up to add more cooling to the transmission, anyway cool car, theres a Walkingshaw with W 547 KW redline for sale right now for over $85K on carsales .com Series 2 Redline ? Otherwise its all good, basically my 2015 redline has KN filter & Difillipo rear mufflers only, which gives it a v8 sound & also rear Brembos, cant wait till i have the CASH to put the supercharger on it. :) Which is about $15K i believe, depending on where you go etc. The Walkinshaw upgraded redline was a blue 2016 in 4th week of August 2016 ? 85K dollars, no mention about warranty etc.
@ 110 KM you have the AFM auto fuel Management start, which has alternating pistons with fuel, so you dont have any drone noise at the back even if you wanted too, the only time you will here the rear mufflers sound good is when you give the pedal a good kick down. :)
Thanks its still going strong with 70,000ks on the clock. Drivers side door push button on the outside now works less rather than more, but I haven't been back to Holden yet.
Here gunner Smith heres the link look at 11:30 & 11:53 mark on the upload for the transcooler ? ruclips.net/video/5HI1IyHK8iE/видео.html thats the factory transcooler & if you go to Holden get a print out of what it looks like & you will see it has valves etc hat operate at different pressures etc. chhers buddy. :) I suppose for my car because i dont do any towing i will not need one, but any car the transmission is the 1 thing that is over worked & the extra cooling is better than none, that way your transmission will last longer & depending on what you going to do with the car i suppose as well keep it or use it & then trade up, it up to each person to do what ever they like cheers buddy . :)
Ye gunna smith i spoke to con at C&A auto fashion and he said that for a 1900 supercharger is only $200 less than a 2300 heartbeat, but let's not forget all the other aspects that need doing, heads small cam to suit supercharger, also i would get the piston rings changed to suit the extra air and head work as well, then headers which would be 2.5" all the way through and just spoke to PWR and they said that the trans coolers for the VF, you really need to know what your doing as they dont come out with factory trans coolers and you really need to have the right set up due to the lines that go to the radiator can be cut otherwise you lose your warranty on the car full stop. So again i think IMO it really depends on what you're going to do with your car keep it or trade up later on or sell it etc. ? Still a great job mate and i will be doing a performance upgrade on mine soon, thinking of Clubsport Headers with ceramic coating and cat back system but with hi flow cats and a OTR/ Tune, which should bring it close to about 250KW at the rear ( saving about 3K for the exhaust system. OR or spend approx 15K for a supercharger kit and have approx 400KW at the rear wheels and get the right trans cooler suited for it like the same as what the HSV's have got, but in saying that the autos are different to a 6LT unless you have a 6.2lt auto then they will bolt on straight away, also Holden Have said that you dont need a trans cooler at all, even with a tow pack on the new cars that dont have external trans coolers WTF, its common sense the auto is going to be working harder especially in summer months and they dont have a trans cooler from the factory when you order a tow pack as a new car , more like let the autos fail so they have to spend more $$ later on ? also n Just commodore forums a guy is going to put a S/H cubby headers and exhaust system and OTR and tune, just need to wait till he gets it done and posts it to see what the KW /HP figures are ? cheers and good motoring gunner smith. :)
Nice sound. Bet you're happy with the upgrade. Though just on the tune Walkinshaw Performance says this about an upgrade to their top of the line W547 kit (so you could probs tune her even higher without any dramas): "There are no changes made to the driveline or chassis of the Commodores and HSVs in concert with the W547. The only concession WPP makes to any concerns about so much power and torque pumping through the system is a driveline warranty. But WPP boss Tony Harris insists the kit does not threaten the 6L80 transmission six-speed auto that most V8 Commodores come with: “We are probably at the absolute peak as far that driveline is concerned but we have not had any driveline failures.”
I have done a 400k trip,200 each way, 8.8L/100ks on the way down and 7.9L/100ks on the back. 400ks on the Hwy. This result is about 0.6L/100ks better than before with the car completely stock from factory.
+gunner smith Can i ask how much if you got a low k SSv Redline & get the supercharger put on, i was told about 13K + cost of the car is that about right ? Please let me know ?
+7071t6 Depends if you need an exhaust system, if not that would be around the right price. C&A Auto Fashion done the work 03-98785123 Andrew or Con are both great and love Holden. Just remember that it had to be tuned low due to auto transmission. 500RWHP for Auto trans, You might get more like 600RWHP for a manual box
I think the remote start was turned off or something like that, also people tend to forget that you have two key fobs and forget to replace the battery in both keys every so often ,good that the dash message comes up to say the battery ( CR 3V 2032) in the key fob needs replacing as well. :) Best car made by holden barr none The VF REDLINE series one and two. :) If i had the cash i would do the same for sure, it costs around 20K thats if you have cam and heads, just the supercharger, headers etc, tune etc, is around 12 to 15K approx, also depending on who does it. Still worth it, but again each to their own, people will always think that the car will be thrashed while she had the charger on her etc. :)
silverss onyoutube Still got it 45000ks on clock now.Just went with the SSV but didn't like the lack of sound for a V8 so then priced exhaust system and thought why not supercharge it.L77 engine, Believe they used various engines, Must be leftovers. And yes real happy, turns a few heads too.
Gunner, can you tell me if you had the Factory Trans Cooler, because i went to Holden & the only Factory trans coolers that they have came out on a police pack, which if you look up the SSV Production line from South Australia you will see a Orange VF come down the line with a TRANS cooler & its a massive type as well, just saying because after market trans coolers dont work in the same way as the factory one, which sits on the passengers side in front of the A/C condenser the Production SSV in on u tube, please look it up, i am just wondering because i have a Holden Picture printed straight off the system & it has a totally different set up to any after market trans cooler, i understand the Radiator has cooling fins inside for the transmission, but to get the Holden Trans cooler it cost $1,000 with out fitment ?
gunner smith Ok, but when you get a chance have a look at Holdens offical Transcooler at a Holden Dealership look at the print out from their computer, because they are different in the way the work, not the same as simply allowing trans fluid to go to a radiator out the front of your car, but if your happy with it, then no worries cheers :)
the Panasonic sound system is worth $1299 but i got it for $799 big Aussie dollars..dont get Pioneer or Bose as they are pissy brands of sound..get a Panasonic
You can make it louder simply by using a Glimmer belt but they are quite loud. The other way is just to pump up the boost. Goodyear belts are the shnitz.
Hey gunner smith, if you still have the car, could you please upload what the trans cooler you have fitted and how its looks from the front of the car, also if it has been put on and bypassing the heat exchanger in the radiator or connected with the radiators internal heat exchanger. :)
yeah the new gts-r will be a bumped up gts with over 600hp and be quicker than most European cars. The ss won't change series 2 is the last generation of commodore.
Mate go for the last Holden's re: The director series, :) I would if i could Afford one, but i believe all the last VF'S are all sold out anyway. I still believe that due to the unique Redline extra's they will hold their pricing,especially with low KM's. :)
bloody awesome u car now needs a better cam big difference with the supercharger engine put in now and the noise u hear with the windows up is your tyres u need better tyres u braking perfect and it drives well superfast amazing got to get one now i wonder why my mate wants the same thing in his maloo ute extra horsepower what u pay the supercharger thx
Done 100,000 ks never a problem highway is between 9.2 and 8.4L per 100ks but town is like 20 to 25L per 100ks sometimes worse if you drive hard. Absolutey no regrets but remember its tuned light only 500RWHP it could be more like 600+
Great video mate! That's gotta put a smile on your face. I have a 2015 SSV in black too, this set up is my goal, with heads and cam package too. How much power she making?
I haven't had much of a go as she just spins the wheels the whole way, even with traction control it shuts down at around 70kmh and then restarts the power. Brand new tyres cost $1200 for the rear and it don't matter still spins. But the best time I have got is around 5sec with 100% wheel spin all that time
+Steve Q The car owes me 74k a GTS is around 96K and remember this is tuned down, it should put out 600+ RWHP I didn't care too much on the price just wanted something other than Walkinshaw.
+Steve Q i have a 5 DVD Panasonic sound system with jumbo speakers.Bose and Pioneer make Pissy sound systems .get a Panasonic sound system for your car and house. the other audio brands are pissy sound systems
+gunner smith cool, I'll keep an eye out for you and stick my head out of the car. I'm about two months away from purchasing either the black edition ssv redline ( when it comes out) or a VF r8 and a blower on either. I may try and make contact with you when I get a little closer to purchasing. Cheers.
+Bardygrub Aus i have a Panasonic 5 DVD sound system with jumbo speakers .Bose and pioneer are pissy . get a Panasonic sound system for house and car ok not pissy Bose
$17,000, Remember it was tuned light as the trans has not been upgraded.If it had been a manual or trans upgrade I would get over 600RWHP but 500RWHP is enough to handle for now.
+gunner smith sounds awesome, have the same kind of set up on my Ve ss. Admittedly our fg f6 made 480rwkw for a tad over 8g (stock internals and box) best of both worlds. Love the car mate 👌🏻
The mechanic tuned it low 500rwhp instead of 600+rwhp to protect the trans shes now got 130000ks since been fitted with the Magnusson and no worries and yes I do turn the tyres.
The auto has more capabilities even though I would have a manual i would go for the auto because of the sequential capability that allows faster shifts

it wont remote start if the boot is not closed properly
I love the Supercharger Whine!!
Who said Aussies cannot produce a great whine? I have indeed seen and heard, job well done!
love those Magnussun superchargers. You have modded yours just as I woudl like mine done. Perfection!
Blowing my VF HSV in a few weeks time. The LS3 is a great engine but lacks low down torque. Stick a supercharger in there and its an entirely different animal.
I think that towel over the rear boot catch interferes with the car alarm and prevents the engine starting remotely. An integrated safety feature if someones behind it when its ajar?
supercharger sounds good.
Thats a mad car bro!!
Sounds like a old fire truck coming?
Q. Why do you feel the need for more HP and torque on the PUBLIC ROAD?
Isn't 400hp and almost 600nm enough?
0-100 in the 5's?
Well as best i can tell its around a mid to high 3 but with wheel spin on 275s tyres and I would say this people smoke dope gamble drink like fish but I like to improve cars.
Bloke you need to spend some money on the house
It wont start, because you had the bonnet up. :) But otherwise the supercharger kit is perfect, the only aspect i would have concerns about would be the auto & a OE Trans cooler, the Trans cooler from Holden is $1,000 & its totally different to an aftermarket trans cooler, it has Valves etc, that works i guess when the trans get to a load it will open up to add more cooling to the transmission, anyway cool car, theres a Walkingshaw with W 547 KW redline for sale right now for over $85K on carsales .com Series 2 Redline ?

I love the car mate AWSUME...... Sound is perfect not too loud and the whistle form the supercharger icing on the cake PEERRFECT
The VF2 sold this issue with the bi-module exhaust. Great upload by the way, I enjoyed it.
Thanks its still going strong with 70,000ks on the clock. Drivers side door push button on the outside now works less rather than more, but I haven't been back to Holden yet.
Here gunner Smith heres the link look at 11:30 & 11:53 mark on the upload for the transcooler ?

Nice ride! Love the supercharger whine!! Enjoy!!
sounds really good . are you happy with the car and do you still have it ? how come you didnt get a hsv clubby or gts ?
still got it 70,000ks, no regrets
This Magnusson Superchargers look and sound great
i went with the yella terra 2900 ENFORCER STAGE #2 KIT with otr with pacemaker complete 3 inch stainless
Nice, sounds like that would be a monster too.

gunner smith Really? Only -9l/100km? Damn
Zachary Nugent that's the good part, around town its more like 25L- 32L/100km depending how much you give it taking off from lights and stuff.
Ah yep, fair enough...
+gunner smith Can i ask how much if you got a low k SSv Redline & get the supercharger put on, i was told about 13K + cost of the car is that about right ? Please let me know ?

Have a large trans cooler right in the middle of radiator, looks like the square block that joins from left to right has been modified.
gunner smith Ok, but when you get a chance have a look at Holdens offical Transcooler at a Holden Dealership look at the print out from their computer, because they are different in the way the work, not the same as simply allowing trans fluid to go to a radiator out the front of your car, but if your happy with it, then no worries cheers :)
7071t6 No worries next time she's in for a service I will ask them.
gunner smith cheers buddy. :)
SHE GETTING UP YA
Check out my other vid of the SS in a little bit of action.
gunner smith nice work! How much did these upgrades set you back in total?
Samuel Tripodi 17k he said
Gunner
Awesome video mate!!!
Would love to have mine like that ;)
Hamid Bobby Thanks
What's the cost for the upgrade?
You can get a 547kw Walkinshaw kit for $25k inc 3" exhaust, eaton supercharger, cam,valve springs, tune, etc
the Panasonic sound system is worth $1299 but i got it for $799 big Aussie dollars..dont get Pioneer or Bose as they are pissy brands of sound..get a Panasonic
I wonder why to date not one person has made covers like the Walkingshaws have for the heatbeat supercharger fitment ?
Good if the supercharger was bit louder.
You can make it louder simply by using a Glimmer belt but they are quite loud. The other way is just to pump up the boost. Goodyear belts are the shnitz.
How is she going do you still have her, gunner. :)
i recognised that freeway and the turn off onto the free way, that was the seymour bypass onto the Hume highway wasn't it? @gunner
Hey gunner smith, if you still have the car, could you please upload what the trans cooler you have fitted and how its looks from the front of the car, also if it has been put on and bypassing the heat exchanger in the radiator or connected with the radiators internal heat exchanger. :)
still have it sorry for slow reply, will try soon.
vf1 ss and r8 owners got robbed soon as vf2 came out. r8 performance for the price of an ss.
They don't have 500RWHP, Think I might look at 2017ss, I read somewhere the gts would cost around 140k
yeah the new gts-r will be a bumped up gts with over 600hp and be quicker than most European cars. The ss won't change series 2 is the last generation of commodore.
Mate go for the last Holden's re: The director series, :) I would if i could Afford one, but i believe all the last VF'S are all sold out anyway. I still believe that due to the unique Redline extra's they will hold their pricing,especially with low KM's. :)
my dad has the same car with thst superchager in it
bloody awesome u car now needs a better cam big difference with the supercharger engine put in now and the noise u hear with the windows up is your tyres u need better tyres u braking perfect and it drives well superfast amazing got to get one now i wonder why my mate wants the same thing in his maloo ute extra horsepower what u pay the supercharger thx
Around 13k but I've seen them around for 9k
Hows the long term reliability on this kit mate? Interested also in highway economy when cruising
Cheers
Done 100,000 ks never a problem highway is between 9.2 and 8.4L per 100ks but town is like 20 to 25L per 100ks sometimes worse if you drive hard. Absolutey no regrets but remember its tuned light only 500RWHP it could be more like 600+
Supercharger sounds beutiful
U can edit the video to hide the number plate
Great video mate! That's gotta put a smile on your face. I have a 2015 SSV in black too, this set up is my goal, with heads and cam package too. How much power she making?
Edit: just read the HP figure.
+Shaun Andrews i have a 5 DVD Panasonic sound system with jumbo speakers with subs..Bose,Pioneer are Pissy brands
So how do you licence this???
my gosh what a transformation. i can only imagine this beast on the country roads.
just got same SC on my '16 ute, how many k's have you done on the car and what sort of service work does the SC need done to?
now up to 70,000 and getting oil change every 10,000, how many HP did you take it to? Also getting a high 7.6 7.9Lp 100ks on 110k zone cruise on
Do you know the 0-100 time on this car
I haven't had much of a go as she just spins the wheels the whole way, even with traction control it shuts down at around 70kmh and then restarts the power.
Brand new tyres cost $1200 for the rear and it don't matter still spins.
But the best time I have got is around 5sec with 100% wheel spin all that time
gunner smith is that unusual? I mean the stock vf gts doesn't spin constantly maybe traction control not working or something??
That is awesome, but I'm not sure a $17k price tag justifies the extra kW... Could that have gone towards a faster car in the first place? GTS?
+Steve Q The car owes me 74k a GTS is around 96K and remember this is tuned down, it should put out 600+ RWHP
I didn't care too much on the price just wanted something other than Walkinshaw.

Are you still in wang? I'd really like to hear it in person. The blower sounds great hen your out at drage.

Hi mate what month is the car and do you still own the car.
think its 05 2014 still got it
now for cams! sounds great!
wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a cluby lsa ?
No clue, never was going to do this but cash came my way.
sweet :-)
Is that the enterance to Drage Airworld in Wangaratta lol??
+gdrahcir yea but I was only doing 80ks )
+gunner smith haha nice. I'm from wang originally so that's why I recognised it lol
Gunner smith how much did it cost for all the upgrades? Would like to get it in my car
$17,000, Remember it was tuned light as the trans has not been upgraded.If it had been a manual or trans upgrade I would get over 600RWHP but 500RWHP is enough to handle for now.
gunner smith, hey buddy I’m looking into the same setup as well, so these can reach 600hp even without the cam package ?
Nice updates mate 💪🏻
Any updates on the car Gunner, still strong and reliable?
No updates still strong. Would love higgins heads and a cam done but due to covid cash is short
@@topgunner511 Great to hear. I'd only open it up if/when it's starts playing up, then build it bullet proof, but that's just me.
Awesome car👌
awesome video
very nice , how much is the package cost bro if u don't mind i ask
+Ted Hong 17k
+gunner smith 17k for that?
+Angelique Tukuafu
correct
+gunner smith sounds awesome, have the same kind of set up on my Ve ss. Admittedly our fg f6 made 480rwkw for a tad over 8g (stock internals and box) best of both worlds. Love the car mate 👌🏻
That gearbox will grenade
Nah read my comment below
The mechanic tuned it low 500rwhp instead of 600+rwhp to protect the trans shes now got 130000ks since been fitted with the Magnusson and no worries and yes I do turn the tyres.
Automatic!! WHYYYYY????
zCodaxHD because I could
The auto has more capabilities even though I would have a manual i would go for the auto because of the sequential capability that allows faster shifts
