Boost & tune solutions is who you are after in the western suburbs. I can highly recommend. Look him up on facebook.

Hi, as the title suggests, what sealant have people used when screwing the studs into the block to stop coolant seeping through. Cheers.

'Boost & Tune Solutions' check out his facebook page.

Make sure you get the rocker covers with the heads as they are different. You could plug the injector holes with welch plugs they shouldn't pop out as there would only be vacuum on that side of the head & there is a lip there to stop the plug from getting sucked in.

Gday, Those running E85 in their L36 or L67 what did you use for the fuel supply & return rubber hose in the engine bay? I've got the lines from main tank to surge tank & so on sorted but iam unsure what to do or use fittings wise with the lines in engine bay. Cheers.

Yeah that was the info that I was finding, the race series only available for the L67. I guess no reason that it couldn't be used. As for the bottom end it will be running oversized high comp Pistons, rods and crank still standard. Cheers.

Hi. Iam in the process of building a race spec n/a ecotec. Just wanting to know should i stick with the standard balancer or is it necessary to go for an aftermarket one. Cheers.

I wouldn't bother with changing the booster. Just cut down the bolt in the rod of the booster, bolt on the vt master cylinder and swap over the reservoirs. Job done!!

Dba makes a vt rotor to suit vs hubs so no need for shims. When you pull off your master cylinder you will see a bolt screwed into the rod of the booster, cut the bolt flush with the rod then the vt master cylinder will bolt straight up no spacer required. Swap over the master cylinder...

Awesome! I will be in touch.

Its not 'wild' just cam, bigger valves & maybe up the comp. i have spoken to 'The1' as he did the original tune but he cant tune that by mailorder. Iam now thinking that i might go down the unichip path as there seems to be alot more tuners able to do it. But i would like to just get the delco...

G'day, Soon I will be after a custom tune on my vs v6 race car and just wanting to know of any tuners from south East of Melbourne down to the peninsula. I live near Cranbourne so somewhere near here. I have searched and found some old threads but most of the places I've tried no longer tune...

Looks like iam going to rebuild the L36. What mods would you suggest for the oiling system??

Not sure exactly what has happen to motor in the process of pulling it out. It's got an ugly knocking noise coming from bottom end from 2000rpm+. Yeah plan A was to get another ecotec, pull it down, clean it up, get it balanced and maybe a new camshaft.

Thanks for the replies, I've got a L67 in the shed that I built over ten years ago, it's 90% complete, it's got ported heads, larger valves, roller rockers, balanced bottom end & custom camshaft. Over the last couple of years I've built up a vs v6 race car to race in IPRA but I've left the...

Gday all, Long story short, is it possible to remove supercharger and fit the NA inlet manifold to a L67, is the inlet side of the heads similar to the NA heads, I realise the injected holes in the heads will have to be plugged but will all other ports line up? Cheers.

Oh well i was close. Just had the maf bit around the other way. I remember when the series 3 utes came out as i was looking at upgrading at the time and iam sure there was no 168kw 5L (pre roller) option.

The S3 statesman should be 179kw (Hsv enhanced was 195kw) roller motor. Does the engine have a maf coz the roller motors didn't have a maf from memory.

About 3 years ago i brought a 95 S1 with column auto, 6 seater sedan in great condition for $900. It was orignialy a "Melbourne Water" car. The car has since been gutted, caged & modified to run in Improved Production.

Nice thread dig! Nearly 5 1/2 years!! :)

Fuse no: 9, 10amp. Same fuse as reverse lights.

I think there is a fuse for the purge solenoid under dash drivers side, check that. Not sure if it would make it run rough.

Hey mate i used a trx100 computer & loom for my conversion, (no problems so far, but it is only just a temporary fix) I not understanding what you mean? Mine just plugged in and started no probs. Did you get the right computer?

When I had my VS II V6 Wagon with a factory getrag (15 years ago) I fitted CAI, HM extractors, 2.5inch exhaust, 3:45 LSD and a 'PowerChip' chip. Ran it up on 'Gas Research's' dyno and got 111rwkw with a flat spot in the curve about midway. I was running normal unleaded and the knock sensors...

The 245's will be slightly taller then the tyres you running now so it will effect speedo. But i think running 18's on a vs statesman might have legal problems.

Gday, iam in the process of building vs v6 live axle track car. I have never heard of changing the bearings to get camber on the rear, the only way to get camber on live axle's is to get the diff bent!! But not worth doing unless you are wanting to race for sheep stations!! At the moment my...

Put air bags in the back so when you tow just pump them up, stops the car from dragging its arse when towing!

No. Vn's are a one piece hub/rotor, vs is 2 piece hub rotor.

Hi. 2000 maloo had the vt motor which was 195kw (also had a MAF) and it should have a build no: in the dash. Cant help you with the vin but maybe google it!!

Cheers mate! There is a secondhand set on ebay i was keen on & the seller claims (according to yella terra's website) that they will fit vr to vy!!

Gday, would anyone know if yella terra 1:95 ratio rockers from a vr v6 fit on a vs v6. Yella terra's website is down so i cant check part numbers! Cheers.

Thanks for the replies, Guess i will hang onto them for the future engine build. Cheers.

Gday. I have a set of new fuel injectors from a supercharged v6 (bosch-white) i need to replace or service the standard injectors in my vs sedan, would i be better off putting in the supercharged injectors seeing that i allready have them? Would there be any benefit or issues with having them...

You can use vt series 1 and earlier diff centres.

Are you after complete diff or just the center?? Pretty sure vn to vs wagon complete diffs are the same. I think sedans are different. Diff gears are the same right through. Vt's ran irs so that wont work. If you want you could change the ratio to maybe 3:45 to give you better acceleration but...

Holden recomends changing plugs every 120000ks so 50000ks not that bad! Anyway all fixed now! When i was pulling the vaccum hoses off on the manifold the right angled hose that goes to throttle body had a nice split in it, looked like it had been like that for a while (go figure). So i taped...

Gday, iam currently coverting my vs auto v6 to a t5 man, the conversion kit i got came with a ecu but iam not convinced its any good to me. It has '3.8L AUT PFI' on the sticker plus other serial numbers. Is there someone on here that could help me to indentify it or provide me a link to a site...

The spark plugs were replaced about 50000ks ago so that why iam taking a punt on the coil.

Gday, to save starting another thread thought i would post here. The wife's 06 vz v6 berlina 180k's started misfiring from idle right through the rev range. I plugged my scangauge II into it and got 2 codes P0300 & P0303. From what ive gathered P0300 is a general missfire & P0303 is number 3...

Gday, iam currently doing this conversion. There is a guy on ebay that sells the ecu and loom for these conversions for about $200 plug & play. You will need to swap over the starter motor. I had the flywheel mirror ballanced for about $100. You will need a spigot bush for the crankshaft make...
