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

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.

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.

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

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
