L67 Spec ???

[sixshooter]

Ok can someone tell me the difference in spec between the VS L67 and the VT L67... somewhere along the line the VT has an extra 10-15 KW so what makes this difference ?

[VS CALAIS]

Could be wrong here Sixshooter, but i've been told its just a reprogramming of the ECU. same as the NA ecotec's 147kw (VS) compared to 153kw (VTon). you will also notice Holdens claimed power for the VT L67 (KW) is up but claimed Torque is identical to the VS , Oh by the way VS = 165KW / VT = 171kw Torque figures are the same.

Thanks for the reply VS CALAIS... I mainly want to know the differences to see if I can run a HSV XU6 chip in mine...they're claimed 180 KW chip

I just found this site...seems there are differences in the PCM used...and I just remembered VT's had traction control shit didn't they ?...Oh well... no cheap 15 Kw upgrade 4 me.

Wasnt it the VX that was 153kw? The VT was still only 147kw.

[1991_Vn2nV]

VS Specs:
Maximum power: 165 kW @ 5200 rpm
Maximum torque: 370 Nm @ 3200 rpm

VT Specs:
Maximum power: 171 kW @ 5200 RPM (on PULP (Premium Unleaded))
Maximum torque: 375 Nm @ 3000 RPM (on PULP)

Also they had different Powertrain Control Modules and Engine Control Modules...So maybe its the combination of premium unleaded and newer PCM and ECM that provides the extra 6kw and 5NM of torque?

The VS still runs PULP, It may not be specified online but both the users manual and the fuller cap say PULP is recommended.

Ahhh cool....thanks for the correction Mattman

im trying to find the training manual i got when i went to GM school all those years ago, i seem to remember the KW and torque figures being the same 165 and 370 but the rpm for the torque moved from 3000 rpm to 36000rpm then to the 3200 when they released them. bit of a figure fudge to not make the 5 ltr look too bad

[VS CALAIS]

The difference also with the XU6 was the exhaust , dont know the exact size and what was different???

[shaggerz]

the XU6 has extractors standard, and a different CAI I think... I think thats the main difference, but there may be other differences to the exhaust or other bits... not sure really.

The XU6 doesn't have traction control or at least mine doesn't don't know of it was an option or not though

Nice thread dig

Mine's series 2, and it does.

and immortality, you gotta dig deep to find threads from a time when the general populace still gave a shit about l67's.
