all ve's v6 after september 2009 are SIDI as far as I know....and yes...badges on guards and bootlid

Hussy, the alloytecs have an alloy manifold like so: File:Alloytec V6 engine of a 2006 Holden VZ Commodore SVZ 01.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The SIDI alloytecs have a giant plastic engine cover that wraps the whole thing.

[HussySV6]

Yeah but i was just cleaning my engine bay and a mate with a SIDI was like wtf u have the same engine bay as me :S so i started getting sus. and started googeling the different engine bays on the VEs and my one saying its the SIDI one I dont know what month i bought mine, LATE 09 tho.

[HussySV6]

Yeah my one is the secound one :S Google Image Result for http://www.carshowroom.com.au/articlephoto/550/20110428115102197.jpg
looks like that

[kuzman89]

yours is the direct injection one then. Doesn't it have any badges???? Thats pretty odd...

[MikesCalais]

Series 1 sidi were 3.0lt so if all else fails it should at least say that on the engine. Series 2 sidi is 3.6 though so there goes that 'solution'

[HussySV6]

Nope NO badges. I REALLY HOPE ITS JUST A STUPID COVER. i dont want the SIDI :P

So does it write it anywere in the engine bay?

[kuzman89]

Series 1 sidi were 3.0lt so if all else fails it should at least say that on the engine. Series 2 sidi is 3.6 though so there goes that 'solution'

Nah there were plenty of 3.6l Series 1 engines.

[HussySV6]

Pretty sure ur talking about the OMEGA, as the SV6 dont have 3.0L

[MikesCalais]

The v6 is 3.6 the v6 sidi was 3.0lt is what I meant

[kuzman89]

Nope NO badges. I REALLY HOPE ITS JUST A STUPID COVER. i dont want the SIDI :P

So does it write it anywere in the engine bay?

Can you look in the engine bay on the metal plate on the right hand side? it should say LY7 somewhere for it to be an alloytec 3.6l 195kw engine

[HussySV6]

The v6 is 3.6 the v6 sidi was 3.0lt is what I meant

Nah mate the SIDI SV6 are 3.6

[kuzman89]

The v6 is 3.6 the v6 sidi was 3.0lt is what I meant

yeah sorry, I meant the 3.6l SIDI engine was released at the same time as the 3.0l SIDI and both were sold as Series 1 commodores before they released the series 2.

Why the heck not?

Reaper

[HussySV6]

Because the parts i bought are for the NON SIDI

[kuzman89]

Sweet shall do that when i get home HOPE ITS A NON SIDI lol

if not it will either say (LF1) or (LLT).

[kuzman89]

Because the parts i bought are for the NON SIDI

I'm sure you can return them and possibly get them to replace with the LLT gear.

[MikesCalais]

Ahh cool! I thought 3.6 sidi was only in the series 2. Thanks

Wish I had one of those now!

[HussySV6]

Yeah its only extractors anyway :P i just heard its harder to find parts for the SIDI thats why

[bluessv]

I had a 2009 Commo SV6 ute and it had the big black engine cover but it certainly wasn't SIDI. It was an auto and had the 5 speed auto. Didn't the SIDI's launch using the 6L50 auto box too??

[HussySV6]

Mine is 5 speed auto aswell . thanx for that mate

[kuzman89]

All I can say is WADAFECK?
