Posts: 535It’s not something I’d try without a lot of research first, I to struggle with some of those plugs/leads, hence the thought to re-do some of those hard lines to move em further out of the way.
The basic VT-VY ABS system is a 3 channel system like the earlier VS, the flashier VT-VY system with traction control is a 4 channel system. Been doing a little research but I think I need to find a brake specialist to get more advice.

Posts: 435other issue i think i found it the VT onwards ABS system run through the BCM, don’t think the VS did,

Posts: 535It’s a long term project this ABS thing, it’s an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit.

Posts: 5 777I moved mine down to where the battery is, def cleaned up the bay and makes it much easier to get to the plugs etc. Not sure the change to the later ABS unit would be worth the effort? I mean its not like you fire off the ABS all the time, and its not really a performance mod?

Posts: 535Yeah, that would be the ultimate solution. I was thinking about the later model ABS pump in the factory location purely because it’s smaller and won’t require redoing all the main hard lines like would be required to move the whole unit like you did.
I’ve not really ever encountered a situation where the ABS unit triggered except intentionally
At the end of the day it must be there but that doesn’t mean we can’t try and minimise it’s intrusion into the engine bay.

Posts: 5 777Yea agreed, the early ones were pretty savage too in how they worked.

Posts: 535Hey,
Not sure if you are aware but there seems to be an issue with the CRD throttle body on a DP style manifold with the IAC/ MAP sensor cavity been blocked off.
Check this thread for info http://www.aussiev8.com.au/holden-v8s/68922-vs-clubsport-304-full-rebuild.html#post718977 and how to fix.

Posts: 435yeah notice that when i was putting it together, i got around it by putting an aluminum spacer in which was about 2-3mm thick, which i needed anyway to space the throttle body and drop base air filter assembly up more to clear the fuel rails
car has had the run in tune done, and the tuner didn’t mention anything regarding that
i haven’t driven it in a few months and only done 65klm on the new driveline, really gotta get around to finishing running it in

Posts: 435how long do people recommend keeping the run in oil in it for? eg. 500k’s or 1000k’s or more?
July 19, 2016 at 8:04 pm #18596Once the cam is run in and rings bedded, 30-45mins. Drop the oil and go for gold.
