Holden Ecotec 4.2 V6 Stroker engine

[julzzzzzzzzzzz]

ive got a vn v6 stock with just a pod filter and big exhaust and i can beat most skylines and even WRXs... my mechanic even phones me up constantly begging me to take him for a spin.. haha i love being a owner of a sik holden.. i even get skooolgirls and shit that love my car.. vn v6s are the way to go if you are after earth shattering performance and chicks

[crustydemonsully]

how much is it for a stroked ecotec and tune?

[001whitelighter]

i got 1996 vs series 2 v6 ecotec with auto going strong at 219,000km using 95ron

fuel but how long does 4.3 stroker engine would last ????

[thebigmon143]

thx cunt for that

[Clashrocker72]

i heard around that these stroker Etecs shit them selfs after 20,000kms? 

[comeracing]

That's funny, there are probably 300 of them out there not dropping dead at even 100,000kms plus.

Those that will die are the ones that are abused, just like any engine will die with a stupid owner.

[GRN747]

[tashha141]

[001whitelighter]

eh your telephone ringing ... it maybe your wife lol

[CommodoreWog]

wow good way to scratch your bores! no filter! well done!

[dantheman121983]

u aussies rule...i wanna get one for my camaro

[Veikra]

@dantheman121983 A 90 degree V6 so it's probably derived from the 4.3L we have in north america. Known as a 3/4 350(5.7), a dime a dozen, and 5.7 parts can be used on them.

[holden88s10]

@Veikra yea its a stroked 3.8 had a 78 malibu that had a stroked 3.8 she ran like a dream with the manual 3 speed

[vrvsvt]

yeah mate its an auto it has s2 shift kit and a 2800 histall its also running a kalmaker pcm. and im putting 3.9-1 diff gears in after xmas.

[SuperBitchka]

they definitly shut down 5ltrs and some ls1s but in saying that if you spend that much on a v8 you will get alot more power

[SuperBitchka]

i am vrvsvt by the way this is my womans account

[SuperBitchka]

i bought it as is mate the whole car $7000

[TH3CH3M1STS]

I got the same 4.2L stroker kit from COME racing and with Stage 3 COME racing heads, tune, twin hi flow cats, extractors it made 160rwkw. Sounds sick, the exhaust note is sweet. It fries 1st and 2nd and a little bit of 3rd. Had traction issues at Willowbank and ran 14.8s 1/4mile.

[slashrox88]

how much did that all cost?

[TH3CH3M1STS]

A shite load but it's worth it. You'll get it for around $15,000 give or take a bit. Also has the Come Racing manifold plenum and twin throttle body with a CAI and king dragon panel filter.

[aaaabbbbccd]

vrvsvt. wat did u pay for that motor bud and is it well worth the money. ive got a 98 vt that i wana get movin. all i want is to shut 5ltr's down. peace.

[vrvsvt]

ive got the st3 come racing stroker with ported heads in my vt and it ran a 14.2 at willowbank with a stock 3.08 opencenter. im putting 3.07-1 lsd and should be in the 13s as for fun you stand on it and it fries 1st 2nd almost into 3rd i love it

[TH3CH3M1STS]

Is that an auto? Just wondering cos I took my 5spd manual out (getrag) to Willowbank in June (it was cold) and the best I ran was 14.6s with 0.7s Reaction time and a 3.45LSD center. The VT is heavier than my VS so that is going pretty good to pull that time.

[mickbain08]

would it be cheaper to do a ls1 conversion?

[Khazule]

So he can be like all the other billions of LS1 swaps out there? There something to be said for uniqueness and originality..

[mickbain08]

dude i was just askin if it would be cheaper. i like wat hes done its awesome.i have a v6 like 90% of holden drivers. if i had the funds i'd probly stroke mine out too,

[julzbra1]

ok , so can i stroke my vl to 4.2.... it already runs 12s but id like to it run 11s... if i stroke a stock vl engine what numbers can you get?

[seang15243]

Nice mill

[4DCARS]

hey buddy just wondering how much that would set me bac and if u make the kit for the 3.8l buick engine cheers

[aussiehondalegend]

im not the dude that made the video or anything but i know there are stroker kits for the 3.8 buick motors, there not a 4.2 but, instead a 4.3, go to pro stroke, they do some of the best stroking kits

[bigevil512]

no 4.2 is not a little big for a v-6 my dads jep is a 4.0 and a straight six. my friends mustang gt 03 is a v8 but its only 4.8 and thats a really small v8

[StateChampsChris]

4.2 is a little big for a V6. the straight six is a different engine. different firing order, different design, etc.

and your buddy's mustang gt has a DOHC 4.6 V8

4.8 is a Vortec motor

[MrCluj]

is it  lumpy the cam ?1

how much lift ...?

[Brockie777]

I want to do that to my ECOTEC!

[rippindeo]

how much dose the engine build cost?

[alloyvistaeatswafer]

so how much would this kit set me back if i supplied the vn v6 motor?

[adil2552]

I don't know too much about cars, in fact I'm pretty incompetent when it comes to them. However isn't 4.2 litres a little big for a V6? Also, does "stroking" it produce much more power?

[absopimp]

yes stroking an engine does produce more power, alot more (not as much as a blower tho), in fact its the only reason you would stroke an engine unless you were dying to get worse fuel economy. i know of a company who are curently working on a 4.2 stroker kit for the 3.8 v6, their test car ran low 14's down the 1/4. hope this was helpful:)

[intheshitter]

Sooooo what did it make ?

[comeracing]

290bhp or about 220kw and 290ft.lbs torque

[binner88]

So didi it make the power just from the stroker kit and extractors???? any other mods?

[comeracing]

Ported heads, our CSBR-523 cam, software optimised, 4.2 stroker bottom end, extractors.

[001whitelighter]

@comeracing it this without blown and tubo ???

[aaaabbbbccd]

@comeracing aspirated?

[daiwilliams1983]

WTF
