[richrever]

Absolutely not

Hi Vs lover. You seem pretty certain of that. However i can recall reading somewhere that a ecotec could be run on a Vp ecu ? Not that im going to swap them out i just wouldnt mind if the Vs was a bit more aggresive/ responsive. Not to worry early days yet and i owned my dealer team ute 14 years and enjoyed it till the end. May the Vs last as long. Got any advise on the pod ? Made a world of difference on the Buick.
Cheers Rich.

VS is MAF based. You can buy a tune for $200 or less from Mace.

Chip is physically different, won't fit in. Loom is physically different, won't fit in the VP ECU. Security signal is different, will stop the car from starting. Swapping to that ECU you will also lose out on sequential injection.

An equal or better VS tune can be had from forum members The1 or Delcowizzid, or Mace, or you can go to the PCM Hacking forum and have a look there.

Pod filter is just a flange on the front of the MAF or the pipe attached to the front of the MAF, dead easy if you just look at pictures. Dunno how you are judging that it made a world of difference but I wouldn't spend the time or money putting one on (wouldn't even do it for the import I own). Wouldn't even buy a K&N panel filter.

Hi RKJ. I purchased a full sports exhaust system pacemaker extractors 2.5 inch pipe and no resonator cost about $1200. Didnt really impress me. Then i brought a pod filter $25. The diffrence was tangible squeeze the throttle and the rear tyres lit up with ease. Maybe because the exhaust and pod complemented each other ? But i sing praise to pods now. Anyhow i have a super six over the rad intack in the shed so i may give that a go expand my experience a bit.
Cheers Rich.

I guess it pretty much supports my initial statement doesn't it ?

If you now go with a Mace tune and CAI you will definitely feel the improvement. Made a decent difference on my Buick. I now have 121rwkw, where as stock is around 91 on a 220k VR V6 auto. Not sure how you sqeezed over 150rwkw out of a Buick with basic mods and tune, unless you have a manual.
