Do the h/e/I upgrade like said, an aftermarket ecu and then boost. That'll be your best option. Have some fun till you blow it up or get bored, the. Either go b series, or if you got the cash K.
However, I recommend doing all the structural supporting mods first. Your coilovers, camber arms, control arms, sway bars, strut bars, brakes etc. Once you've done this, then start worrying about power. Power is useless if the car isn't designed to support it.
so much LOLWAT to this post.Quote:

your so called structural mods.
coilovers - why
camber arms - why
sway bars - why
why does he need to upgrade that. Why does he need to upgrade that 1st?
Because if he doesn't do that, decided to scrap the d series and throw in a k or b with the car unable to support the engine, then he's stuck running a car that maybe unsafe and is left second handling everything.
Intake heads and exhaust are the basic. Make him a little power until, or if he decides to go boost. Ecu, if you want to make power you are always going to need to tune.
Give me your reading as to why not and what you would recommend, short of scrapping the d or jumping straight to boost.
I am also bit wot
Why buy intake and headers when you gonna change them when boost anyway?
Stock suspension is fine for that too, who cares
Holden drivers got cut Springs with supercharger they have no issues
Holdens with superchargers also make shit all power in a tank of a chassis.
He wanted to know what he could do to it. Typical mods are HEI. If he wanted to later, then maybe go boost.
Hell, HEI are cheap enough and high enough demand that he could sell it off afterwards anyways.

And that's why I said recommend. Not must.
And please tell me you're not being serious about the camber and sways...

That's the reason I'm telling him to do it all before hand. Learn from my mistakes.
Looks like cbauto found someone else to hate.

Something tells me he's asking for your explanation, not somebody elses :)Quote:

Dylan is kinda correct in what he said.
Handling, Stopping power, Cooling all should be addressed before chasing power mods.
Buhhh I don't think his approaching it the correct way.
He doesnt even know the benifit of the modifications he suggested.Quote:

Dont piss Sensi off.
What shit fite stopped here too.
Hmm i need to sign up to more forums.
No no. I've learnt, googled, books. I have an idea of what I'm talking about.
I don't really know how else to approach it. These guys have been on my back for the near get go.
Now. Stop the school girl crap and give the kid his thread back.
Then explain.Quote:

The reason for the mods that I recommended are to stiffen handling, the adjustable coilovers are to alter height (duh) but also alter the stiffness. I.e the rebound and dampening rate.
Sway bars is once again to reduce the movement and stiffen the driving. It helps to reduce body roll from side to side, meaning through the corners you aren't having the inner wheel lift and loose traction.
Camber arms is to dial in on the sweet spot where the wheels have optimal +/- camber for traction. Lowering a vehicle gives it natural negative camber (top leans in).
The strut bars is to reduce body twist.
Rear brace (forgotten the name) is required to upgrade an ek to accommodate a larger 22/24mm sway.
Control arms is just replacing pressed steel with strengthened and lightened alloys. Last thing you want is a broken control arms.
I may be young, but I ask far too many questions to my old man and his car mates. I've also been through hell on my ek. And I'm sure I've gotten some of that wrong...
I'm not trying to be a dick. Just trying to get some respect back and earn my place.
Thanks for standing up for me thoughQuote:

Alloy rim upgrade
The only v8 commodore that has been released is the new hsv vf club sport, and even then it wasn't like that off the factory floor. Other than that, it was only the vt an some of the vs. They were a 3.8L and made a little over 220hp in a 1.5t chassis. In comparison to even a d series with a turbo on it, the commo has no power in a heavy chassis.
