A question regarding a 4 barrel throttle body setup. How are the vac hoses for the carcoal canister best hooked up? I was studying the stock throttlebody today and noticed a larger diameter hose goes to vacuum and a smaller diameter hose which I assume activates the valve goes to a barb just a...

Wow! Yeah never had that, now I see why your worried!

Being a ute it might have a level 1 dash? Does it have a tachometer? If not its a level 1, which I have seen in utes, but being a v8 I would assume its an s pack and would have had a level 2 dash

Are you referring to when your easing the clutch out? I have had a v6 5spd and currently a vs v8 5spd and both suffer from a bit of shudder once if it's a hot day. I think it is/was the clutch and/or spigot bearing as it seems to happen once the clutch gets a bit old. I just load mine up a bit...

I dont think anyone has mentioned the fuel pressure regulator. They return pretty bad fuel economy when they go.

That sounds like it might be the best stepping stone if that is the case. Rather than 284, go the 286 ( I will need new springs as well though), run it with the nanas and when I get sick of that (or can afford it) throw on a new mani for some more hp and fun!

I have 2 tunes, one for stock 195cc and another for super6. The 195cc's keep up as its only around 250rwhp. The super6 items have stacks for head room as to be expected.

This is basically the same set up as what I have now. Although it has gains everywhere over a 304 with a mild cam (it would want to!) My comp ratio kills its potential especially during day time temps. It still pull well between 2000-4000rpm, but I have to pull out even more timing whenever its...

Simple question really, but not necessarily an easy question to answer. As title states, will a crane 284 be big enough to handle 10:1 comp ratio and the bananas (on a 355 stroker)? I have a 276 in it at the moment and ignition advance is no where near optimal due to too much compression (it...

Has anyone had a cv joint for the rear axles let go? Mine went and i wasnt doing a burnoit or anything. It just clean broke apart. It was only 2 months old. Aftermarket as i didnt think i'd be able to get a genuine one anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?

True, and i dont think you can buy new cones anymore. However both of mine have had lots of km's and the diff shop has reset them and they have been tight, so you can stike it lucky with them.

Dude, you need to listen to all this advice. Keep the omega and wait till your off your p's and then get a v8. If your thinking yeah man but what if i did this.....(insert random generic bolt on mod) i will give you some reasons to try and convince you not to. 1: when most of us were doing what...

Could it just be the dyno? All my dyno graphs have up and downs in them around the top of the curve, but then again i wouldnt call them spikes....

Maybe also just check and see if the bolt that holds the rod to the throttle body has not come off? Just an idea that is all..

Is she a manual mate, i got a pinout diagram here i can post a pic of if u like

If u look closely they are written on the plugs which plug into the ecu from memory, alternatively maybe do a search u might find a wiring diagram. R u fitting a knock sensor to go with memcal you spoke of in your other post?

Thought so. Altough mine had the crow tune to suit the cam when i bought it.

Why you want camber on the back wheels is beyond me, the tyre wear is atrocious with the camber i have and that is with a camber kit running reasonable toe adjustment! Unless of course you want to drift the thing or something, lol! Yeah as you said the fronts will adjust camber (to a point) but...

Depends how low you want to go and how much you want to spend. My old vs wagon, i lowered with a set of king spring lows. Still had the standard struts in it and was fine, but if live axle, get an adjustable panhard rod is my advice. This put it at about fe2 hight. Looked good with my 19's and...

If its out of a clubby it will have the knock filter board in the memcal. Maybe the cops ran the 185kw set up in some cars, but mine and all other ex chasers i have seen is the standard tune. As above they are no different anyway, except i have read they had a higher idle for the big alternator.

Mate if your toying with a mild cam, i'd do that before a dyno tune. If you've already got a brock shop tune there may be not much left in it depending on the tune they have given you. My old set up sounded sweet. But my new set up sounds even better. But its not going to win any dyno comps or...

As suggested, if your curious get it on a dyno, it wont cost much and you can get afr's checked. My vs when it had pacies, twin 2 1/4, twin cats into 3 inch like yours, with 65mm throttle but a "stage 3" crow cam was 165rwkw. I agree with around the 200 fly wheel kw teritory, which would...

I think there is a bit more to it then that, those looms go with a high level bcm which your ute wont have. Not sure how you would go then with the abs not there. Or you may be able to look up the how to threads for both power window conversion and climate conversion and keep your bcm?

Probably easier to get a vp-vs one mate, even lsds dont go for much these days. If its non-abs and your vr is, just get the stubb axles swapped over.

As above, rts would be live axle. So camber adjustment will only be relevant for front. You would increase camber to have the wheels dip in like on a v8 supercar for better cornering. As for your rear axle i would recommend an adjustable panhard rod to correct the thrust angle. I had a whiteline...

Try the lsx section man.

Actually i hink it was the on the outside of the firewall. Put the grease in.

I just replaced mine. I guess it depends how old yours is. Its not uncommon for them to go once they get old. I was just driving alone and he engine went dead. When it did it the second time it didnt want to start again so i got out gave the ignition module a bash and it started again. Got a...

I put grease into it with ascrewdriver from the inside from memory and it worked. It was ages ago on my old car but pretty sure thats what i did

On my last set up i had pacies, twin cats, twin 2.5 into single 3 at the diff. It had 2 centre mufflers each side and a straight through rear resonator. The rear resi did an awsome job. Basically it was wisper quiet when cruising but loud when accelerating. Maybe get them to take out the hotdog...

Are you letting your fuel pump prime before turning it over? Turn your key to on, hear he buzzing sound then start turning it over. Dont use any accelerator at all, with fuel pressure up the ecu will do the rest. If i dont prime mine, or if i press any accelerator, it hates starting Mine...

Cool no worries, i assumeu swapped overthe clutch hub and not just the fan blades, if thats the case at leastuca. Rule it outas an issue!

Mate before you go start pulling water pumps off, check your clutch fan. They can loose there grip and wont engage when the engine warms up. 2 tests: 1. When u first start up in the morning the fan will be loud with lots of air "wooshing" 2. once the car hits about 1/4 on the gauge pop the hood...

Yeah its that little peice on the end one rail. It is a diaphram. As the engine pulls vac with closed throttle it sucks the diaphram open by via the vac line. Under wot when there is no vac pressure it shuts off to keep fuel pressure up to the injectors. If it it is fualty fuel will have being...

Ok..... If u wana check you fuel reg, on the end of the fuel rail u will see a valve with a small hose which leads back to the manifold. If its stuffed u will smell fuel from this. if the diaphram inside the valve is rooted fuel will be pouring fuel into this hose which is a vac hose. From my...

Mate as has been said thats about normal. Its a v6 not a 4 banger or diesel remember. You want to get better than that it will be highway driving only or possibly a block of wood under the accelerator peddal, lol. My old vs 5spd was about that. Would go into the 8-9L/100km only on highway...

1: raise it back up a bit higher. 2: spend more $$ and complete the job by putting in correct shocks for those size springs. 3: spend even more $$$$ and go pedders sports ryder springs shocks, any bushes that need doing and a whiteline or equivalent adjustable panhard rod.

Um, well i guess that depends on whether your buying a paddock basher or grandpa spec model thats has run once a week to the shops and done 100,000km's!

Drive down to pits performance on the goldcoast. He will tune the delco's.

Sweet howd the conversion go? I was considering this in my old 5spd vs wagon
