air intake

Hey guys, My 2008 VE Commodore is giving me troubles. When driving it was sputtering super badly at certain speeds and accelerating almost like it was coughing. I changed the ignition coils and the spark plugs, so they're brand new, but I haven't been able to drive test it yet as I had...

Hi, I'm looking at getting a VCM OTR but they only suit the LFX engines, I've heard that you can modify them to fit on a VE if it has an LFX but I was wondering if anyone has ever managed to get one to fit on an LTT? Even if it required some modifications. Thanks

Which OTR is better? VCM or Harrop and what are the differences?

So I'm doing up a 2000 VX S V6 Supercharged 3.8L Commodore and it's my first ever project car. I'm currently stuck with my Air-intake valve as it's broken at the end, I'm debating weather I should half ass it and use cyanoacrylate glue to bond the rubber back to itself, as I can't find the...

Hey guys, I’m new here and I don’t know a whole heap about cars etc so I just want some input. I’ve got a completely stock 2004 VY Series 2 Super6 and I’m looking to put in an OTR intake as I’ve read it gives better gains than the Growler. Have any of you guys done this mod and got any...

Hey everyone, new to both this forum and using forums in general so apologies in advance for any noob-ish material in this post. So I have recently had an issue with overheating, which has been narrowed down to a very tired heater core (absolutely no heat in cabin when engine temp is almost...

Hi all interested forum members. Just before i get started I have read through lots of info about my VY berlina both on here and online. The community support from this forum is by far the best by far so thanks everyone. I decided against creating a large post re all my issues and what i...

Is an oiled pod a good idea!? A mates given me one but I'm having second thoughts after reading reviews. Is it worth it do you think? Any negatives? Or outright positives? Any options would be great to hear. Thanks!

Hi Guys, Some of the fellas and i are planning on a DIY air intake for the cars and i just wanted to double check on something before we go too far... Has anyone removed their air intake silencer box? and what happens if we do? Our plan is to start off from the throttle body, using some...

Hi guys, Long time observer, first time poster...I generally dont post on forums but am pretty desperate to have the 'safety mode - reduced power' issue on my VE SV6 06 resolved. Around 2 1/2 weeks ago, the safety mode - reduced power - messages appeared after being on the road for a good...

Hi, My VS had the air intake wires taped up with electrical tape. Im guessing this is from the previous owner because it looked different to the tape around the rest of the wires in the engine bay. I took the suspicious tape off and found the air flow sensor wire and the wire that goes to the...

hey guys.. iv been looking through all of the old threads about the pod filters vs. CAI. Just wanted to ask, i have seen on a few vl's that you can hook up a pod filter to the car, but also buy some parts that give direct air intake from below, behind the bumper. Its hard to explain, but i...
