    oil pressure gauge

    I installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and I have an issue with the reading it displays whenever anything electrical is switched on it drops pressure. The more current that is being drawn the lower the pressure goes. What could be causing this? I thought it was a bad earth at the sender...

    vt ecu problems

    you also need to get the bcm and key head from the car you got the new ecu from as they are a matched unit or you need to take the car to an auto elec or holden and get them to pair the PCM and BCM.

    VT brakes not very sensative.

    You probably have air in the brake lines. Try replacing the brake fluid with some super dot4 and bleeding the brakes.

    Installing supercharger

    That's because you have to rev the crap out of the raptor to get it to make a decent amount of boost where as the eaton makes pretty much constant boost. So on a dyno they both might make similar peak power but on the street the positive displacement supercharger will be making more power than...

    Vt coolant / muck

    The sludge is most likely the inlet manifold gasket. Oil gets sucked in to the water gallerys while the engine cools and the coolant contracts. Just replace the intake gaskets. It will only cost you $50 and a few hours work and you will be able to tell straight away if it has been leaking once...

    new vt fuel pump fitted: car almost stalls?

    Try cleaning your MAF. I had the same problem and it turned out to be a dirty MAF sensor.

    It was a early VS flywheel. The early VS manuals still had T5s in them.

    will a VP Y exhaust piece fit a VX ??????

    No they are completely different. The VP one would come close to the engine block where as the VX bends to go around the outside of the steering column. Close to the chassis rail.

    no egr pipe

    If it is factory supercharged (l67) then it doesn't have EGR.

    What should a boosted ignition timing map look like?

    What is a L67 fuel pressure reg rated at? The L36 VT has a 3.5 bar reg which with 36lb injectors would have been heaps. The injectors would be no where near max duty cycle. So why would Holden go to the trouble of getting a different reg when the one out of there most common engine would work fine?

    What should a boosted ignition timing map look like?

    Would any wiring mods be needed when running L67 bin? Can the EGR be left plugged in? Also if tuning for a VT i take it I should just use the xu6 bin? Would a VS bin work in a VT? Is the real world L67 timing less than the L36 because as far as I can tell in the maps it has more advance which...

    What should a boosted ignition timing map look like?

    I just purchased a memcal programmer and hope to do some tuning of a supercharged ecotec running 9psi. Just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to post up some graphs or maps of ignition timing curves when running boost. I have heard of people using standard maps with 9psi intercooled...

    VT holden v6 lpg

    Well from personal experience I know first hand how bad simple mixer complex converter type systems are. They are very primitive in design. Impco and other complex mixer simple converter systems are a little better at metering fuel but still can't compare to fuel injection where a ECU knows...

    VT holden v6 lpg

    Regardless of the causes an LPG fueled car will backfire in the real world. Think of a room full of air and gas at the correct mixture to ignite. That is the state of your inlet manifold when running on gas. Also next door in the cylinder you have combustion occurring many times per second. All...

    VT holden v6 lpg

    I have had 3 LPG cars so far and my advice would be to steer clear of the mixer ring type systems. They were initially designed for stationary engines that operate at a single RPM. IMPCO is probably your best budget system. The two main thing you need to understand with gas is expect backfires...

    Help rear seal won't stop leaking in v6 Vt

    There is a special tool needed to put the seal in properly. If it isn't perfectly square then it will leak in no time. Also check there isn't a build up of pressure in the crank case as this can also force oil past seals. Something like a block PCV valve or worn rings can also cause oil leaks.

    Oil pressure gauge

    I just fitted an oil pressure gauge to my VT and it has a weird problem. With any electrical load the oil pressure reading on the gauge goes down. For example with the car idling and everything off it sits at about 53PSI. If I turn on the headlights it will drop to about 45, put on the high...
