    I was just reading this .. “electronic architecture enables the car to run full ABS and traction control, though it’s not yet calibrated for loose surface work.”‘” How would you even go about this?

     

    What ecu?

    I damaged the diff in the missus VX L67 when we first got it because of the traction control which is very aggressive.  I’ve altered the settings, got rid of the cylinder cut and greatly reduced how much timing it pulls, now when I get a little wheel spin it either does nothing or only removes a little timing, with more wheel spin it’ll pull more timing.

    Do you know what the max duty cycle your injectors are running at?

    Those Deka 60lbs injectors are rated at 3 bar/43.5 psi.

    The regulator sets the system pressure (unless something down stream of the regulator is restricting flow).

    Maybe what you are looking at is the rated flow at X pressure?

    Fuel injectors do have an ideal operating pressure and this would normally be the pressure at which it is rated, this is why it is important to have a 1:1  ratio manifold referenced FPR (so that the injector is working at the same constant pressure regardless of how much boost is put into the engine).

    Increasing the fuel pressure is one way of compensating for injectors that are to small and don’t flow enough, this works but only to a point as flow does not increase proportionately to pressure and if the pressures across the injector is to great then instead of getting a nice atomised stream of fuel it will just start to hose.  The newer style of injectors suffer much less and can handle much greater pressures but the original style EV1 injectors used in the VS era engines certainly don’t like to much pressure.

    4.11’s with a 4L60e and regular size 17’s would see about 2400rpm with a lock up converter.

    We don’t have full online access at work, best I can do most of the time is read the Herald…..

    Can make for some very long nights at work.

    I think I’m experiencing something similar.

    Nice :)

    Very much like my original 1 owner grandpa spec VN, I was fortunate with it been a T5/V6.  Awesome car to drive B-)

    I did the VT Booster/MC conversion but cut and re-flared the lines to suit instead of using adaptors.  Cunt of a job…..

    I miss that car :-(

    LT1 valve springs are a fairly common upgrade spring for performance cams, fit in the standard spring pockets etc.

    Have the spring pockets in the head been machined at all?

    What springs does it have now and what are the recommended springs for the cam?

    Front throttle body on a Holden Grp A intake manifold (one that you don’t need and really want to donate to a good cause  :whistle:   :yes:  )

    I always thought you were supposed to have 2 return springs on the butterflies for safety reasons.

    No, I get the Ford thing, I have issues with certain Fords, mainly the Aussie designed/built ones but I do like some of the American stuff, real Ford I call it.

    Ford part on a Holden, sacrilege…

     

    You’d be surprised how many parts fitted to both Holden and Ford came from the same parts bins…..

    And mine isn’t because it has ABS?

    I recon, better tell that to the Porsche GT3 racers…..

    If you need ABS to complete life a 1/4mile at a time you would need to be special  :yahoo:

    Yeah, 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 :whistle:

    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.

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