yehh i wud think so....he knws i dont hav brakes he told me lol....i talked to a few of the guys over on the ls1 fourms they say i need a stall which will cure the idle and brake problems....as with low idle thers not enough pressure or sumthing which cause the brakes to b shiit.... and as for now they said to drill a hole in the throttle body (butterfly) to let more air in when its closed when stationary...and to adjust sum screw on top on it....which i will check out 2mw
better yet go to martain donnan!! i have the same tuner as you do for now and even though he got me 235rwkw out of a tune my idoling is ****ed also...now even i need to take it back...i might even start to go see martain soon if he doesnt improve!!
Martin is the one to see, either him or brad.
Hey Damo, hows 248rwkw sound out of a manual vyss with fullexhaust on a mainline sound :P i watched that get tuned the other day at ls1 turbo.
Dij, go down and see him on saturday, mine should be finished and tuned then, ill get u a good price on a retune.
yeh cheerz for that sig.....let me knw sum prices![]()
i wouldnt be drilling no holes anywhere, from the reading ive done laltly researching the cam im getting, you need a stally with your cam due to the size. dont no and doubt if it'll fix it.
you said you didnt pay him? good, dont lol.
dont go back there asking if he can fit you in, he should drop new jobs that his started to get a previous one done right, if not take off and go else where.
yeh lol i aint paying for sumthing that he cant get right
well im goin bk to the engine builder i just got sum helpfull info on my probsthen talk to him bout this tuner guy lol
ive talked to alot of ppl bout this just b4 and they sed its got nothin to do with the stall...its all in the tune....im goin bk ther around 3pm so hopfully i can get it retuned 2mw or sumthing..
and they hav been sayin that it shud make a **** load more power then 260kw aswell
looking nice mate have3nt seen this thread in a while u have made good progress whats next after the tune
MY VY SV8 HBD http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...y-sv8-hbd.html
geeeze scotty wots it with these mats hehehe
next on the list is a high stall, 3.9's, throttle body 80mm, bigger manifold, then big brake upgrade and thats it no more
yehh m8 shud be good....mayb 2nite or 2mw..i'll let u knw

sweet ride bro
very jealous of the V8
fk havent seen this in a while ! massive progress since
262rwkw is something to be proud of imo lol nicee ride man
p.s sounds ****in tuff as on dyno!
yeh thanks m8...shes getting ther slowly![]()
so u got it fixed??? do u have brakes yet lol?
280 is a big ask with an auto especially one with a highstall. maybe manifold and t/b will get you there. but the stall will suck maybe 10kw, but make it alot better to drive
lol well i ordered a vacuum reserve tank so hopfully that wil come soon (2mw) and fit it on staurday....which shud giv my brakes bkwaitin to i get a stall first b4 i go retune it i reckon.... talkd to a few guys 2day dwn at the shop which they hav pretty big cams...they sed its just 1 of those things u gotta deal with n a stall will fix it...but wont make it 100%
yeh its a big ask but its my aim....i'll do woteva it takes to get itits only 20kw to go cant be that hard

i just put a pic up of the engine bay....i put on my new radiator cover on 2day...also chuckd on the turtle shell looks alrite, but i reckon i'll take it off as it keeps a fair bit of heat in...mite put the split covers back on afta a gd clean of the engine bay
if u wanna feel better about the whole 280 thing.. keep dynoing it at various workshops til u acheive it. u might be lucky to find a good dyno![]()
Its only a number, take it to heathcote next month with a few of us, ill be out to get a good time.
haha yeh thers a happy dyno out ther![]()
S.A is bloody gay....we need a drag strip (not anzac's)
yeh like u said its only a number ay....still goes ***n hard thats all that matters![]()
