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

whys he an idiot... yeah i thought it was rosty or something.

he was kewl. i pulled into a servo and he pulled in too. we had a chat about cars.

his car was pretty quick hey

what mods do i need to make in excess of 250Rwkw.

im not too mechanically minded but my car was last dynoed at 183.7 Rwkw

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;)

well everyone else seems to not have trouble... i thought maby my car isnt running properly compaired to every one else.

im new to the whole car scene... im learing

are there any car clubs around the hillarys area

Maybe its your driving?????

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

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

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.

Its upsetting my pride.

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.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
