- also I start it up and rev. My info about the axle code is wrong but if you have an lsd it will have a tag on the diff fill plug

That's a nice car, factory black s/c Calais. You have some useful knowledge on these Dave, cheers.
I happen to have quite a sweetheart VX myself with a factory L67, barely broken in (104k) on the odometer, with stupidly OCD prior service history from the former HSV mechanic who retired, etc
It's a former "evaluation vehicle" that was never meant to be on the road, Holden engineering owned it for a few years, etc. It's been pre-tuned along with running a higher tuned XU6 PCM, it's really quite rare in itself especially considering the service history has like 15 inches of paperwork from his services at Holden 😂😂
I was actually talking to wicked earlier this afternoon.
Keep the classic Ford's coming Pete !
Thank's Peter :) I try my best, nothing on your awesome videos which I may not always comment on but I always watch start to finish
@@wickedxe Same, Peter isn't actually too far away from me if i'm not mistaken.
@@ThomasFG Sadly, many have forgotten about the Monaro CV6. Holden detuned the L67 and decided to only fit them with a slush box when the engineers discovered they were quicker than the CV8. 😫🤣😆😋
@@mael-strom9707 Restrictors ftw 😂
Intentional detuning. Imagine if it was like the 80's intercooled Buick Regal Turbo 3.8L
i enjoy you rambling videos
Thank you
Keep rambling man... There are a lot of young guys just discovering these old Commodore classics. As regards the hard start and idling... the crank angle sensor/coil pack DFI module probably has seen better days. Also probably the IAC, idle air control valve could be sus. As I said before keep on rambling man.
Great info mate, was thinking of fitting the turbo to a near stock VY L36 Ecotech but didn't realize the big ends are bigger in the L67 .. and like you I'm sick of working on cars too! Cheers
I would say go for it if you want to, but my thing is in for a penny in for a pound
Great vid mate just bought a vx l67, think mines the same not running to its full potential, so this video was quite good ty
Thanks for the video.
Was interesting and informative.
Glad it was helpful. I will add however CHANGE the front seal in the supercharger because even if it was good when you got the car it will be at the end of its life; ask me how I know LOL
hey mate cool setup! ive got one in a vs ute with deked heads, 3.4" pulley and few other little things. but id be looking at the iac valve for that starting issue, the idle air valves are a little bit of a joke along with the dfi aftermarket ones come out of the box hardly working, also i saw that big vac line under your throttle body to the charger, its gone tanned colour, id be getting that off there they crack pretty well soon as it goes from black to that tan yellow just something ive found to be cracked under the pipe out of view on all l67s ive seen as its out of site out of mind most people dont change it also its in the bottom below the throttle body
I looked at that hose and it is not split (that I can see) but like every other rubber hose it owns is buggered and needs to be binned. The pcv valve I am going to shoot a video about. The IAC valve is sweet as I have looked at it when I got the car BUT the throttle body could do with a clean for sure and the base idle clearance is most likely not great because of not being cleaned
Good info,gunns check updates.❤
I have been thinking about posting some new content, I have an XS3 pro stabilised gimbal which would be a game changer for my video quality
Great video
I luv it ! Hope u still hav it ? Man u got lucky with lsd & fe2 !
Looks like a nice car to me, sounds happy enough.
I like the access to the front of the engine, im no mechanic but some cars are a shit to get to the drive belts and alternator :-(.
Not sure about doing a dyno, excessive stress testing may damage that working engine, just my uneducated opinion.
It is fairly happy but there are a few issues I need to take care of. Dyno is only to adjust the fuel and ignition to suit more boost
I'm planning to swap my eco in my vy with a super6..
Is it best to swap the harness and computer or can you mix and match stuff?
Not to great with the wiring side of cars 😂
If you have any tips mate Id appreciate it. Great vid btw
Nice video Dave
Thank you
Leads are different, I tried putting my Ecotec ones on my l67 and only 3 fit not all 6 if I can remember
I see nothing but facts bro well done
Thanks man for your kind words
My brand new Eaton/Magnuson M62 that we bolted onto our 3RZ powered Hilux dual cab started making the rattle after only a few weeks of driving. We replaced the coupler and it’s still making the noise which is annoying and concerning.
Not sure what to say Have you tried contacting eaton/magnuson? maybe there is something else that is common with them
wickedxe I’ll send them an email and ask. It’s NOS from April of 2009.
Dave can you make a vid of were those vacuum hoses of the super charger go
I have yet to make the vid but have not forgotten
bend the heatshield for the rear resonator out a bit, mine had the same exhaust rattle.
Good advise but the rattle in this case is that the exhaust pipes coming out of both cat converters have both got broken welds (on the to do list)
There is no exuse to use anything but sc oil. If the blower has no oil in it just remove the sc belt the engine will still run as long as u hav a drv belt !
It's a shame that they didn't bring this to the USA!
Absolutely, Commodore were fantastic cars
You lucky guys got the Pontiac GTO aka Monaro.
IAC needs a clean up or replacing
It just needed the throttle body cleaning specifically the throttle plate to restore base idle clearance
@@wickedxe mine idled the same I cleaned intake and throttle body still rough so then replaced the IAC isles a lot nicer
@@dirtyoff-roadaustralian5525 IAC valves can be an issue and I see where the valve seats is often really bad and not often cleaned
GU4 is the prefix code for 3:08 diff gears
Doesn’t have a code for LSD on id tag
If you're not sure what you have, raise both back wheels and give one a spin by hand... if they both rotate in the same direction you got LSD. If they rotate in opposite directions to each other you have a standard diff.
Absolutely :)
Off memory and by the brochure i have for a VX
The springs are harder, slightly lower, revised stabiliser bar diameter (larger), etc
I notice what you mean Wicked how it cranks a little longer than usual.
GU4 as i mentioned is the "default" ratio for every Auto 4sp
3.08 is the M78 rear end (available in LSD & non LSD form)
3.07 (V8 & Supercharged V6) is the M80 rear end (again, available in LSD & non LSD form)
Pretty sure that applies to VT Series 2 - VYII off memory.
@@ThomasFG Video was shot before talking to you :) . I think the fuel pump isn't amazing these days and really needs to be chucked out. How are ya mate ?
@@wickedxe Try the regulator too, and with the fuel pump, do yourself a favour and go OEM
I'm not to bad, yourself ?
@@ThomasFG Fuelmeiser pumps are as good as oem. I need to get an inline pressure gauge and measure the actual pressure as I'm not a fan of replacing parts with no confirmed diagnosis
85-90w gl5
Not too much mang or she’ll go bang
with me its like uncle tonys garage said , you get to a point working on cars make you miserable UNLESS its something you love, he said if its your happy place you feel good doing it, for me old school cars are my happy place Fk the new cars and all their bullshit designs the headaches they csn be and are.
I agree totally, the newer you go the more crap they are to work on/enjoy working on.
Puts some part on my l67. Where u live ok come down pay u cash.
