Hmm thats odd my cousin has a 2000 ss super charged and making 330rwkw and has almost 200 000 km on the clock, never a problem

some were ok, but alot had problems with oversized rings in them or something and that caused them to chew oil, they were going through 5L of oil every 1000Km. thats nasty, that is why holden had to rebuild there cars, and when they traded that on the new model r8, it blew up with in 5000km.

they werent happy, but they are still holden fans and wont buy any other cars......

yeah I heard about those problems!

yeah they got 2 of them how unlucky.....anyway apparently they have ironed them out, buut who knows.

the best piece of advice some1 said to me about buying a new car is wait till they release the series 2 bcoz if there is any faults they most likely have ironed them out by the series 2 models.

For sure!

what i dont get is, we are buying engines designs of chev in america, and Ls1 & ls2 engine havent been used in corvettes over there for years, they are now up to ls9 pumping out 650hp. lol

we got out dated technology thats for sure.

I want one

to be in keeping with the litreage jokes, heres a classic one, only cheap wines come in 5 litres.

btw, holdens are pos's never seen a car with as many problems as my dads 06' ss ute.

These radio DJs call two separate phone sex operators and tell them to hold while they go get their girlfriend who wants to chat. They then connect the two unsuspecting operators with each other. :huh:

Woohoo, PFC in and running...

Runs okay on the factory map, could be better, nifty little thing tho cutting out the injectors alltogether when you jump off the throttle and the car has enough momentum to go forward on its own... Hello fule econo...

i noticed a massive jump in mileage after the pfc - before i would get approx 360km per tank (ie: just before the fuel light would come on) and now i get about 450 mixed highway/traffic driving :huh:

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
