    HSV brakes vs. SS on VY's

    Yea you have to bed the pads in properly otherwise they will give you grief! I think this is where people go wrong.

    HSV brakes vs. SS on VY's

    Nah EBC red pads, they are meant to be way better than the greens. It's only going to be a $250 upgrade for both fronts. Not too shabby for a street upgrade.

    HSV brakes vs. SS on VY's

    Would just changing the front rotors to a simple and slotted item with some EBC pads make a difference? Same diameter same calliper

    LS2 into CV8

    Thanks Munz. Yea we got every tool :) just ran the casting numbers and its a 2005 build block. So It should be a 3 bolt. I was looking at a LSR comp cam part number 54-458-11 227/235 @.050 614/621 valve lift with 113 LSA. Using this cam with a double valve spring. Do you think this will go...

    Do I need to change to a 3 bolt cam?

    LS2 into CV8

    That was for an LS1. Will the cams mentioned in that still be suitable for the LS2? Something with 10 degrees seperation? There were no discussions on wiring a LS2 into a CV8

    Buying an SS, what to look for?

    Heater tap, clutch fluid (it can get very mucky as the slave cylinder is inside the bell housing) and keep an ear out for noisy lifters, tap tap tick tick tick whaaaaaa.

    Hey guys, I've started a fresh thread as I have gone for a LS2 motor. Thank you for all your help. The larger displacement won me over

    LS2 into CV8

    Hi guys!! Ok so I've finally brought a LS2 to replace the LS1 in my manual CV8 Monaro. Q1. What needs to be changed on the electrical side? Q2. Thinking of doing a cam, something like the GM ASA cam, open for suggestions. Would like a LSA of around 112. What would you recommend. I...

    All done :) first I put the wires around the wrong way and had a constant horn, this didn't turn out that good as I did it on the street and I was wearing a black hoodie! The next door neighbour came out thinking I was trying to jack the car lol. All good now, just waiting to find some cheap...

    I went for the HSV as I love black. I fitted the wheel as per instructions. I failed on the horn however. I dot have the radio controls yet will this affect the horn? Can I ease have a good detailed how to on how to connect the horn up from the one red plug into the two clips on the VY...

    LS1 Cam (street)

    Thanks fr the feedback. I don't want high lift as its too hard on the valve train. Low lift and longer duration would be more reliable. Only going forged as that's what it comes with. This is just a guide line. I am still looking for cheaper options. I will post when I find them :) On...

    Guide to removing vy/vz steering wheel

    I know this has been covered putting a VY wheel into a VZ, but does this still work putting a VZ wheel into a VY, if so what other mods need to be done?

    Although would be cheaper to get standard one`s tricked up locally, these are around $3000AUD landed from the US, that`s complete/assembled with, valve springs, seals locks, retainers, SS valves etc.. so if you add all the items you would buy individually, + cost of the head work here, and...

    Sup Munz. I've just given the engine builder some base line figures of 500hp and 500 tq. So I'm leaving the specs up to him. I will ask for LS7 lifters. Hopefully he matches the push rods with the cam. Once I get a spec sheet ill post it up. I will post up the spec sheet of the long block...

    LS1 Cam (street)

    Yea I know I know. Might just leave it. If I'm not doing the cam and all the other bits and pieces I can't justify spending $1000 on a tune. After we move into our new home and get settled in, aka paid for bills and furniture, aka I have wife lol. Ill Look at giving the car some TLC. I don't...

    Ticking/tapping sound from the engine

    Yea my car car is lowered so it scraps every now and again and it has cracked a weld on the exhaust manifold (diflipo full exhaust) it made a ticking sound I swear it was from lifters as i could hear it while I drove.

    I'm driving up to Brisbane to my father and laws to fix the exhaust and have a catch up. So I was going to paint (he has all the gear) and install the OTR up there. So if I had a PCM with a tune already on it I could just plug in and drive back :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey guys, time for an apology! Looks like I have an exhaust leak which is making the horrible ticking noise, so no need to pull the motor out. So I'm not going ahead with all the modifications. Thank you all for your time and patients! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ticking/tapping sound from the engine

    I have the same noise in my VY 2 LS1. I'm pulling the motor out and putting new LS7 lifters in as well as other stuff. The oil feed holes on the lifters are very small I'd say the engine flush has dislodge a piece of nasty and it's found it's way to your lifters blocking it up. There's quick...
