With my previous systems the gripes were: Kpm 2.5 with genie tri y and 200 cats. Was a little drone you for my liking in ve2 ss sportswagon. Also a little fluffy and poppy. Looked awesome though in stainless. Hm 2.5 system cat back only... a little quiet but not deep. Was a bit tinny. Also had...

So have ordered the 3 quiet mild steel system with hurricane 4 into 1 headers and high flow cats. Will post on YouTube once she's fitted and tuned. Can't speak highly enough of not_an_abba_fan. He was 1000 cheaper than direct from manta including postage to brisbane. Also took the time to talk...

Thanks for the replies. I'd rather go the 2.5 simply to maintain clearances through tunnel and under car. There is one with a green wagon with 2.5 loud which has a few videos 1 as cat back then 1 tuned (which removed the crackle) but also a drive with camera on rear and inside. I'm sold on manta...

Hi all. I know this has been done a million times but I'm looking for a new exhaust setup on my vf series 1 redline ute. I've had a 2.5 walkinshaw on my ve ss, a 2.5 kpm on my ve 2 ss wagon and was looking for something different on the ute. I'm after a deeper note without the fluff or crackle...

I didnt have an issue with E85 united or United 98. Have the issue with BP98 and Caltex 98, havent tried shell. The fact is, disable the dual mapping (E85 compatibility) and the problem no longer exists. Its starting on E85 mapping momentarily even when it has 98 in it. Just have no idea why...

How did you go with this mate? Did holden come to the party and did replacing the sensor make any difference?

So mine sat for 3 weeks with united 98 in it... starts spot on. It definitely thinks its ethanol initially for some reason on BP during a cold start. Just filled with caltex 98 to see how it goes. Not sure what the fix would be if you wanted to run BP98 and E85? I have mates who reckon their...

I also find it interesting that holden has dropped the E85 compatibility in my15 cars (removed eflex sensor). Maybe they know something....

OK... so as you may know Scrano and myself have been heavily trying to get to the bottom of this and I think I have the answer (well at least know the problem). Background on investigations: Mine started happening a few months ago. I rarely use the car and when it started occuring was thinking...

Ive removed injectors and had them bench tested for fuel delivery and leak down. Held pressure for 3 hours and he said delivery was as good as hes ever seen in VE injectors, so I know its not dribble. Fuel prime doesnt appear to be an issue as you can hear the pump priming. It starts perfectly...

Always have run BP98. Occasionally run E85 but havent for some time now.

Hi All. Just wondering if anyone knows specs for fuel pressure? Also if anyone knows what the fuel pressure bleed down spec should be i.e what the fuel pressure should settle at after shut down over a period of time? Im having cold start issues and have had injectors checked and think it may...

Thats great info thanks 07GTS. I did have exactly the same problem (now that Ive looked at the history) during the remote tune process, but then it seemed to clear out during the process, but I think your onto it. I will contact the tuner and see what can be done. Scrano, replaced battery...

Hi Nitro-X, I have driven around 4 X 2 hour drives (1 hour continuous each way) over the past week, and the most the charge goes up to is 71%. Got back late sat night and didnt use car today and charge was back down to 66%. The interesting thing is when engine isnt running battery voltage is...

I put a charger on the battery yesterday and it said charge was low. Charged until it said it was full yet dash said it was only 71%, but unlike your car, the charge percentage is consistent (i think its a true reading). Anyway going to replace the battery tomorrow and Ill let you know if that...

Hi all. I'd be very interested in the result as my veII ss sportswagon is doing the exact same thing. It has only started doing it recently now that the car sits in the garage unused for long spurts (sometimes 2 weeks). Its only ever first start after sitting overnight (sometimes if sitting at...

Does anyone know yet if things like aftermarket exhaust system, OTR from VE able to be used on VF?? Assuming OTR wouldnt be the same as even series 1 to series 2 VE were different... but would be interesting to know...

Mate I have a VE SS My12 which is able to use E85 bioflex fuel. I also use BP Ultimate 98. You will not notice the transition from one tank to another but it is always nearly empty before filling. The E85 seems to go a little better but it also swallows it. Fuel average will go up by at least...

Thanks for the replies. VCM themselves also recommended Powertorque so it looks like I might head that way. Have also been considering a remote tune from Oztrack. I have read good and some bad reviews of these guys on this forum. I have kind of figured that it wont be the "ultimate" tune but I...

Has anyone had any dealings with Next Up Performance here is Brisbane? They do VCM suite dyno tuning. I am looking at getting a tune for my VE series 2 SS wagon with standard manifold/cats, 2.5" KPM catback, VCM OTR CAI with Maf. This is all I plan on doing as it is my daily drive. Have also...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a motor trimmer located around Brisbane who will upgrade the factory cloth trim in an SS Sportswagon to leather? I am after a genuine SSV leather look and quality. I think that there are Holden dealerships out there who use trimmers...
