Brad had a VL with an RB26, now ive got a Stagea with an RB30!

No, thats lies....but I do have a wagon that doses its ass off!

Got bored after a few days, plus, the lack of a BOV kept causing the car to be drivin like a manual to keep the revs up, which equals not auto box friendly. Good for a few laughs on Friday night though :(

HAHA thats awesome. Sounds just like mine did. I bet yours sounds loud and just when you release the throttle quick, but flutters if you back off gently...

I had to drive mine like a manual if im cruising under about 40kph, or she'd stall too. Messes with the vacuum which is a BASTARD cos i love my ricey BOV.

Is there a way to fix it, apart from just putting the factory one back on?

Oh yeh, I learnt to keep a good 5+ second dose if I wanted to.

I am going to get a metal intake pipe made with a provision for my stock BOV, as even with my stock BOV, my car still flutters. Will let everyone know the results as well, from a performance point of view. :(

Its cos o fthe big intercooler, right? cos i noticed mine got a lot louder with the intercooler. Something about it echoing in end tanks and what not... the flutter actually comes from the pod, cos the BOV doesnt vent when u release it slowly

vl commos in NZ came with rb20e's

You have got to be kidding me? :)

You would have thought that Holden learnt their lesson after the Starfire that commodes and 2lt engines do not mix......

Such a pity you didn't get the rb30 turbo - it made the commode a desirable car for the first time ever IMO

Safc is super airflow converter.

It alters the AFM signal to the ECU. So you can tune fueling and AF ratios.

Basically, more power.

Didnt realise there were such gangsta mods for VL commos haha.

vl turbos are pretty rare over here.

Could someone please explain what 'dose' is? Have you removed the blow off valve?

I have a SSQV & an alloy intake pipe (a/f meter to turbo). The intake pipe just makes it a bit more noisey

Ok, Uhh, How to explain this.

So Holden made VL's.....

Ok na, really. A dose is when you remove the BOV and use a metal pipe staight off the turbo inlet to create different pitches of flutter. The ideal dose pipe puts the AFM in the cooler piping and runs no air filter.

This is something that almost ALL VL's do.

Different noises's/reverb can be created with different bends/size/material pipes.

when i brought my r33 it sounded VERY similar to that and after a while of trying to figure it out why it was doing it,i had found a SIZE C BATTERY from japan placed inside the bov,removed the battery and is now barely noticable,weird huh

      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?
