My Black Supercharged VE SSV Ute

[WogBoyz]

Hey woggy... looking good mate. Just a thought re the intake - pretty sure the only difference with the OTRs is there is an extra adapter for the MAFless unit - I'd think that if you flicked them off an email, they'd be able to help you out there - rather than buying two different intakes. Could save you a bit of cash. Worth a shot at least.

Yeah mate was thinking that too but my mate has one of them units pretty much brand new and is gunna give it to me for $200 or so there usually $650 lol so its a pretty good deal

True - but there's only a $30 difference between the MAF and MAFless units - I just figure that the MAF OTR will flow better than their air box, with or without a tune - and if all you have to do when you get the tune is swap out the MAF then you're laughing.

Yeah also true, how hard is the vcm to install ya reakon? also update i can drive my beast friday! my other ute is getting roadworthy next week and hopefully sold so the mods can begin!

Mate it's easy as to fit. YouTube - VCM OTR Install 2010 HSV Part 1 / 5 videos 1 through 5 show the removal of the old box, the install and the tuning. Doesn't take long at all.

oh sweet thanks mate, the maf one should be right without a tune ay?

 

[TinSnips]

oh yeah. Won't have an issue. Won't reach its potential without a tune, but will be noticeably better than stock.

Yeah i mite go with that ay, then when i get headers ill get the mafless conversion and tuned all up nicely

It'd be less work - and presumably less cash. so seems like a win-win situation to me. The only tricky part is pulling the standard airbox out - I imagine swapping it for another box would be fiddly - just easier to fit the right intake the first time I reckon. Also, your mate could probably chuck the box on ebay for a bit more than he was going to sell it to you for. Just a thought.
