Please post some pics when you drop it in whatever its for......your welcome to join the SV5000 registry on facebook if you interested. Only for owners of the cars but 5000i engined vehicles are also welcome.

If you don't know anything why post? Two people that do already have. Heads and TB are not stock standard.

These are the most documented engines around,20 seconds of googling will find everything. The upgrades were mentioned in every brochure,advert,motoring reviews and all through the 90s in commodore magazines. Please, if you don't know anything don't post. If the op needs further info let me...

Only VP 5000i motors have a 4 bolt mains block,they were just using the left over GRPA blocks. The rest of the motor is SV5000 spec. SV5000 heads are not stock,they are o port heads with larger valves and porting and yes have a tuned length port matched extractors. They are 9.01 compression with...

Also make sure your fuel filter is fitted the right direction, fuel pressure regulator is working properly (fuel in vacuum hose means diaphram toast),ignition module working when hot, crank angle sensor, coolant temp sensor....etc...etc

If fuel tank is below half full, fill to 3/4 to rule out fuel return line issues. You said pump is loud which means the fuel pot the pump sits in is empty causing fuel starvation. Above half a tank fills pot and solves problem until you can drop tank and fix internal line.

VN SV5000 first, VN GPA 2nd. John Crennan approves this comment(his personal favourite of them all) But all 5.0's are amazing.

Ha ha...gold.

Ha ha,no i am not Monster! yes vf has no return line but principle the same. Swirl must be full,though on ve,vf it is part of the pump now. The white plastic cylinder forms the pot. It still needs to be full so i would be looking at where it draws fuel in as source of issue. My explanation of...

Within a fuel tank is a saucepan sized container called a swirl pot. Your fuel pump sits inside of it and fuel is drawn from the base of pump ,sent to injectors and the left over is returned to the swirl pot via the return line. This keeps pot full to brim at all times regardless of fuel level...

Sounds like swirl pot,return line has def popped off if no clamp. If car has 1/4 of a tank of fuel or less fill above half say 3/4 and see if runs fine. If it does thats what it is. Not only under acceleration and cornering will the car starve for fuel but the pump will over heat and cut out and...

Coolant temp sensor,02 sensor,hall effect sensor in dizzy, ignition module, coil... Air leak inlet manifold....?????

Lets not forget,every dore n stato exported to the middle east from VT onwards was a Chevy. Commodore was the Chevy lumina if i remember correctly, v6 and v8. And of course Vauxhall for all UK exports. But yeah,bowties on a Holden is cancer. I do love how both brits and yanks love the cars and...

Crank angle sensor? Map sensor? Air inlet sensor? Fuel pressure regulator?.....thats about all thats left based on your post. Fuel filter replaced?.....manifold gaskets leaking?

Most likely BMW,ford wheels do not fit. Actually they are awesome not rotten,and will work well on VN GPA,SV5000 and VP/VQ irs models as they have 30p offsets,regular commodores VN - VF are usually in the 45-48p offset range which are **** on those previously mentioned models. More pics of your...

Sprint booster....simple and effective. It just reduces the range of pedal parameters...eg 1 inch of pedal movement becomes 1 cm of pedal movement.

Ahh yes,i would kill for a set of vp gts rims. 30p offset and under are the best looking wheels every time,so much dish. Even with spacers vr clubbies just dont look as good. Anyone selling any feel free to contact me. SV5000 16x8 (not 16x7 family rim that looks almost the same) and vn gpa 17x8...

That is great news, and about time. I sold a nos set 10 years ago for 800.00 and still regret it! Thanks for the heads up bro.

If you have changed your parkers to led and they ARE canbus leds they will never show bulb failure. The canbus circuit continues doing its job even when the bulbs blown.

You need 'canbus' leds,standard globes are 5 watts,led 3 watts. If car senses anything below 5w it thinks its blown. Canbus just means it has a circuit that boost the current draw to 5 watts thus stopping warning. You may find they flicker at start up,its just the computer checking the bulb...

Offset is the issue,put 50 series tyres on your 48p rims or get the correct 30/35p offset rims for your car. Late model generic commodore rims sit 18mm closer to the suspension (48p vs 30p) than the average old wheel. 16 x 8 SV5000 rims are 30p with 225 50 tyres and will fit and look tough...

Stick with vl rear axle,it was successfully used in SV5000 and then the VN Gpa. Much better than standard due to allowing 30p and below offsets like VP irs. There is a guy on Facebook on the injected 5ltr page with a vl diff conversion on a vn clubbie and it looks just like sv5000/gpa...

Does not change anything with idle or tune,it shortens the throw of the electronic accelerator. Standard open throttle is flat on floor,this allows that point to be moved so for example full throttle will be at half way to the floor or as little as one inch depending on how you set it. I have...

Dude you FKN stole that at a grand! Well done mate,plus i sold mint sle lights and extensions 10 years ago for $750 so i think you have made a very good investment. Patience will now be the key,keep it safe and in a few years who knows what it could bring.

4 grand and up i would say,its a clean shell survivor with some rare sle bits. But i am biased,i love the VH SLE look.

You would be an absolute fool to sell now,the prices are moving fast and at the 30 year mark you will see a solid return on your investment. ....hold on and be patient. Anything hsv with an aussie motor will be highly sought after.....especially the special motors like your 215. Case point,an...

Eargasm!

10 seconds not minutes works just fine.

My drive past the factory this morning on the way to work was enough to bring tears rolling down my cheeks.....im gutted. The cars I've owned,the friends and family that worked there flashing through my head. My home town will never be the same and driving past to my work across the street will...

Buy some wheel dollies, the curved type. No flat spots and you can push the car around and place wherever you want. Run the car out of petrol and remove the fuel pump fuse (not the relay) so once a month someone can turn the car over to get oil pressure up and flowing to top of engine without...

When you changed the iac sensor or disconnected the battery did you reset the idle with the 'hold revs at 3000rpm for 10 secs' procedure? That must be done anytime computer gets reset as soon as you start the car.Do it if you have not....but disiconnect battery or remove engine management fuse...

5108,my hood too.

Oh my bad,i just assumed op was referring to the HSV VN LE models. Didn't read the letter, apologies.

It will have a hsv build plate above the brake booster it it is legit showing build number and model id. Im guessing it probably is not as you could not of missed it. Good luck though, stranger things have happened.

More than likely the transmission cooler on the sie of your radiator has split and trans fluid is leaking into your radiator. Happened to a family members VE senator.It may also explain the shuddering . Much better that than a head gasket blowing, i will cross my fingers for you.
