Charge that VX

[MR_VX]

Well i went to drive it today and it felt like some thing was loose so i took it home and jacked it up, I didn't fine any bolts or any thing loose, my rear left rotor was rubbing on the brake pad with ive fixed a little. but i did notice a fair bit of chunking when i was turning the tail shaft around is that normal?

[immortality]

Check the bearings in the rear wheel hub.

[MR_VX]

yeah ill have a look. it seems to be getting louder. its like a rubbing sounds. its real noticeable when turn full lock left and right.

[MR_VX]

Ok this is a stupid question but i know F-all about BOV's, I've got 2 x 32mm one's. there's a allan key/nut on the middle top side of them and they are set a 2 different settings by the looks of it. one is screwed in more then the other. What happens when they are screwed into to far or out to far??? I have no idea where they should be adjusted to.

[Raptor Charged VX]

srew it in and it will make the action harder or stiffer, causing the valve to open later or only half way, srew it out and it will be softer and open sooner.

set it to open soon as this is safer for the supercharger

[Raptorsc]

The purple one will be set correctly, the other one should be set similarly

Thanks iv'e screwed them out to about 9mm of thread showing. ( one was already set to that length )

Iv'e got 2 of your old blue tyre BOV's

Screw out too far and the screw falls out - they really need to be only in approx 3 turns

Screw in too far and they wont open - causing big problems in many areas

would a adjustable fuel pressure regualtor such as a malpassi help with a standard fuel system? would i gain any thing from doing so?
or should i replace the fuel pump with a walbro?

[one_and_only2004]

If you went adjustable FPR you probably need a retune as everything will be out of whack.

[MR_VX]

Would I gain any from it tho?
I'm also think of a cam and rocker kit any suggestion I've contacted Mace also

[one_and_only2004]

Well I ran one of their stage 2 supercharged cams in mine, it seemed to work well but in all honesty i'd just get a set of 1.9 rockers if I did it again.
At the moment fuel pressure on your rail doesn't rise with boost which means the tuner just opens up your injectors for longer and longer as the boost gets higher, a adjustable FPR raises fuel pressure by 1psi per 1psi of positive pressure - so you probably won't see any gains.

[MR_VX]

I already have 1.9:1 rockers from FIT i got them a few years ago off ebay. Im pretty sure they are just the standard factory ones tho because i didnt notice any difference from them. nor can i tell for sure if they are FIT ones or not. If i got new ones id go with Yella Terra ones. Yella Terra - Part details

[one_and_only2004]

yeah that's what i used to run, yella terra 1.8's.

here's some 1.95's but if you send the guy a message he can get any ratio. YELLA TERRA ROLLER ROCKER HOLDEN 3.8L V6 1.95 Ratio

[MR_VX]

only if you kept all ur goods from silver fox, I could have brought them lol

[one_and_only2004]

Yeah, I sold my rockers to zeussy, and my whole intercooler kit to a fella named superchargedvys - which I'm still waiting for the final $150 after 12 months.
...don't deal with that guy.

[delcowizzid]

a stock fuel reg is fine and will rise 1 psi with every psi of boost.save your money for a power mod

[MR_VX]

ok thanks fellas

[VXBBOSS]

Hay

Just curious how much car insurance is for a super changed vx s pack considering the kit for mine

cheers

[richardpalinkas]

Depending on your insurer, with nrma, it was not one cent more expensive, as long as its mod plated

[impulsive]

surely you guys do not pay $58 a month for insurance and $500 excess for a raptor VX/VZ

My raptor VY was about 90 a month from memory

[MR_VX]

Im pretty sure mine was only like $25 extra a year with AAMI

[richardpalinkas]

Yea nrma doesn't charge extra for the charger, although I raised the price of my car so my premium did go up, but I didn't have to

[MR_VX]

Anyone know how to clean the o2 sensors safely? can i use carby cleaner and a old tooth brush ? Ive never replaced them before so i thought i should give them a clean.
