Re: G'Day
Gave it a run today.
Service history is 1500 miles since last year, so an injector cleaner at double dose for half a tank, refilled, and Lucas/ TCW-3.
0-100km/hr 7.0 seconds.
Minor (1 Rear wheel) spin early on. Slight chirp into 2nd. Audible whine from around 4300RPM-5,300 RPM

3 bottles delivered from ZZ Performance yesterday for the same price as 1 bottle from the local dealer.
Very well packaged.
Good work.

Re: Running 110 Leaded race fuel daily
No, specifically it's a fuel's resistance to self igniting under temperature and pressure.00Beast wrote:First off, Octane is a fuel's resistance to burn period.
When there's a flame, it burns at the same rate regardless.

Re: What cars have the 4T60-E transmission?
The better acceleration one with slightly worse economy (generally).

Re: Electric Supercharger
12 Volts, 2.2 Amps = 24.4 watts.
It's about as powerful as a PC cooling fan (which it probably is on the inside).

Re: Running 110 Leaded race fuel daily
When a fuel starts to burn, any fuel goes all the way.
Octane is just the resistance to the fuel burning in the absence of a flame front (i.e.hot spot or end gas auto-ignition). Flame speeds, and completeness of combustion don't change.

Re: another aussie
g'day, that combo in a gemini would be serious.
I used to like the Country Dealer Team Geminis back in the day, just couldn't afford one.

Re: How much can be gained by a chip change ?
If the pinouts and other programming is the same, go for it.
BTW, what's "reasonable" in AUD?
The Computers are selling on ebay for a couple hudred bucks tops.
Usually, most things/chips/mod boxes are around a grand.
Looks like mine won't take it, as the model was changed same year as mine ...

Sorry, I thought asking a question about the standard V-6 supercharged chip versus the XU-6 supercharged chip fitted.

How much can be gained by a chip change ?
And what is the trade-off ?
Here's mine with 220hp.

Next year they had another 7hp, and HSV came out with the XU-6, and 240hp.

Re: sc oil check qustion
Did a bit of scouting around and got some GM bottles from ZZ Performance...they offered a range of postal options (like a dozen), ranging from $11 to $72.
Having that sort of problem for a lot of stuff. $20 bottle of Rejex, $50 shipping etc.
