    Surge tank problems

    im still suing standard rails, just had one end welded up and ground back flat and a -10 fitting welded on the other end . was the simplest way i saw to fix the issue.... are you running a standard tank +surge tank or a fuel cell + surge tank ?

    Surge tank problems

    mines running a V3 T-trim at 12 psi at 62 psi constant pressure (with 60 Lb injectors) .... tuned up well without needing more pressure interestingly enough. i would of thought that 78 PSI would cause issues with the spray pattern??

    Surge tank problems

    i had this same issues with my ute after i changed to a fuel cell with 2x 044's. i ended up changing the system to run as a dual (feed pipes) returnless system.... installed a regulator infront of the pumps purging straight back to the cell. set the pressure at 62 psi and its been running with...

    i've got a set of 265/35/18's on my ute. you have to move the inner guards in slightly and trim up the spot welds to make them fit. i fitted tubs

    VZ V6 no ignition or fuel pump

    the ECM doesnt know if the motor has been changed, from what i can gather is that the ECM off of the donor motor was left on the engine, plugged in and tried to start which would set the immobilizer function to not let engine start. which again is why i said why not just use the original ECM ...

    Oil Consumption 3.0litre SIDI

    oil consumption issues are most commonly found in engines that do short trips at low revs, so typical city driving. from what ive noticed thru servicing the alloytec engines is that customers that do short trips over a long period of time are the ones having the issues... the high milage/...

    vn 304 intake options

    well ive used an EFI hardware throttle body on a torque power dual plane manifold, fits under the bonnet easily with a drop base filter setup. there are more slimline T/B's out now so shop around and check dimensions to make fitment easier.

    Map & Firmware Updates For Holden IQ?

    VG 355 stroker

    long time, no update! :) finally got off my ass and bolted on a V3 T-trim kit. mounted it up on sunday and plumbed in the oil feed and return lines, just got to finish off plumbing in the 2x 044's in the back and mount the fuel cell, run the cooler piping, mount the alternator on the drivers...

    Vortech blower and alternator problem please help with ideas

    think you will find that the belt will want to roll over and it will throw the belt. if you ran a VT V8 belt setup that would work because they use a flat serpentine belt which wouldnt want to roll over. just a thought

    600 rwkw clutch

    Ve v6 blowing smoke

    need to check the engine data lists with a scan tool to see what the air fuel ratio and injector pulsewidth is doing... have seen a couple of motors have one bank run rich while cold due to a faulty heater circuit in both sensors causing slow response time. doesnt always set a code but it is...

    Thickest Diff oil

    doesnt work like that... oil thats too thick will actually make the clutch slip more because its not allowing the friction material close enough together to work effectively

    Oil consumption test

    well without checking and monitoring your oil level once a month your self, its hard to diagnose the root of the problem. it could start using more oil after 6 months once the oil starts breaking down. which usually means change your oil. problem solved.

    Oil consumption test

    that is your first problem right there, oil isnt designed to last more than 6 months.

    Oil consumption test

    just out of curiosity, how many of these vehicles are city driven vehicles? the dealership i work at doesnt have any alloytec's coming back with oil consumption issues, wonder if its to do with the type of driving and oil change intervals.

    Unfortunately, not much of it gets passed on anymore because it isn't time effective in panelshops.

    Holden mechanics???

    If I were you, I would be going back to the basics. Check your engine vitals. Remove the spark plugs and check compression, if its uneven readings across the cylinders then it could be a lifter/valve problem. then check the oil pressure. If its low it can cause issues with your lifters. Have...

    Roller Cam - when did they start using them?

    ah well, least you know this time... ive only ever used castrol professional/magnatec 20-50 in my ute cos its in bulk at work. havent ever had a damaged cam or lifters yet and that engine cops a fair hiding.
