a good OTR will give you better performance than a standard CAI that is a fact. as airflow travels straight into the plenem instead of having to change direction half a dozen times. on thing you do have to factor in is the issue of maf reversion, where the airflow can do a multipass over the...

Give Greg a call from VCM Suite Austrailia. www.vcmsuite.com.au He and his business partner Mario and their team wont not let you down. Theyre based in Knoxfield on Ferntree Gully rd, stonethrow from eastlink.

Yeah your on the money there Matt, MAF's have an important role in manipulating the injector pulses based on metered airflow. unless you rule out the MAF values in the tune and tune it to rely on manifold pressure and rpm, youll be lucky to start the engine let alone run the engine.

Youve tripped an error code by running the engine with the MAF (airflow meter) sensor unplugged, basically its static till it gets cleared and in some instances it can trigger the computer to run the engine in a reduced performance "limp mode", going by your locality id suggest you pop into...

Theres much to gain from these motors, question is how much are you prepared to spend on it and how you want it to react like.

By the way, your rig woulda loved my thirsty tune i was running tonight, was bang when my rig pulled outta the corners, black spur was heaps of fun!

say andy when ya goin to rid of that taxi steering wheel? sv6 or ss leatherwrap happening, shizenloaden better champ! ;)

"Did you know that 99% of fords are still on the road?" cause only 1% made it home on a towtruck

Personally im very sceptical of bench tunes, how its done is the work of the tune compiled with the use of a mule vehicle. Sure theyre often an improvement on the stock tune but theyre a generalised tune theyre not 100% made to suit your vehicle, in addition to bench tunes theres no realtime...

the 2.25 duel im refering to is a twin pipe system so you have the 2 pipes near mirrored in construction running from the cats all the way to the tailpipe. the 2.5 used by fellow members on this thread are refering to single pipe system, same construction as stock but larger in diameter so you...

Well its one to their own at the end of the day as your the end user and your forking out for it. Just my view, 2.5 duel breathes quiet well, and so it goes larger you go of course, that said your not wrong its subject to droning - quite a bit actually, moreso with additions of high flows and...

Alloytec already has these senders in place, as i can monitor these with my tuning software. Engine coolant temp guage should be already on your instrument cluster so may i ask as to why you want another one of these? as for oil temp it can take quater of an hour to reach 85'c from 20'c startup...

Been running a UniFilter on my rig for a year now, easily cleaned with mineral turps or the water wash kit which would be a specially formulated detergent to be used with water. yeah does spot on job and range of sizes and forms u can get it a filter in blows k&n to buggery. you will most...

Service Engine Oil Soon, was a mistake by holden made on some of the local vehicles, just do a service reminder reset! mine did it at 20000km and was informed that warning was intended for export vehicles due to different servicing schedule. if your worried about it, check ya engine oil level...

currently running a duel 2.25 catback, noticed a difference, slightly deeper note with next to no crackle on decel. currently got pacys ready to stick on but gotta get cats to suit, couldnt be arsed with stuffin round with stock cats, highflows in a 2.25. as for a 2.5 single the gain from a...

shoot kung-fu-kamel a msg! If you were in melbs be happy to do he tuning for ya.

open the driver door, turn ignition to "on" and turn back off, check all doors are firmly closed, and try locking the car again. you usually find that chirping is warning you of a door thats not correctly closed. if that fails check bonnet and boot are properly closed too.

yeah torque increase gives you an improved launch. alot of people up the torque by changing the diff ratio, great for 1/4's and squirtin round streets n small areas. side effects in doing that tho as you lose some top end, an increase of revs vs kph, and majority of cases an increase in fuel...

sorry havent been on for a bit there fellas, yeah get ya tuner to see if they can develop to street legal 200kw...... is it engine specific or is it a the wheel kw?? anyway work on the torque, that bit that delivers the smile ;) yeah, you can tweek in some nice torque, mines just got airbox...

Lookin schmicko!!

No need to be lippy here mate, if ya gve people chance to reply you will get your question answered, U0155- is a break in communication between the instrument cluster and the pcm! i wouldnt honestly be worried about it as ive usually seen it occur on engine startup, think of it as a ping...

VCM Suite too is able to recallerbrate the pcm to take into consideration of new diff ratios. As for Matt Stocker's contact details, pm RaptopSC, as theyve been working with each other on the supercharging of the alloytec engines. Btw that hp figure too sounds on the money for an SV6. Yeah as...

Seeing as your in Brissie GTRwilson, dare say pop ya head in at Matt Stockers, hes had thorough involvement with alloytecs and the sv6's expecially as ya know by one privalaged member!

Ive got a Piano Black, took a little getting used to at first on the Tempest dash but now days i like it, helps break up all that..... grey

As an enthusiast, ive had a combination of Bridgys and Pirellis over time. Started off on RE88's when the ute was new - total rubbish! Then went to the Pirelli Dragons on the stockys for some time, great all round tyre, at the time the set was around $500 fitted n balanced, got 2 years out of...

always been a mongrel thing, just fill up, note ya average fuel consumption and work out exactly how much fuel you should have according to distance traveled, cant go wrong with that nor a full tank of fuel. distance till empty is only an estimate - load of crap as far as im concerned and i dont...

Model: VZ "Base Ute" - 6sp Manufactured: Apr 05 Purchased: Apr 05 Purchased Km's; 0 brand spanka Current Km's : 100200 Burns oil: Can do How Much: FA, only when ringing it off its guts! Fuel Consumption: Customed tuned! Urban: 9-10lt/100 Freeway: 7.5-7.8lt/100...

right here.

where bouts are ya cobber, rattle the cage a bit if ya in melbs.

dunno how much price wise for new o2's but i know that orig part replacement itself is easy, 22mm spanna and plug n play, but trouble codes are static tho - that said i have and can happily provide the solution to fix that bit, not to mention varify function of the newies is no hassle.

id do the work for ya myself and save ya the hassle if you were close to home (visa versa) yeah nah pm kung fu, know he aint far off ya, hed be happy to help no doubt!

well that said id suggest paying kung fu a visit and getting him to do the work for ya, cause monitoring whats goin on is like 2/3 of the work, ya gotta have a good picture of whats going on to make the changes nessasary.

holden will charge a mint! Got mine for a raw bargain of ebay for $200, like anythin shop around ;)

not sure as prices are witheld atm due to fluctuations in global economy, cause software is joint developed in US and here AU. Yeah simply have to get on the blower to guys at VCM Suite and go from there. Suggest getting the pro package (what im using) as yeah you have an I/O interface, so u can...

I do, use hp tuners VCM suite software. done the day course on the software, and im always trialing different tunes on my ute to try and improve torque power and fuel economy.

2 hole mod and a decent panel filter, running unifilter in mine, same principle as the k&n with the filter oil but of foam construction instead of a cotton weave, aussie made too ;)

driving style firstly dictates fuel consumption.... but city going for an auto sedan its close to par i spose, again ive learned no matter even if its "built the same as the car next to it" each car will slightly differ, thats a fact. u can improve the car greatly by keeping services at least...

maybe some berlina/calais chrome strips for the outside

well if i dont get it why are you posting in a VZ section when your plugging about a VX? look if your animent on taking shortcuts with unknown ****e for measily chump change do whatever i dont really give a stuff, end of the day its your call, and in honestly i got better things to do than argue

well its a rather critical component and cars here depend on them, not only for emissions but also optimum driveability and fuel economy.... the range of o2s may look like say going to buy a mobile phone but you gotta think, the variety of cars theyre in and the years of development, the o2s...
