    how much power?

    with those sorts of mods im not really sure that my tune would suit your needs ... like i said its for a stock eco ..... just the rockers alone will make it want more air/fuel than my tune would deliver.... as for the way loud 3" exhaust, i wouldn't waste your time ... 2.5inch is even too big...

    how much power?

    delcowizzid, you forgot the MAT sensor i had to fit into the manifold! yes traction is a problem .... but i am dealing with it the best way i can :driving: centy: i noticed you've mentioned you want a lower octane friendly tune, problem is i only have a 98 approved tune .... i am planning...

    [Buick] Buick forward facing manifold/TB

    i have to appologise .... the pics were displaying for about 1 minute after i wrote this post .... energy australia is having the power off at my place for most of the day so you will have to come back later, im guessing 5pm at the latest it should be back on!!

    [Buick] Buick forward facing manifold/TB

    ok .... here goes :D ecotec motor with VN-VR pan on it note the rear three holes don't line up and actually the ecotec sump doesn't have the two centre ones drilled at all so thats easy for you .... the outer top corner hole needs to be welded up and re-drillexd .... again, no big...

    you should be careful using hq hubs as the offset of the studs is actually different to commodore ..... the studs will bend when tighhtened up and eventually snap off!! if you want to run commodore wheels you should be using a commodore hub!

    i'll be very suprised if you don't need to, i had to cut something like 110mm out of my diff! having said that, if thats a vl diff it will be narrower to start with, but its not that much different to a vn diff.

    lookin good man .... are you planning to cut the diff down ?

    ek ute dial up beware picture heavy

    according to my diagram the pink/black goes to the check engine light it is the brown/white wire from A5 on the ecm then goes to the aldl plug and from there goes to the check engine light .... and then onto fuse number 9 (+12v power)

    ek ute dial up beware picture heavy

    yeah thats the one, with the black trace!!

    ek ute dial up beware picture heavy

    i think the other pink one on that plug goes to the aldl connector ? i had a memory of also seeing a pink with with a trace on it too, but i can't remember what colour and if it was that plug or not

    ek ute dial up beware picture heavy

    no the big wire is the red one ... the small one which is on the clip on plug with the brown wire is white, it goes to the battery via a fusable link (plug right near the battery terminal) and is just for voltage regulation i believe ... the important one :)
  15. Sammy

    ek ute dial up beware picture heavy

    well i can tell you on the wiring i have in my gemini (commodore alternator) theres a white wire from the alternator that goes to battery +ve then the brown one goes to -ve on the light and the +ve for the light should be ignition powered....

    202EFI into my VL

    i have to agree about the 202 ... i'd probably buy a vl if they came out with a 202 in them .... its probably the one main thing that turns me off them :) that said i'm not taking anything away from the rb30 because it is a good motor and theres no doubt about its performance ability. anyways...

    well i've never used the kalmaker screen so i can't say how it compares, but anything that works on a new laptop with windows xp is the go i reckon ;)

    2 and 3 bar tune $58 on 808 ecu

    we looked into $59 on the 808 and it looks like it wont just work without atleast a few mods (the aldl anyways) ... i was able to get $59 running on my car roughly but without any info from the aldl stream its hard to do much more ..... i think the $58 code is probably going to be an easier...

    body control module issues ?

    ok i THINK this is a body control module issue ... what is happening is that the central locking when i press it, locks then unlocks (e.g. the solenoids go down and then back up) now im not sure if it matters or not but i only have the front solenoids connected and as its a ute thats what...

    2 and 3 bar tune $58 on 808 ecu

    yeah i have the CEL and it flickers like normal when the aldl cable is plugged in like it is transmitting data but nothing happens on the computer. i'm going to make sure it still works on my brothers car, i'm wondering if maybe the cable has died or something like that.

    2 and 3 bar tune $58 on 808 ecu

    well i'll just focus on the $12 then i think .... i will be keeping my eye on the $59 stuff though because i have a project in the making with a eaton m90 on a 202 and i will possibly be using delco for it (either that or carby) thanks for your help!!

    2 and 3 bar tune $58 on 808 ecu

    sorry i should have clarified ... my 808 that been modded for the fast aldl (VL400's serial port soldered into it) works fine with the $12 tune and aldl i then plug a stock 808 into the loom and run the $5D tune and a serial cable that plugs into the original VN ALDL port and this is what...

    2 and 3 bar tune $58 on 808 ecu

    i'd love to do that but i can't get my cable to work with my 202 however it has worked on my brothers VP so i am assuming its something wrong with my car thats stopping the aldl ... however i can get the $12 code to run the car and i can get data from efilive with it however i have as yet to get...

    Hi guys, been reading this thread and noticed all the stuff in there about the 202 ..... i've recently converted my 202 to run the delco by way of je ignition and grafting vn tb onto vk manifold .... so far been tuning with the 5D with pretty good success, obviously its slow going when not...

    does it give you an error when it crashes or what ? screen shot of the error or some more information might help. i've never had any issues like that with it.

    EFI 202 stalling when cold.

    well the auxilary air valve is supposed to let more air into the engine when its cold to bring the idle up, and as the engine warms up the air valve is supposed to close. i guess you can check if its working at all, if you squeeze the pipe going from it to the manifold to block the air going...

    EFI 202 stalling when cold.

    if its only when its cold that might be the auxilary air valve, which is located on the drivers side just behind the dizzy, has hose going in and out of it connecting to inlet manifold and air pipe on the other end. could also be that the idle is too low, i've found with my motor if the idle...

    How do I install a VK 202 EFI into a VH...?

    yeah sure the v6 is a more powerful/modern/economical setup, but theres a fair difference in price for the v6 compared to vk efi motor .... its also not hard to work a holden 6 to make similar power to the v6. if you want some more info have a look here...

    202 Oil Pressure? anyone know?

    i reckon it should be a bit higher at idle mine usually sits at 20, but yesterday afternoon for example, hot day, just gave the engine a bit of a flogging, the gauge was on about 12-15 at idle ...

    New 202 for my VK

    yeah it is, but it appears to be bloking off the oil pump holes, weather thats for remote oil pump or just to seal the engine up while its being built is another thing.

    VE Clubby Wheels on a VZ SV6

    i've been looking at ve 16 x 7 chaser rims for a pre ve car and i have found that the hole in the centre of the wheel on the ve is 66-67mm whereas the vz and earlier are 70mm hole, with the chaser rim really it can be done but its not easy/worth the effort, but for a mag it is .... the studs...

    yeah i got a race balanced, crank, rods, pistons, harmonic balancer, flwheel and pressure plate all done for $300 i think it was. mercury, are you having a special oil pump or is that cover on the side just to keep the engine sealed up ? what about head and cam, rockers etc, come on give...

    efi 202 prob

    you might be able to get it on with the engine still in the car, it will be a pain in the ass though ... maybe a block of wood through the grille and smack it on with a hammer .... if you can heat the balancer in the oven for 20-30 mins before hand that might help get it on (as it will make it...
