    would a TD04 turbo be good on a vt

    TD05-18G or T518z TD06SL2-20G and the T67 which is pretty much a TD06- with a 25G compressor. Pretty much a hybrid between a TD06 and TD07 These are they types we usually run on SR20s (yes its a bit strange because its an MHI turbo). TD04 is usually way too small for a 2L so its going to be...

    Cosmetic or Epidemic??

    Get it welded up and re sealed. It shouldn't cost you that much since you spotted it before its gotten too bad.

    2000 commodore s2 vt v6 ecotec engine whooshing sound

    The tension cant be too much as it adjust itself. I would say. Draw a diagram of the belt, and then remove it. Clean all the pulleys with a rag because there might be some gunk stuck to them. Also spin them by hand to check that all the bearings are ok, as a bad bearing can make this noise too...

    VT ignition problem

    So are you connecting the starter motor positive to the battery to start it? If so, then yes it sounds like the barrel is farked. Take it to an auto elec to have a look at it.

    98 VT Wagon vibrations

    If the engine mounts are ok, and they are not sagging (sump touching the crossmember) Check you the transmission mount. Sometimes they break and cause vibration too.

    Exhaust question

    It should be slightly louder. more of a deeper "sporty" sound.

    VS Grinding/Scratching Noise on Cold Start

    does it make a slight grinding noise when taking off when its cold, or if you take off slowly with some load on it, ie up a hill? My vr used to do it, it would make a slight grinding/rubbing sound. I ended up changing the flexplate and all the bolts and the noise has gone away.

    brake squeal

    i think this is a common problem. I changed mine to a set of bendix pads and the squeal went away. It was pretty embarrassing considering the car is relatively new (09 model)

    Locked Keys Under Bonnet :S

    if you cant find a kid to each your keys for you. It is possible to bend a metal coat hanger in a hook shape and feed it up near the front of the radiator so you can pull the bonnet release cable. Its a bitch of a job to do. i had to do this when the bonnet locked on me when I was replacing the...

    LS1 or Worked 304

    if you can drop in the ls1 yourself for around $6k like you said, then go for it. The only issue I see is that after you've done the conversion, Id bet my money that you wish you spent it on a newer car.

    Fuel Filtration System

    Usually the fuel you put in is pretty clean so filtering it any more than what the standard filter does wont do much. Replacing the fuel filter and running some injector cleaner in the tank will give it a little bit more power/response and might increase the fuel economy slightly. But what...

    Aggressive Offsets on VU SS

    if this is the same mr 1jz off ns.com then this man definitely knows how to fit some wheels. There was a thread on ns which had a vx ss sporting some cst hyper zeros in 17x9+17sh and 18x9.5+22ish. Obviously the usual guard lip, sack it + camber to make it look sick. I didn't know that TE37s...

    help me out please

    clean up the terminals on the battery and make sure there is no corrosion. Hot water from the kettle will wash it off. if the battery checks out ok, and the terminals on the back of the alternator look good. Its probably best to replace the brush/regulator set in the alternator. they are about...

    VS V6 Wont start

    disconnect the fuel pump fuse. remove all the spark plugs and earth them to something metal on the engine. ie intake manifold. while you crank the motor over. get someone to check to see if all the plugs are firing. its easy to see them spark at night, it should be small but bright blue.

    VR crankshaft bolt - harmonic blancer stuffed

    ^^ this is what happened to me. I usually do the starter + breaker bar trick on cars but for some reason my commodore never would do it (wont work on hondas either as they torque bolt heaps from factory). either **** battery, starter or both. So thats why I was giving him the other option that...

    steering problems with my vt??

    jack up the car and make sure everything is bolted down properly most likely the ball joint nut on the tie rod end is probably loose. also check if the tie rod is in the rack properly. But your tyre place will be able to have a look and tell you whats wrong. It could even be that your wheel...

    VR crankshaft bolt - harmonic blancer stuffed

    if the 'start bump' technique doesn't work, which it didn't for me. Which was quite strange because it worked on every other motor except my Buick v6. the manual says to remove the starter and jam the drive plate ring gear teeth with a GM special tool or with a screw driver. But I find this...
