Booked in for a tune - SV6 SIDI :)

[SIDISV6]

I just fitted a CAI to my SV6 SIDI. I got hold of a VE air hammer kit and then modifiyed it to fit the SIDI.

The origional air box setup is very restrictive.

I can notice a difference with the CAI fitted. Initial throttle response is better and it sounds heaps better at WOT.

i was looking at the airhammers but didnt realise it didnt fit the SIDI
was it a lot of work modifying it?

Good luck mate hope the exhaust frees up the extra kw.
Anyone have an idea when vcm suite will be able to tune the Sidi Motor?
Cheers

I went to bunnings and bought a plumbing pipe joiner, 100mm, about $9. Cut a 26mm hole, enough to snug fit maf sensor, in joiner. Paint matt black then screw sensor on. Use hose clamps provided in airhammer kit on your new maf housing and done, SIDI compatible.

Those reading are a little happy but anyways. the ls3 are a good bit of gear but usually make around 240-250 stock. but every dynos different some just set their dynos so customers come back.

it's not really unlocking the sidi to it's original power as powerchip claim it will make 226kw on their 98ron only tune. the camaro makes 224kw on 92ron fuel. for 98ron i'd be expecting a 235ish kw gain at the flywheel.

ah no not correct:
camaro makes 224kw 92aki (98ron)
sidi makes 226kw

i thought it wasnt right either but when i ran a mid 10 on the quarter i figured they must be reasonably spot on, i've seen two different gts's done at diferent places manual 275rwkw auto 255rwkw, with mine i think there had been another change to it before i had mine down,

Is great to see an SV6 mod pioneer. Will keep a close eye on how it progresses. Have seen two other Dyno sheets on the SIDI besides this one. As you can see there are huge variations so who knows what to believe. Have changed my exhaust YouTube - jarpodski's Channel No reverb over 90km/h in 6th but reverb at 60km/h and 80km/h if driven in auto and lugged along. Must say I reckon I've got more torque down low with exhaust change. Also have a Growler Induction arriving next week. So will update if any gains.

I received the following email today not sure how they got my contact details?! Anybody had anything to do with these guys? Thought I'd post for everyones info...sounds really expensive to me but the 147rwkw to 171 rwkw is interesting especially considering no tune. I am also surprised at the 30%ish difference between flywheel (210) and rear wheel (147)...does that sound about right?
