1987 Holden VL Berlina - with rego. Has rb25 engine number on the rego slip.

RB25DET 5speed, using rb25det box.

Engine has had the 100ks service done 7 months ago, not sure on exact K's of motor. Was told it would be around 110,000ks now.

I have quite a receipts for the work done, including the head gasket work, 100ks service, tune and dyno runs plus a whole heap from replacment parts. ( headlights, taillights, interior peices etc )

The dash has stopped at 105 ***ks (series 2 dash)

ACL Gasket kit, using 1.3 metal HG.

New Belts/Plugs and fluids + Oil Filter

Front mount intercooler.

Full 3" Exhaust.

HKS Mushroom filter.

VLT Ally rad + Also have Twin AU Fans and Davies Craig controller ready to go on when needed (Still Brand New)

Manual Boost Controller, been running at around 9psi since i bought the car. Dyno run shows 190kw, tuned by TurboTune

4.11 LSD with DBA slotted rotors - starting to whine abit.

Koni adjustable rear shocks

Kings super low springs, Re-set 35mm lower

Pedders adjustable panhard bar

Had a heap of bushes that needed replaceing redone with Superpros - have receipts for work

Front strut assembly using pedders (short stroke) inserts, with King Ultra lows.

AC Delco 180LPH in-tank pump

Wahlbro external pump

The car is not perfect,

Was resprayed back in 07 in Passion Red, still looks great. Has a few little scratches here and there but nothing to serious.

The steering has a bit of a shutter when coming to full lock.

Diff and Tailshaft starting to make a slight noise, havent really looked into it yet.

There is also a small hole right in the top of the fuel tank, previous owner said he tryed to mount his amp through it or something, there is a screw in there from him, seems to keep pretty much most of it in there.

Price is 9000 Neg

Maybe interested in swaps for a R32 4 door, S1 S14 or something of interest.

Feel free to PM me an offer or any other questons/Pictures you would like.

Josh, 0433 627 738 - Best to MSG first as of work.

Cheers

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
