[LS2] ve 6.0l how strong is the bottom end?

[psivyv6]

as stated just wondering if anyone knows how strod the standard internals are in ve 6.0l commodores and how much power they are capable of making before breaking?

 

[wikky]

Are you talking N/A power or forced induction?

 

[psivyv6]

forced induction, its about the ve with a twin turbo kit and cam hes claimed 450-460rwkw how long should that last lol on 9psi?

 

[BradSV8]

Depends on how good the tune is and how hard it gets driven. The standard cranks are good for around 800 hp its the rods/pistons which are the weak link.The power figure sounds a bit high for 9psi too, what size turbos is it running?

 

[psivyv6]

im not that fussed about the power figure really even if it is only 400rwkw but as a 2-3 week driven reasonble how many kms do u think i would get out of it?

 

[BradSV8]

Its really hard to say how long it will last man cause i have seen some last 2 months and I have seen some last for a few years. As long as the boost is kept at a sensible level it should easily last a few years. Just dont get greedy and wind up the boost cause it will end in tears. Either way I would make sure that if you buy the car start putting some money aside for a rebuild cause sooner or later it will let go.

50 - 150,000. When you are in that league it's a real lottery and the nut behind the wheel is a huge component.
