Hello everyone, I have recently undertook the task of going through a major service by myself. The main issue was to fix exhaust noise, parking brake squeal, and replace sway bar links. Whilst my car has been up in the air, I also decided to have a look at the intake ect. I found the PCV valve...

I have a series 1 manual VE sv6, have an otr, full exhaust (headers back), intake manifold spacer. Recently got dyno tuned. I have noticed that it still does not cut fuel off throttle (wasn't doing it before, hence one of the reasons for tune). During the Tune, I was told I may have an exhaust...

Hi, I have a 2010 SV6 Ute and was thinking about swapping a V8 into it. I was looking at the L98. Does the 6L50 automatic gearbox fit or would I need a 6L80/ 6L90? Or is there an adapter plate to make them fit?

Hey guys, Just ”upgraded” from a Series 1 omega to a series 1 SV6 and I have a question about the operating coolant temperature. I was driving the SV6 today and I noticed the radiator fans have been coming on a bit recently. Did some investigating and the coolant was brown and sludgy, which I...

Apparently the mace cams aren't real great and the xforce extractors seem to be for LLT only? What are the best cams and extractors for a VF SV6 LFX build? And don't bother answering "just get a V8" or "V6 isn't worth modifying" because I have seen 500rwhp builds and it's basically the same...

My 2011 ve sv6 is driving fine then every so often the engine light starts blinking wildly, dash instruments go haywire, power is lost cutting in and out. I pull over turn the car off, wait a bit and it starts up fine. Then drives fine for a bit and does it again. I lip it home leave it for the...

My brother and I recently completed a successful LLT to LFX engine swap for my 2009 SIDI VE SV6 ute and figured it would be beneficial to share the process for anyone else who is thinking of doing the same. The whole swap was completed for just the price of the LFX + cats, with no tuning or...

Here's a thread on forum called "G8 Board" in the U.S which shows an LFX making just over 500rwhp: https://www.g8board.com/threads/500hp-twin-turbo-lfx.278449/ The potential on these engines haven't been realised (at least here in Australia) and could give the Barra boys something to pay...

After researching for hours on end, I couldn’t find a single write-up on what to do about the whole “low beam turns off when high beam is on” issue when you go ahead and put projectors in an SV6 (VZ). So, here’s the entire procedure! What you’ll need - Wire crimper and stripper (this one works...

Hi guys, first time posting, usually just lurking around for info I'm in the process of swapping a VF lfx crate motor into an VE, I'm seeing everywhere that the sump needs swapping but was hoping someone has a manual with a pinout for the ve lfx oil level conector, thinking of possibly modding...

Hey guys I'm thinking about supercharging my sv6 and I'm torn between raptor and vortech. Raptors kit has more rwkw advertised but the vortech has a larger pulley that I can downsize for more psi. I'm after the most power gains and I don't know which charger will give me more. If some people...

Hi, I've got a 2007 VE SV6 and it won't start after an engine swap. I've been told it's most likely the bcm. Are these able to be reprogrammed/reset or do I need a new one?

Does anyone know of any common issues with the VE 6 speed manual, I’m looking at a ute and after a test drive going back into second sometimes it wouldn’t go back in at all and sometimes it was very stiff there was no crunching or nothing and it was only second. Another thing we noticed was...

I’ve been having issues with my MY2010 SV6 ute, and I now have a couple options to finally fix it, but both will be pricey and I’m not sure which I’m better off doing. TL/DR at bottom. The first issue is that the 2 centre cylinders are down on compression (both 100psi while the other 4 are...

Hellooooo, I have a 2009 VE sv6 and am having coolant problems with a ticking purge valve too. I wanna fix it myself but I really need a engine layout or diagram of some sort so I can locate everything I’ll ever need! If anyone has any clue as to where I could find a diagram of the engine...

Hey just seeing if anyone knew what the fuel smell in my car could be. It only comes in when the car get fuel put in then it soon goes away after a few days. Edit: the car needs timing chains replaced (typical ve lol) so I’m not sure if that could be related whatsoever

I picked up 2006 VZ LY7 with timing chain issues and a fairly gunked out engine. I've done the timing chains, the pickup tube o-ring, changed the oil pump, cleaned out most of the gunk and flushed the engine multiple times. The car runs but after you drive it for maybe 2-3 minutes it will...

My 2005 vz is beeping 3 times after locking it. All my doors are shut so I don’t really know why this is happening.

Hi guys and girls. I have a cammed sv6, and I was told not to let fuel get below 1/4 in the tank due to low fuel pressure otherwise “[my] engine will blow”. Now my question is, is this true for all driving conditions or just racing conditions?
