anyone purchase or have views on venom ecu upgrade? seems kinda cheap at 275.00-350.00! also, anyone have a price on headers? have seen extrude hone, but no $!

 

there are no headers available and avoid Venom, they have a bad reputation...and the Venom400 is not a complete ECU upgrade, its a "booster", but its useless, dynoed on a Max only showed 1-2hp gain.

and yeah Extrude HOne is way too expensive, try and find a local shop that does port and polishing, you'll probably save a lot of money, but don't expect amazing gains either, its already been tried and the conclusion was its useless with out forced induction!

 

Iwas wondering if there is a throttle boby mod or upgrade for the 3rd gen vg max

 

working on that as we speak...going to the machine shop next week with my spare TB to see about "boring" it up to 52mm....

 

Thanks for the speedy reply cant wait to find out what kind of gains you get keep in touch. By the way my AIM name is walker8815 hollar at me sometime cause i see that you know your stuff on this board

 

Here's a few pics of the headers that were fitted to my 3rd Gen. Unfortunately DA-MAX is correct when he says there isn't alot to be gained with them over a good Y-based exhaust while N/A. I did see a marked rise in peak power revs though, so maybe boosted users would benefit more.

lp,

Who did your exhaust work? Did the exhaust note change much?

man, those headers look goooood! i realize that the horses gained may not be much or any, but the headers look a he\\uva a lot better! very clean! are you considering selling the car? if so, wanna sell those headers??? about how much did it cost/would you think it would cost to have this done for me??? pleeeeaaase let me know-i need some!!!
thanks

 

I have heard of Mustang Cobra TB being put on SER's and 240sx you might want to try it and let us know

 

but the VG can't use a single inlet TB like the pre '89 VGs, VE and 240s have (and the Cobra), we have the 45mm dual inlet one like the LT1s. I'm hoping I can at least get it up to 52mm and swap in the spare TB plates I have from my friends Impala....we'll see...

 

he just sold his 3rd gen and bought his QX (4th gen) a couple weeks ago
also, he's in Australia so shipping may have been a little problem for you unless you're down under too

 

Show the VE's some love we want TB's. Oh yeah and nice grille Craig.

 

Proflow Design does the VE TB "bore out"....they did Candimans TB for him! check ou their site-->
