@@d-z-376I think that’s still a pretty big thing though, the computer makes the auto very slow off the line to build revs, if the computer is told to open the throttle body faster, it should therefore make quite the difference off the line without actually giving a power increase if that makes sense?

Unless you got big pockets to feed the quite fuel hungry V8 SS, the SV6 wagon is a fantastic all rounder. It's not perfect but its a great car. You can't easily buy wagons anymore, and you certainly wont get a faster one for the money. You still get good power, far more power than any modern SUV, 4cyl/5cyl dual cab, bucketloads of space in the back, heaps of comfort, decent handling and jack-of-all-trades car

The VZ alloytecs weren't quite as bad as everyone says. They did require a fair bit more maintenance than the ecotec, but if the maintenance and timing chains were done they lasted a while (it was also a similar situation with the 5 speed auto boxes). The VE alloytecs were apparently worse, especially when it came to timing chain issues.

I don’t think it’s an “economy” mode per say, if you go into that tab it shows your fuel economy in a bunch of different ways, as far as I can tell in my vf sv6 that’s all it is ahaha I thought it was an economy mode at first but nothing online about it being so, and when I go into it it’s not like I can change it to say anything else so yeah I think it’s just a tab for fuel economy details. Would love to be wrong and there’s a secret sport mode or something, but not that I can tell 👍

Just fitted ORT Intake, got exhaust on the way and then it will go to Oztrack for a tune and I am hoping for 280HP on the rear wheels. The dream car that I can afford.

Colour wise, that is very rare and must be very late build Series 1 (Possibly a production/paint pilot vehicle) because the colour looks to be slipstream blue. That wasn't an offical VF Series 1 colour, only became an offical option in Series 2 to replace the Series 1 Perfect Blue. Shame the exterior mods and rims have absolutely ruined it, but each to their own.

I do all of my own tuning and i have a VF SV6 LFX Wagon for towing my race car and the 6L45E don't shift like that thing (you know it shifts) those shifts and their Shift consistencies need work,it is leaving so much on the table in terms of torque multiplication and keeping the big wagon momentum going etc and without being disrespectful being a direct injection combo you'd think that AFR would be leaner more towards 13.0/13.2 etc roughly because you tune a direct injection setup completely different to a port injected motor but every engine is different and it may like it a tad richer

I know with the ve it has an anti abuse feature where it will cut torque because it senses it is trying to do a burnout, I have the 3.0L lfw and mine definitely has that because even with tc off it cuts power a bit, if you turn traction control off and dont try to brake launch it, i find i get a better result, but also a good tuner should be able to get the anti abuse tuned out, or atleast that is what my tuner said they can do when I take mine in, but tbh I am very surprised that it was that slow, my 3.0L wagon does 0-100 in about 7.7 seconds and it is completely stock under the hood and it has 20 less kw and about 60 nm less from factory than the LFX.

These motors can make decent power but they need a lot of work as they are just way too soft in standard form. Why Holden couldn't or didn't just use the higher output versions of these engines they used in the States in the Cadillac's is anyone's guess, probably cost. A VE-VF wagon even in v6 is still a big heavy car so a mid 6 second 0-100 time is pretty good. Although I wouldn't have one in an auto.. would have to be a manual even if it meant doing the conversion.

They were down tuned unfortunately for the SIDI tech , and Holden knew that if these engines were tuned aspowerful as the ones in the Camero, which is legit the same engine , well mate they wouldn’t be p plate legal …. And more previous customer complaints on fuel efficiency forced their hand into only making them 280 odd hp :( .

I have a series 2 VF SV6, with hi flow cats, standard exhaust, OTR and proper custom tune - runs mid 13 sec 1/4 mile. This thing clearly had a average tune. Should easily do high 5, low 6 sec 0 to 100. Love your content - peace ✌️

@@RossReviewsau Yeah it's used to be a common mod here before VE's came out. People seem to think that getting the 6 speed meant that having any gears would make it optimal. Unfortunately that's not how it works with torque in each gear vs the speed you are doing. There is room for improvement. Plus we only drive at 100/10kmph vs the US who do 120 and 130 on their highways. Having a bit more gear isn't a big deal here compared to other places in the world.

Hell yeah, LLT’s and LFX’s with OTR , exhaust, dyno tune, are decent, better fuel economy as well. the wagon is a bit heavier than the sedan but it is the VF so at least it’s slightly lighter than the VE. Personally … the exhaust does sound raspy and not my taste tbh, sounds like it’s an Xforce 2.5”. The Xforce 2.25” defo sounds better with some downpipes or hi flow cats fitted imo, better low down torque but does suffer with peak hp compared to a 2.5”-3” catback system. The problem is a lot of sv6’s really aren’t tastefully done , not a lot of clean ones… no offence to this owner

I find that's a big mistake a lot of V6 owners make. I'm still on Ps with a 2009 Calais alloytech. All I've got is a 2.25 inch xforce exhaust, whilst clearly not being the best sounding thing ever it doesn't have the drone or rasp the 2.5 inch exhausts have. I find v6s sound fine until they're straight piped or have a 3inch on em

​@@Tosicc567this is true, whilst the alloytec doesn't sound the greatest, there's plenty of owners who install crappy exhausts that accentuate it even more.

@@vxsr33 Mine still has two mufflers so its not the loudest, plus 2.25inch is the width of the stock exhaust, might be why I find it sounds a bit better. So many people just stick a 3inch straightpipe on them and they sound absolutely crap.
