Hi guys, my names naif and im new to the forums.

Im from hillarys and own a white 1994 GTS-t that makes 180Rwkw

In the last 3 days ive had my ass handed to me by 3 LS1 powered commondores.

a green VX GTS in fremantle, i stayed with him in first, but he pulled away in 2nd pretty quick.

the second was in hillarys a white VY SS (plates were INXSS) from a 60 kph rolling start. pulled away straight away.

and a red VX SS with black rims (plates were ROSTY or simmilar) on the way back from mandurah yesterday. from 90kph roll on he just left me.

I usually dont have problems with 5ltrs at the drags (i have run 13.5 @ 104mph)

what kind of power atw do u need to happily beat lightly - heavily modded LS1s.

Its upsetting my pride.

thanks

my car has no subs, nothing. even rear seats are missing.

car is running brillantly...

its ok from starts, but after 100kph they all seem to go. how do u match there top end?

maybe you do need a 500watts amp and two 15inch subs in the boot! after all its rear end traction that helps your car launch faster..... and hit someone sooner;)

Remember a car's power is useless, unless the driver knows how to use it to it's fullest potential. :)

Choose carefully, there are those that know how to drive their LS1s and those that dont. The hardest part with Holdens are in their launch (very tricky), take that out and your basically toast. Even lightly modified holdens (LS1) are very powerful.

BTW stay away from turboed LS1, many are running 350-450rwkw (some 500rwkw) with stock internals. Its a bit scary how easy it is to extract power from the LS1.

Get some self esteem. LS1 powered Commodores are not slow in a straight line, and the engine responds quite well to cheap mods.

And as for how much power you need, once you start modding its an arms race. For everything you do, someone has done something more. I reckon with 1000hp you should be OK - there won't be that many Commodores that will be able to beat you.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
