I got most ov mine genuine from Holden, a little more expensive but it's genuine. Purchased my rocker cover gaskets from Bursons, good price too. Price both up and choose which one you want to go for or some from Holden and some from Bursons.

Left it on the rear cause i'd already drilled the hole at the back, although i could seal it up with a good sealant and do the extension and move the sensor up front. Should be the same for the ls1 yeah as the ls2?

Wish i had of looked into this before i did mine, would've been cheaper than breaking two map sensors cause of the limited space.

Looks good, iv got the old lsx102 manifold and 102 throttle body, wish they had this in black when i got mine. Looks factory. I've got the ls1 but a fare bit of engine work, only problem i had is the map sensor on the back in the ls1 hits on the pipes and fire wall at the back once conected...

I put one on mine when i rebuilt my engine, well worth it, my old intake used to be full of oil, still get some in the new intake with the new motor but the amount the catch can soaks up is a lot better than it being in the intake as well. I put an elite engineering catch can on mine and it...

I think he might be thinking of the vt 5ltr v8's, i think they had one. The s/c 6's did and i think the 5ltrs did too.

I spoke to a place on the weekend and apparently its bassically the same in Vic, can't have the bottle in the vehicle and can't have any plumbing to it/where it would sit.

You can get what they call a black out kit in the states where all the pipes etc are black and made to look a little like a factory pipping. But as said if you know what your looking for you'll spot it.

You can do the timing chain with out taking the engine out can't you? as you have to remove the chain to get the cam gear off and cam out.

Been told Hurricane are good, i got Pacemaker 4 into 1's and got the ceramic coated, more than happy with them.

Oh and fuel economy= tow a servo behind hit, mine drinks it, around 22-24/100 around town, but freeway is a lot better and at 80-100km/h also sounds like a stock car. So the ls3 would be up around there as well i'd say. Not sure what a FI car does but i'm sure it would be a bit better.

I'm pritty sure iv spent about 20k on mine with engine, gearbox and stall, exhaust, fuel system (basic one), etc. and i haven't done diff gears or brakes. And i'm no where near the 400rwkw mark i could've easily got FI. FI would be fun, pulled up next a vz maloo at a servo the other week...

Oh and iv got to go back and get tune touched up now motors run in and a/c connected, that's with stock 3.07 diff too so not sure how much difference that makes but hopefully some more in it. Will be looking at FI down the track myself. But gives you somewhat of an idea n/a versus fi on an ls1.

Blower kit and cam to suit will get you there, maybe some head work at the same time. Could go turbo but you really need to know what kit your getting, heard there are a few dodgy kits out there and there are some really good kits, depends where you go. As said if auto will need a convertor and...

Will definitely be doing this to my car, same problem and looks like it will be the same issue, will give it a shot over Christmas/new year break.

Oh ok, cool. Mines running just over 11 as well. Interesting to see how it goes. Leaves some nice options for later then.

looks good so far. What comp ratio are you running? just out of interest.

Yeh very happy with it, just got to run the engine in some more on the street and better tyres, then give it a run on the black top and see what it pulls, then a diff gear change and see from there. So should be running it soon and see what it pulls.

Dyno sheet from my car. Sorry about the poor pic, was uploaded from phone.

Cpbait / Ben / VY SS HP (431.9hp), kW (322.1kW) Engine Type and Capacity: LS1 383 stroker. Power Adders: Pacemaker 1-7/8" headers, sureflow cats and twin 2.5" into single 3.5" exhaust. 25% underdrive pulley, comp cam, head porting, plus some other exrtas. Trans Type (M6, A4, etc): A4, 3,600...

I got in touch with the guys from dominator convertors and explained my cam specs and diff ratio and what it was for along with possible near future mods and they spec'd a convertor and size that would suit.

While your there it's up to you but maybe an oil pump or if not an oil pump o'ring as you'll need to pull the oil pump off.

Looks good, top job.

That system size is what worked out with an exhaust place, whether its right or wrong i'm not sure, been told it will work fine.

The pacemaker headers come with a flange to weld to the cats which is tappered down to 2.5" from the 3.5" off the headers. They've still got to be welded in place when goes for the tune so can always change it.

I'm looking at putting that sureflow twin 2.5 into single 3.5" on my vy ss with cam, 383 stroker motor, been told it will be fine, i do have 1-7/8 headers and 3" cats, whether that makes a difference or not i'm not sure.

that the sureflow exhaust?

Yeh a guy at my work had to get an epa check on his vs commy, was a stock exhaust on a v6. He did pass the test, haha. Spoke to a sales guy today at work, he said his mates with the highway patrol and there pulling over and making everyone these days regardless what it is get tested, even the...

Any off you guys used the Varex muffler? Iv heard good things about it, I'm thinking off putting there twin 3" varex muffler on the rear to quieten the system. Already Have pacemaker 1-7/8 headers with 3.5" collectors going into ballistic 100 cell 3" cats. Just the rear section i'm 50/50 on...

Try Autotechnique in rowville area from memory, they may have moved but Mario is meant to be very good. Also could try Gary at Chev's performance (who will be tuning my car) and Lou at Dandy engines machined and did the bottom end for my ls1, chev's and dandy engines are both in Carrum Downs and...

Possibly, how'd you go through the dash? I'm 99.9% sure you can check it through ignition1 and menu settings.

Being a 'Y' series if its like my Vy ss, you should be able to scroll through the electronic dash menu with ignition on position 1 and as you scroll through you should come up with the items like battery voltage, oil pressure, etc then compare that to your gauge.

love the look off the vz clubbies, supercharged all the way, v8+s/c= tough under bonnet looks and sound to match. Good luck with it.

oh cool will check that out. Had a look, good info, going to tap into the spot on the oil filter housing if there's room with the headers, i liked the look off there custom range.

all good, yeh the t-piece one haven't been able to find one to suit the size of the ls1 factory switch, forgot about earls, didn't get an earls one, have ordered another one, its not vdo but a similar company through the local auto bahn near work. Hopefully its a good one, its got a 2" body and...

All good ordered a sandwich plate to plug into, might run an oil cooler and t-piece the pressure switch off it.

ITEM: crow cams heavy duty pushrods 7.400" .080" wall set. LOCATION: Melbourne. CONDITION: New. PRICE: $150. DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: can post or local pick up. PAYMENT OPTIONS: COD, direct deposit. CONTACT DETAILS: PM. OTHER INFO: Purchased for another cam but changed...

Just wondering if any one has hooked up an electrical autometer oil pressure gauge on an ls1 motor and where abouts did you bolt the sender unit fitting into? Was thinking off getting one off the oil filter plate to connect into or a t-piece fitting were the factory oil press. sensor is. Any...

I payed $2800, but that included bottom end assembly, bearings, new cam bearings balancing and a melling oil pump, that was all machining, honing, line honing the mains, etc. I supplied the crank, rods and pistons. Paid $2,200 to get my 241 heads hand ported, but that was cause i wanted to...

Hope its ok now for you, we close the gaps up on some vehicles at work to compinsate for any bad coil packs, works a treat and saves the customer alot off money too.
