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

o_O

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.

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

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.

Ok.................But why? :D

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

    • 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
