Hi Steve,

Just ordered a VT 5.0 CAI - i note that there is no fitting instructions for the v8 on your website. should i follow the VT V6 or the VN-VR V8 instruction?

Hi RavenSS,

Thank you for your enquiry:

"Just ordered a VT 5.0 CAI - i note that there is no fitting instructions for the v8 on your website. should i follow the VT V6 or the VN-VR V8 instruction?"
Unfortunately we don't have any fitting instructions to suit these at this point in time. The instructions that would closely relate to the installation of this CAI kit would be a combination of the VT-VY V6 and VZ V6 CAI fitting instructions. The only things that would not be apparent in the instructions is shown in the points below.

*The factory intake pipe is replaced with one of the supplied rubber hoses
*The MAF needs to be rotated to clear the engine
*The ignition module mounted to the factory airbox will need to be removed and mounted inside the factory air box using one of the original airbox screws.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Kindest Regards,
Steve

I have a v6 Vy stock apart from 2 1/2" cat back. I do a far bit of peak hour driving. Just want to know if it's worth me buying a cai with the amount of bumper to bumper driving I do.

Also thinking of going down the l67 track in the future so obviously the gains ect. will be greater then.

It genuinely would be as factory CAI draws in air from above the radiator resulting in heat soak. In saying this though, another option to consider would be our manifold insulator which would work well under these circumstances.

"Also thinking of going down the l67 track in the future so obviously the gains ect. will be greater then"
There would be even greater gains with running our CAI kit on an L67.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Kindest Regards,

Thanks Steve.
I'll start saving my pennys. Think I'll end up getting both the cai and the spacers.

Depending on your budget and what you would like to achieve, there are a number of other options that can be considered. To give you an idea as to the possible upgrades, please refer to our performance package page which is shown in the link below.

That's correct

From previous experience, I'm very optimistic that we'll be able to assist. To confirm though, we would need your help with some photos of your current engine/vehicle.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Do they work well lets see. After the VX did Holden fit the CAI system as standard to any other Commodore models.
