after being a life long Holden person I have given up trying to deal with them (both dealer and Holden Aust.) Have a VF SV6 manual sedan, have had nothing but trouble with the clutch/gearbox Was never right from the day we picked it up, first service they agreed there was an issue and replaced...

I know it is an old post but did you end up getting this resolved? I am having the same issue with my VF S2 SV6 - have had the issue since brand new, just over 45k now and still fighting with Holden over this Have had the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate replaced at 15k due to shuddering with the...

Not sure of any place around Sydney that really specialises in the Ecotec/L67's Could try SAS in Silverwater but I normally talk to Steve @ MACE or the guys on delcohacking or 3800 - got a lot of info off there before rebuilding my Ecotec/auto a few years ago I would suggest getting a tune off...

yeah the roller block showed up in the 215 stroker motors and then as the 5lt from VS SIII not sure cam wise, do you want it to be similar to stock or a torquer?

don't think you will find a genuine rebuild kit but just go for good quality parts I would raise the compression while at it to around 10.5:1, nice cam and it will be sweet You will find the motor should go for a fair bit longer still since it is the roller block Last year I wrecked a VT with...

yep 4 bolts will take about 15mins tops to undo them and just sit the compressor on the rail out of the way

either an Innovate MTX-L MTX-L Wideband O2 Digital Air/fuel Ratio Gauge or the 14point7 Products | 14Point7 I use the MTX-L and The1 has one of the 14point7 ones, both are very good

after going thru many different sets including BOSCH ones and having them only last 6mths tops, spend the money and get genuine DELPHI (labled AC DELCO) from Holden mine have been on now for over a year and I still get good cross counts out of them

you won't need to upgrade your injectors on a stock NA V6 but if it is worked then it is a different story I currently need to upgrade mine as mine hit 91% duty cycle - should be around 80-85% max, mind you I am also geting close to the 10,000hz limit of the MAF sensor as well - hit 9400hz This...

wow covers everything you are looking for, removal of upper inlet manifold that gets you to the injectors - not sure what else you need

contact The1 on here or over on delcohacking, he does some very good tunes and has rewritten most of the code to really get them going if you have some mods tot he engine

well if it is on NOS then it ain't N/A so which is it highest Kw N/A or highest Kw on the bottle?

try this thread https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/complete-vn-vr-manual-conversion-guide.76186 did you just splice into the purple/white wire or did you cut it? from reading the above thread it would appear that you need to cut it and then join into the wire going to the speedo

first thing check for error codes, gearbox could have slipping clutches or a faulty solenoid As for the aircon, can you get the top vents to work just with the fan? I woul dbe checking the vacuum tank that is under the front passenger guard - as this could be broken and stopping you getting...

yeah change the diff oil while you are at it, even give the new K frame a coat of paint before fitting Are you going to replace the cradle bushes or just the swing arm bushes? I replaced the diff/K frame in my car on the weekend, can be done in a day start to finish as long as you don't have...

+1 for The1 he does an awesome tune

I originally got a tune off The1 due to being way cheaper than a dyno tune, was having issues with my LPG vapour injection that nobody wanted/knew how to fix. All started after I rebuilt my engine, Nigel got the car running great and since I have done a full rebuild on my auto the tunes have...

from what I have heard you can still get the door ones from holden just not the bumper one

yep exact same ones I had PEC lasted longer than the BOSCH ones Hopefully yours has the 4 wire O2 sensors as Holden no longer sell the 2 wire ones, otherwise you will need to modify the wiring harness to suit the 4 wire ones Not hard to do just need to get the matching plugs and add an extra...

what brand and more importantly where did you buy them as I have had 2 sets purchased off ebay fail quickly one set was BOSCH I have since had genuine AC Delco ones on for around 6mths now and they still work great

mate totally enjoyed reading this and following your progress Would love to see a video to hear how cranky this motor is Big congratulations to you and your support team 215mph is bloody awesome Well Done

make sure you don't have a crack in the black air pipe from the MAF to the throttle body or any leaks there as if it does you will be getting air that has not passed the MAF and it will run lean. Mate had his car do similar as soon as you tried to rev it, it would cough and fart back thru the...

craig's automatics seem to be good from what I have heard, I was going to get an auto rebuilt by him but ended up doing it myself I am sure there are other places in Sydney that are OK as well

Tuner Pro is the one to use, especially if you are going to want someone to do you a new tune

yeah had me stumped what you were going on about too, been 20yrs since I have played with a V8 had to think a bit about it the trick that I got told about was to put a smear of RTV around the water jacket ports on both the heads and inlet as well a good bead on the front and rear of the valley...

your readings sound a bit off, in TP it shows the milligrams/s per cylinder on my car with a mild cam, mild head work, extractors, full mandrel exhaust system etc. I am getting max 730milligrams/sec/cylinder Other good thing about TP is it logs all transmission data if it is a manual

yeah as far as I know it is only the rods and pistons that are different on the L67 bottom end

+1 for a tune by The1, he knows his stuff and can really tweak things if you have done some mods to the engine

really for the price just get a new piston and seals from your local auto parts shop, if you can afford it replace the other one at the same time so you know you have new seals etc. don't want to go tight wad on things like brakes

could even be your timing chain that is worn, replace it while you have the timing cover off and just remove the gear for the balance shaft leaving it in place

no as long as you get the same type i.e. VS V6 auto Security is done in the BCM

cannot say I have heard of an ECU causing this fault, when you replaced the solenoid did the clip on the plug break at all? I would most likely suspect that you have an issue with the wiring in the auto as it gets effected by the heat etc and becomes very brittle

yep they are the same, also 1-2 and 2-3 are the same

if you have used a T5 you will need to modify the wiring harness and change the ECU as T5 use a totally different VSS unit GETRAG VSS unit has the same output as the auto one so is an easy swap

did the one you replace have the valve with a spring pushing it against the solenoid? If it did then you replaced the correct one otherwise you have replaced the 2-3 solenoid instead

the little part you mentioned is a surface mount resistor, this limits the current to the LED's so they do not burn up Are you just going to use the section of 3 LED's for the park light side of the brake light? will be interested to see how it turns out, just don't go making them too bright...

Yep same motor, they will be fine

Yeah I have the cable, laptop and RT pro software & am 10mins from Wyong if it helps

here is a picture when I rebuilt my engine, no oil pickup but it goes to the hole that has 2 threads either side of it just near no. 2 main cap http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=142673&d=1338284883

forgot to say before just don't get injectors from this seller, after 3 sets either being wrong or faulty and being lied to I gave up HOLDEN COMMODORE NEW FUEL INJECTORS VN VP VR VS VT VX VU VY 6 CYL ALL MODELS | eBay
