I’m with you Gary over kill on brakes is a good thing the six pots I had on the vk were killer especially when I had the race pads in ,, warm them up and make sure your seat belt was on only down side they squealed on the slow stopping

Cheers Gary

looking at doing a little work to the 308 for now 300-350hp to keep me happy  for the time being before I can afford the lsa

did you find the xyz easy to adjust height and damper

I agree if it’s a strip/race or Sunday driver but if you want to drive it a lot and it’s auto would be hard on the leg , it would be nice to know what pressure difference between boosted and non boosted , I do like the look

Hey all I read on another page that these motor (LSA) have three map sensors this surely can not be right , would a 3bar map sensor  be enough, if any one can give me more info would be appreciated

also I’ve looked at custom wiring looms and they say they add diagnostic plug and oxygen sensors ,don’t the ls1 come with this wired in ???? Cheers Frazer

Hi Ray project is looking good just had to pass on some info with regards to the  rad support in the early commodores the rad sit on edge and in the vn onwards they sit flat that’s whey Gary (VRsenator) has no issues so you could get a vn -vs rad support and change them this what I did to my last vk

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

if you can chase the starter motor wire of the alternator wire it should lead you to a main I think been a while since I looked at a vk

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]
