Unsure as to what the specific differences are between a V6 and V8 throttle body. I'd assume diameter and airflow meter electronics vary, although the HSV CAI units seem to be simple to add to either V6 or 8. Personally, I think the bulk of the "upgrades" would be better served further down the engine's "lungs."
There's not much in it , on mine seems the throttle is slightly quicker and fuel consumption went a tiny bit higher. might knock off two tenths of stuff all. Not sure about the ecu taking full advantage of the extra air and fueling it accordingly.
It's a reasonable cheap upgrade at that price. I'd do it and then go the headers/exhaust, and maybe a chip to suit. Might give you a bit more off the line and you'll notice it breath's so much better. instead off the 6 pack a day weezing If your putting the 8 in much latter then , yes give the beast some breathing room , and the VS CAI will be good use. Are you waiting a while for the 8 and will you do the diff gears ? Great to see , this sound's like a new VN project car is starting to evolve.
i got a 71mm on mine an noticed instant gains in throttle response an now that my car is basically complete as free breathing as a n/a can get it defiantly gets up an goes quicker now
Yeah i am doing up the v6 a little for now until i figure out when i will be getting a v8 for it so for now i just want to get some more power and fun times out off the six :D
Yeah diff gears are deffinently on the cards and a mini spool.
I am toying between a vn diff with a 3:4:5 ratio or 3:9's out off a R31 auto.
So is there much difference between a V6 and V8 throttle ?
Modifying a car is like a drug once you start you cannot stop.
