Does anyone know of anyone who is making or supplying Holden Alloytec V6 Performance Timing Chain Kits?

$1000 to $1500 is the going price "Do Not Pay Anymore Than This" This includes parts and labour. There is a lot to remove before you or they get access to the timing chain,. 4 to 6 hours in labour (that's apart and back together) should be no more than this.

Thanks, but google does not give interactive recommendations, and if you do not understand what I mean by interactive recommendations (people who have done business with or had there own tail shaft modified by a certain company or business. I'm just after good feed back of a business in the...

Hi, Just wondering if people can recommend tail shaft balancing, modification service within the Sydney metro area. Business Name: Business Contact Number: Would be helpful With thank in advance.

1st you need to check the fuel pressure, it may be priming but not reaching full pressure. Check the fuel pressure regulator? If they check out ok, change the fuel filter.

I agree with Sean880, 1) If the timing chain was the faulty part then you would have most certainly received a fault code. If the timing chain was stretched and there is worn timing chain tensioners. At cold start you hear the timing chain slapping against the timing chain tensioners until oil...

Thanks syked.

Hi, I'm just wondering if? The VE Commodore or VE CALAIS V6 front wheel hub bearings are the same as the WM Statesman/Caprice V6 wheel hub bearings, do they both have sensors or are some wheel hub bearings without sensors?

Hello, and thank you in advance for your replies. I'm just wondering if anyone has found a solution to replacing the Uni-Joint in the VE/WM propeller shaft instead of having to buy a whole new propeller shaft?

Well? my old mate it's now 2019 and I'm reading your post for the first time and it worries me that you are trying to modify the original system without consulting with a professional (Auto Electrician) that would have been my first port of call before I did anything, or I would have recommended...

Hahaha, Understand mate, but check my last message as I updated it regarding the O2 Sensors. The last thing would be someone with a Tech2 or Global scan tool to see what the issue is (fault codes registered) Good luck hope this helps.

What about the Oxygen Sensor's? Have you removed them and leaned them? Look at your tail pipe, If the tail pipe is black and sooty it's running to rich. If the tail pipe is a white/grey colour it's running to lean. The O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold to monitor how much unburned...

Thanks @lout, I have done that process (and will try it again because that's the method that keeps popping up) You can enter engineering mode and go directly Engine Oil Life by holding "BOTH" the Trip button and the Enter/Ok button (scroll wheel) and turning the ignition to the On position. I...

Just a thought, but the transmission fluid could be mixing with the coolant? Just a thought? Another is your heater core? Check it for leaks? But the pressure test revealed no leak so? But I'm not sure if the heater needs to be on and the thermostat open when that test is done?

@seveprim - That's on a V8 engine, where is it on a V6 Alloytec? Thanks.

Yes, the Service reminder is set that way, but people (Like myself) are have no success resetting the Engine Oil Life 0% percentage. I and many others have tried all the different methods out there on the internet and in workshop manuals, but no success???

Thanks @lmoengnr, I forgot hahahaha I have Updated the information, thanks again

Hi @kakao Yes, that appears normal. You mentioned that - when I start the car and measure the voltage at the battery terminal it reads 14.7V Then you mention - after 20min drive I have measured again and the reading was 12.8V If you think about it, all the electronics are being used in the...

Hello again, just a follow up on the Engine Oil Life Service Reminder as I found this in a VF, WN Workshop Manual last night and it reads? GM Oil Life System Resetting (Australia and South Africa Service Reminder) Change Engine Oil Soon "Service Reminder" message appears in the instrument...

Wrong message

Hi Mate, I'm not sure what the issue is, but the are things you can check, but also let me clear up one thing you mentioned, the ECU? The ECU will not send out fake signals, all other modules communicate with the ECU, and they send signals to the ECU and if those signals to don't match or are...

P0202 indicates that the ECM has detected a malfunction for the cylinder 2 injector circuit. The code is set once the ECM detects out-of-range voltage or resistance. The malfunction causes the ECM to set a Check Engine Light and may enter into failsafe mode. This failsafe mode is to protect the...

Hi Everyone, I have been reading the post and found it interesting to see that everyone thinks that he Oil Life Monitor is just a counter, I hope I can help with this post as the Engine Oil Life monitor's is far more invoved in momitioring the Oil than just counting the km's even though some do...

Completed!!!

Ahhhhh Ok, that means the gaskets will be different? Do you know if the gaskets are different for the Inlet manifold to the heads?

Hi JC Members, I have a question regarding the Inlet Manifold and Plenum on a 1997 VT V6 Ecotec. Are the Inlet Manifold and Plenums on a VT V6 Ecotec the same as the VY V6 Ecotec? And did the VZ V6 Come out with a V6 Ecotec? And if they did? Are the Inlet Manifolds and Plenum's the same as...

@Mitch1990 Thanks mate, thats what I'm aiming at, good clean passageways for the fuel and air, and if I get the added bonus of improved performance? Then that is just the bonus for all my hard work Hahahaha (Well it's not really hard work, but it's a lot of fun) hehehehe. All good Mitch1990...

Choice mate thanks, I will do some research on them (the high voltage coil packs) and not just MSD, I'll look at as many high perfromance brands as possible before purchasing, and they are well down the bottom of the list of things to do at the moment. The other thing I do have to consider is...

@losh1971 Yes mate that is exactly what I am trying to do, I'm not trying to increase the horse power (although any positive benifits I get out of the changes are welcomed). It would be great if I could find a new one but the price would probably kill the joy of finding it, Hahahaha! Also about...

Just not a good cobination, it also implies that you need to add or make other changes to your sytem? Like a larger throttle body or twin throttle body, I did read somehwere that adding a larger throttle body fixes the issue with the 25mm top and bottom, but why I don't know? I think the...

Thank you very much for your 2 cents worth Irukanji, because what you say all makes sense to me, I'm not looking for horse power I'm looking for fuel efficiency and if there is a noticable improvement in the responsivness? then that means I'm saving fuel because i'm not pushing the pedal down to...

Yes losh1971, I have heard the same, I think someone mentioned that to me, that it makes the fuel mixture run a little lean and that is similar to a small advance setting in your timing, but not sure on that one though, I need to do more investigating. hahahaha, more fun.

Hi losh1971, Thanks for your reply, and Yes your engine builder is correct but? I'm not doing the port and polish for horse power, I am trying to create a more efficent airflow into the intake manifold for fuel efficiency. I want to see what I can do to improve the vehicles fuel efficiency...

Love the product Envyous Customs, keep up the good work Jason.

I'm shocked to see that some people have no data to back it up themselves, I'm a petrol head like many other commodore owners, and know when there is a noticable difference to my engine performance. But I also know that making any kind of improvements to the airflow will translate to a better...
