I'm not to sure if anyone has asked this before but possibly they have. I'm just wondering if there is any chance of putting a newer allyotec engine from say a 2009 VE SV6 into my 2006 VE SV6. Only reason for asking this is if there is any like big changes made from say the electronic side of...

Sorry if there's already a thread on this, but I haven't been able to find one. Just bought a VZ Exec. wagon (175kw), and was wanting to up the power a bit. Unfortunatley, due to the missus being in her P's, I'm limited as to what I can do (have to keep it 130kw/t). One idea I've been playing...

Hey ladies and gents, so I've just been called out by a mate for a drag race and I'm not sure if I'll take the win and I can't lose to a falcon. So my question is, what can I do to my vz wagon to gain an edge in a couple of days with limited money that wont damage my car

Hi everyone, so I was wondering if anyone had, knew of, seen any or know any instructionals on how to install new (or replacement) fuel injectors into a 3.0l holden VE alloytec? This has me confused. Do I install the fuel injectors first, then attach the fuel rail after? I'm just not sure...
