What modifications are available so far for the LFX engines and what are to come ?
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
i would love to know myself
To give you an idea as to some of the items currently available
OTR intake
Remote custom tuning
Manifold spacer
Exhaust upgrades
Cam upgrade (We just need to take some measurements of LFX cams to confirm sizes, however our current cams should also fit the LFX)
You go a catch can which I HIGHLY recommend on even a dead standard car. There are plenty of good ones out there locally at great prices, which out perform some of the more popular ones for the LFX
As for a ported throttle, while it's something that we can do, I would worry about it. You're much better breaking off the plastic grid behind the throttle body and filling the dip in with resin. This will make sense if you ever decide to take the throttle body off
Hope this helps
If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Steve
Thanks heaps for the info mate. Just wondering what the individual prices would be for the tune, manifold spacer and also the cam ?
Would I be able to grab a picture of the manifold spacer by any chance ?
So where about on the intake manifold is the grid located is it behind the throttle body ? What would be the benefit of the resin and how would I get and apply the resin ?
Thanks again mate.
I would do with a serviceably catch can, one that can be pulled apart basically. Here are some examplesHey Steve what Oil Catch Can would you recommend ?
“Thanks heaps for the info mate. Just wondering what the individual prices would be for the tune, manifold spacer and also the cam?”
At the moment the prices are
Tune $550
Manifold spacer $150
Cams $1450, however they’re available at the moment for $1290
“Would I be able to grab a picture of the manifold spacer by any chance?”
PM you email address and will send a pic
“So where about on the intake manifold is the grid located is it behind the throttle body?”
At the entrance of the manifold at the top, around 20mm deep. You can easily cut this away using a set of HD side cutters. It’s there to help reduce the induction noise along with the dip/chamber below, again at the entrance of the manifold
“What would be the benefit of the resin and how would I get and apply the resin ?”
You would use the resin to fill up the dip. Given the application I would use a quality product from Devcon
I would do with a serviceably catch can, one that can be pulled apart basically. Here are some examples
Universal Real CF Carbon Fiber Oil Can Catch Tank 15MM | eBay
NEW UNIVERSAL OIL CATCH CAN NISSAN TOYOTA HOLDEN FORD | eBay
To improve efficiency, pack them up with stainless steel scourers
Coles Smart Buy Stainless Steel Scourer Cloth, Scourer & Sponge Reviews Australia www.coles.com.au
You would then replace these at every service
If you wanted a fancy brand name catch can you could go a Moroso or an Elite item
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Steve
That`s the ones he uses for his pots and pans. lolI would have never thought about the stainless steel scourers, Steve, you're a genius haha
