swing arms are defiantly different not 100% on the cradle so you maybe right to replace the cracked part and use your arms on it. This is a extremely common fault expect to do it again soon

nice power is that a s trim blower ? what boost u running ?

hes right that these motors can go for a long time but if its not been looked after you can almost be sure it will die soon you will find it will be using a little oil and that will harm performance and economy honestly look to spend most of you $9000 and get something with as low km as posible...

yeah mate your right they will mess the Air fuel mixture and cause it to run lean the auto also calculates the line pressure of the maf tables in the ecu have a read at what i posted above will maybe help explain it a little

Many people have do a search you will find heaps plus SS inductions sell them not advising a retune have seen many people buy them fit them and wonder why they have issues

obviously not but then i didnt know you had a manual car silly me trying to help a tool good luck o and have a read at whats above you may learn something

Real funny dude how about you read a little the maf provides the engine with incoming air speed the ecu converts that to a gpm value now if you have ever tuned a car you will know the auto also uses the gpm value from the airflow meter to calculate the amount of line pressure to add to the auto...

if its a 215kw or 220kw motor it is already stroked

i wouldnt be running the 10 psi pulley you will more than likely have detonation issues with the higher comp of the ecotec bottom end

but be careful if you just go a larger maf and no tune you will burnout our auto

im not 100% but you might be ok it looks like most of it was in the bottom of the sump the only bits on the crank and they look like the dropped there from the pickup when you spun the engine around but not 100% sure the rest looks to have a nice coat of oil still on it if you havent already id...

yeah he should be able to but like i said might cost $200 might cost $1200 wont know till hes done good luck with it

unless you had the oil cap off and got water in there i doubt it and its not whats there thats the issue its whats started it will progress and get worse if its that little you could probably get away with driving it around for a little bit but the longer you wait the worse it gets

o and that is some hell dodgy wiring going on around the battery and im guessing a dodgy earth on the inlet manifold there will be more than a few hours making that all work and to be cleaned up

you would be better off buying another car or buying a wrecked VT factory fitted with a V8 and putting all that in this and then selling the engine thats in it now

sadly my friend you have your self a series 1 or 2 vs motor there that looks like it sat in the open out of a car for a bit becasue there is alot of alloy oxidation on it no matter what the guy doing the blue slip said that engine is as has been said illegal for your car you will have to get a...

because its probably only just recently started give it time now its started its all down hill from here

dont drive it any more you run the risk of killing the engine and as above inlet manifold gasket or heads gasket wont know for sure till you pull it down

doesnt mean the clown that sold it to him put the maf on it but yes it is if its there

does the engine run a vgrove belt on the alternator or a ribbed belt ? if your not sure take a few pics and post them up

what did he get the motor from thats the big question VS series 3 utes ran up till 2000 and ran the same motor used in the VT do a engine number check and find the aprox year of the motor thats a good place to start. This is a Maf Vy V8 commodore,LS1 Mass Air Flow Sensor ( maf sensor )...

extractors are a good thing on these the factory items are crap at best and yeah look for a duel system with twin cats look at some second hand systems off a gen3 or the likes i run twin 2.5 maybe a little big for it but works well didnt feel any lose any were only gains and once you done zorst...

the vt 5 litre is 179kw the hsv's had 195kw if it has 195 tags someone has put them on the hbd tag also could have been put on but they where put on cars that had some extras added and they can be any hbd kit items front spoiler side skirts or even a boot wing and also if it come with a sunroof...

mate if its a VT motor its a 220kw not 215kw and no these motors did not come with roller rockers or head work so if you looking for power the biggest thing holding you back is the manifold there is about 10-20% more power in stock form using a better manifold if it has a cam maybe even more up...

auto elec can do anything its more of just how much that will cost and sadly they will never quote on a job like that they will just say our hourly rate is $xx and we will just keep going till its done you could get a $200 bill you could get a $1000 bill you never know. You could try a few...

that will be the tune you will need to get it touched up to reduce the idle speeds you may be able to reduce it a little adjusting the idle stop on the throttle body it sounds to me a generic tune and its set to idle high to prevent stalling

go to the photo shop thread and ask someone to put them on your car so you can see what they will look like or find a local shop selling them and put them against the car

hes right unless it was from a series 3 ute that was the same year and month as the vt the engine conversion can be looked at illegal and again hes right you will need to find a engine loom and computer from a VT 5 litre and the bcm to match otherwise you will have to pay to get them linked if...

no problem bud feel free to pm me if you have any other questions just keep looking on forums ebay and wreckers you will find some deals around

heads i mean slight to major port job new valve springs and maybe new valves will all go towards helping make power. and wht do you mean in the first line ? if your talking cam decide what type of forced induction your going then contact a cam company and have a chat to them what they would...

dont worry about a shift kit do a whole box build if thats the power your after that power will just brake the stock box you will be lookign to spend $2000-$3000 id also look at a stall converter as well you will need that when the time comes id look at some 3.45-3.7 gears you would need to be...

As atari said its a little hard to get what your saying also i think maybe you read my reply a little wrong not sure any way ill take a bash at what your new questions are. when you say 25hp back I don't quite get you, there was never 25hp difference the VS had 147kw and the VX 152kw so only...

honestly there are a heap of things that could be wrong but with these the 2 main common things are coils and ignition moduel pull off one of the leads and check if its got spark if not try find a mate that has the same engine in his car and lend his moduel and see if that works if not try the...

Not a problem The american ones are the T56 there all the same from VR-VY i think the VZ ones where slightly different not 100% sure the difference from vt series 2 to the VR ones is the bellhousings starter location shifter location and the cluch setup but the box it self is the same...

you cant bolt a vt box straight into a aussy motor machined for the starter on not completly different bellhousing is needed though they sometime machine away some of the bellhousing in that area to fit a larger extracors through mine had to be done on my gts. There is a chance of a few...
