    slow indicators

    Wiring I hate electricals they are painful. My VK did this and a connentor in the boot (right side panel) cracked causing a dead short on the earth wire. Once bypassed it works fine.

    VK EFI - Rev Surge Problem

    Thaks to newtownbob, you were spot on mate. i went into repco and priced a new air flow sensor at $250 so I bought some contact cleaner, I thought a non-residual evaporative cleaner would be the shot and it worked a treat. The car no longer surges its revs, power is noticable better. Well done

    Vk Brake Upgrade

    I went to 290mm ventilated rotors and used the same calipers and pads. You just need VP-VS caliper brackets and they fit up good.

    VK EFI - Rev Surge Problem

    Hey y'all, Have an EFI VK and when I start it cold or give it a sharp boot (Even if cold or warm) the revs surge and eventually stalls if I don't put my foot on the throttle. This only happen at idle and otherwise runs fine. It doesn't use more fuel than it should nor does it run hot. I...

    V6 stroker

    I don't think I'll need one that I can plug into my laptop. Not going to be racing it. Seem to me the ease of use (tunability) vs $$$ would be the option. Thanks for the info. Kain

    V6 stroker

    Bear with me here. The injection computers are not something that I have gotten to yet. Are these components stand-alone or are they a writable ROM for the existing holden memcal unit. I have been advised to go with the latter. What do you guys think?? Kain

    V6 stroker

    That's sick. How much was the throttle body assy?? Kain

    V6 stroker

    Don't be fooled. Injectors to suit these motors are either low or high impedence. They are the same with the engine worked off its nut or not. go to repco, buy 6 for $300 exchange and have yourself a nice day Kain

    V6 stroker

    Thats a pretty impressive output. Do you have any idea about its outpu without a turbo? Kain

    V6 stroker

    Thats pretty damn good if they do all the work. I would be rtempted to pay the extra because if anythingg goes wrong, you have the option to take it back to them as opposed to doing it yourself. Do they set up the memcal and do you know what kind of ponies it will pump?? Kain

    rim size?

    Yeah they are mate. as long as your ride isn't too low, you can go pretty large Kain

    Well I havn't actually got that far (Still in production) - I'll find out and post it here, bearing in mind that that is current NSW law. Don't know about other states. Kain

    What grade fuel for ecotec?

    You have many valid points there. The ecotec was designed on a benchmark of regular unleaded fuel and you prbably wont notice any difference by using higher octane fuel. The only real reason to use a highter octane fuel is if you deck and port the heads or slip high compression pistons into the...

    i need assistance

    VR power steering pumps were never great. Had a mate with the same problem and he installed one from a VT (I think). The pumps from the VN to VR were substandard and screwed up when large wheels were bolted on. Kain

    VL tuning

    yeah best way ot tune a VL is first to drop a 5ltr EFi V8 or V6 into the engine bay lol Kain

    hotting up your VL is dangerous

    Yep I agree. I have a VL (V6) project on full burn at the moment and there has been a whole budget of ots own assigned to the brake system. If you go harder, you gotta stop harder Kain

    hotting up your VL is dangerous

    Speaking from the other side of the coin, you don't do up a car for an investment, you do it because you want to and you enjoy it. It is an art form weather the critics accept it or not. The owners put their own tastes and expression into their cars and it is a satisfying feeling to step back...

    VK Motors

    I'm currently building a VL and have a V6 from a VR Commodore which is destined for the engine bay. The sub-frame from VC to VL are almost identical and they all came out with V8's and can be engineered to 400cubes street legal. Even the chassis in the VN is the same as the previous models...

    rim size?

    I have recently been in communication with an RTA engineer, aquiring the knowledge to pass a project that I have going on. We only the other day spoke on this subject and I have to say that you are spot on dude. I'm pretty sure that you comments are straight from the book, word-for-word...

    Need help with Transmission Selection

    I am currently putting together a V6 (VR) engine. Forcast output will be around 200 to 220kw. I am fitting this into a VL body. (Sorry if you think that I should be in the VL threads but I know that there are a few in here that have put cars together). I was wondering if any of you have advise...

    One piece tailshaft

    You won't gain any noticable power, its a big deal to do and I think that the VK/VL driveshaft tunnel isn't quite straight. (Something I heard, don't know if its true). If this is the case, it may hit the body as it spins. Kain

    hotting up your VL is dangerous

    Yes you are right. The VB to VL was based on the opels and yes they were available in a 6 cylinder. Not sure how big and what its output was but knowing european cars, I would wager it had a fair bit of tow. Google opel senator, You'll be suprised. Kain

    Yeah I know what you mean, If you asked the idiots they'll tell you that they have as much right to the road as a car or truck but they don't seem to think that the rules apply to them.

    Favourite VL

    I was never big on the Calais front end, and they tend to screw up especially now they have some age on them. I love the late V6 engine so I decided to rebuild a VL Berlina and drop a tweaked V6 (VR) into the engine bay backed by V8 drive train. (T5 - 308:1 Diff). Early days yet but it should...

    Holy crap guys - whats the hostility about. Time to stop the horseshit , get your hands off your dicks and put the rubber to the tarmac and settle it once and for all. Besides v8's are overrated, I got a turbo V6 stroker (4.2ltr) and a stage 3 crowcam 21/2" headers and OS injectors with a...
