    Cai recommendations

    Well you might be waiting a while for a mafless tune for your SIDI engine so just get a cheapie airhammer or get a VCM airbox cai . The VCM looks similar in design to the SS but apparently flows better .

    De-Supercharging L67 and manualising ?!?!?!

    Yeah but he wants a manual , you would be able to easily get a manual to handle the torque but they chew the fuel and are a Bast%rd to launch. I had a 1998 Spac VT with all the FIT goodies and tunes of boost with a manual and it was a pig to lauch and chewed the fuel . Heaps of fun though

    CAI On a SIDI sv6 series 2 - Does it make a difference to Fuel Economy

    It doesnt void your new car warranty people have had some issues in the past but the more well known ones like SS inductions the dealers dont really care . You will get an improvement in fuel economy but only really on highway driving. For the first tank of fuel you wont notice much as sometimes...

    Increased Fuel Comsumption SInce installing standard mufflers back on

    Mate try taking the battery off for a few minutes and reset the ecu and then give it a couple of days for it to re adjust and it should come back down again. Also have you checked the air filter

    Maybe you got a friday engine in your SV6 and your engine builder had a fishing trip or a bucks party to go to on the weekend! The alloytec engines can go allright with some bolt ons and a tune and the SIDI 3.6's can go even better. The problem is that they're hauling a heavy car , and why would...

    engine light still on after tune? SV6 sidi

    VCM dont know s%4t bout SIDI's it is most likely the installation . Get them to check that the O2 Sensor extention cables are plugged in the right way . They will plug in either way but if there on the wrong way round it causes a low voltage reading which sets off the check engine light. You can...

    Walkinshaw Power Pack For SIDI

    Comes down to personel preferance i suppose. I would suggest meeting up with someone who has the Xforce and listening to their car and maybe going for a ride in to see how it sounds . It would be cheaper to buy the xforce and get it installed from a exhaust shop as they will have a lower hourly...

    NO tuning is required with the headers . I have the pacemakers with the oxygen sensor extension cables and i have no check engine light. I have fixed a mates car he had the sensors plugged in wrong i did that and reset the ecu via disconecting the battery and no problems.

    engine light on

    There is no reason why the check engine light should be on unless you got your cats changed or they havent plugged everything thing in correctly . I also have a 2010 SV6 With Headers and Exhaust and i had a check engine light but i got it sorted out. Ensure that the Oxygen Sensor extension...
