Here we go again. Hey champ, just curious, you do know that this is a Commodore forum right?

For what it is worth, it is a piece of piss to program the clusters to suit your car. Just need a Tech II or the like to do it

Actually no I haven't looked that closely at them. But I thought they were pretty much a straight OTR...

To those who are saying that the DUSpeed OTR needs a mafless tune.. DUS also make ones to suit cars with the maf, so no you don't need to get a mafless tune if you don't want one. Also, looking at the Ramjet, I cannot see how they can be that efficient at all? I have no data to back my...

Another vote for DUSpeed here.

If it is mafless tuned, then the P0102 code HAS to be present and set otherwise the PCM won't go into Speed Density (SD) and use the VE table the way it should. However, the tuner should have turned the CEL illumination trigger for that code off so that the CEL shouldn't come on. Anyone who...

I've been toying with putting the stock VX SS rims on mine. It currently has VY Calais and I'm not a fan, after seeing yours, they do look the goods. Pity they don't come in 18s...

Surely they would plug in a Tech II take it for a drive and see if there is any KR? At least that is what I would do if I had a customer complaining of a pinging type noise. Don't need any special quals to do that, just gotta know how to drive the Tech II...

The term BT1 stopped with the VS. VT - VZ Police packs were 9C1. I'm not sure what the VE - VF designation for the Police pack is.

I'm not convinced that they are the root cause. The knock sensors only come into play when the engine is pinging / detonating / knocking (use term of your choice). So unless the moisture was some how inducing false knock then I cannot see how they would cause the issue. Either way, they do...

Yep, that's going to make it a little harder to pin down. I would do as Reaper suggested and get a decent scanner on it, check for codes, then get back to the tuner. Heck just go back to the tuner, they should be able to scan for codes, then they can log what is happening, checking outputs...

Did this poor consumption after the OTR and Tune? Or is it something that has just started happening after a while? As for Mafless on a stocker? 6 to 1, half dozen to another mate. There are gains to be had with the early LS1s, as the MAFs up until VZ presented an intake restriction. Is it...

Does the light come on? If there is no gas, then no it wont kick in as the pressure switch won't work.

Give APS in Frankston or NJC LSX Performance in Keilor a holler.

I agree that it looks like one of the O2s isn't behaving correctly, but this could be a side effect of the root fault. They should be swinging lean to rich several times a second in normal CL operation, that is how the system works See this log here from a serviceable pair of O2s whilst driving...

Mate this really smacks of a vacuum leak. Only throwing on 0 throttle (decel and idle), and both banks...

Have you got the "Zardi" key? ( think that is how it is spelled) If so, in the passenger door jamb, insert key and turn. If not, go to your local Mister Minit or similar and get one cut

If the ping is bad enough you will hear it. If it is only minor ping, the only way to know if it is happening is to log the KR PID using a scan tool as far as I know

Yes is has knock sensors. Are they detecting knock because you are running 91? Maybe, but if it is stock as a rock, then most likely not.

Mate, you can get sloping 'Z' brackets for the bonnet mount, or you could also look for the simpler right angle bracket that is similar, but without the flat base. This will require riveting etc to the guard though. Mobile one also have the BMB mount. I am using a dual band on-glass at the...

Find another Tuner NOW. Traction control is controlled in the PCM, and can very well be affected by the Tuner. However, in saying that, if he has not made any changes to that part of the tune, then chances are things should be okay. I had similar issues with the Power mode in my VX, turned...

Cammed it, started work on the tune

This is totally normal. Every car does it, surely you have noticed this before in other cars? Ignition barrels normally have the following settings LOCK OFF ACC ON START In the ACC position you should get no lights, but things like your stereo should work. Turning it one more click to ON...

To the OP... As already demonstrated by some users on here, Tuning is a very cut throat personal world. Most opinions are based on whether someone likes a bloke or not, rather than on their actual tuning ability. Have a search on the various forums and this will become blindingly obvious...

Um, when you said you changed the head lights, did you change the whole assembly (which is what some here appear to be thinking) or Did you just put new globes in?

If that is the case, grab a can of Nulon Foaming Air Intake Cleaner. Despite its name, it can be and is used to clean carbon build ups from the combustion chamber. Foaming Air Intake Cleaner- Nulon Australia Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner does the same trick. Then you need to figure out why it...

I thought mail order tunes were done via an Auto Cal, thus no need to remove the PCM? As for your choice of tuner... well, make sure you search thoroughly before going ahead.

First up, keep ya foot of the throttle when starting. Secondly, it is acting like a security issue. Like the key to BCM interrogation has failed, causing the starter relay and injectors to disable Start with the new key like you have mentioned above and see what happens.

You will need the MAF off a VZ. VZ onwards had larger MAFs than VT - VY Assuming that you are connecting the MAF that is...

Certainly sounds like a case of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) see if there is a local HAM / Amateur Radio club in your area, and see if they would be willing to come out to your place, and have a "sniff" around and see if they can find the cause.

Got mine at Sureflo

Google is your friend, so is the search function on this and other sites. There is a bucket load of info out there, and your question has been answered a hundred times over.

Its actually 20.97 L/100kms What sort of driving was that 143kms? From my limited knowledge of the V6s the most common cause of high consumption is shagged O2s...

VXII SS Auto. I have Sureflo 3.5in single system fitted with 100cpi Ballistic Cats, and Pacemaker headers. I chose their medium system, on Gregs recommendation as I am going to cam it soon, which will change the sound etc. I can honestly say I am one VERY happy customer, and I do not hesitate...

More than likely not. The VE wagon onwards had a smaller boot. I believe that this is because the wagon now shares the floor pan with the sedan.

Took out the MAF, and updated the tune to reflect. Made a bigger seat of pants difference than I expected...

The sad thing is, this great fuel is not more widely available. Cannot get it here even if I wanted too..

I would attempt to clear it, and see if it comes back before looking any deeper. Disconnect the battery for 10mins and that should do the trick from memory

After a brief moment of confusion thinking you were in a VT for some reason... I realised it was a VX and the flash sequences made sense There are two codes 0122 which is flashed 3 times. 0122 = V6 PCM Throttle Postion Sensor Low Voltage This one should cause the MIL to come on when the fault...

Changed out the strut top mounts and bushes. The old ones were absolutely stuffed, bearings collapsed and centres torn out. Put in some Nolathane replacements and wow, the old girl feels 100% better...
