sidi

I have a fault code coming up for Ignition Coil Cylinder 5 Circuit High Voltage(P2313). I have replaced the plugs and coils and checked the fuses but that hasn't fixed the problem, the misfire and code keep returning. Has anyone experienced this issue before and managed to resolve it, if so how...

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...

Hey, I am going to buy a VE sv6 of some sort and i am probably going to buy this 9.5 one. I am just confused with what engine it is. Carsales says its an alloytec but the photo of the engine has the same cover as a SIDI and the SV6 badge on the back is further up, just like the SIDI commodores...

Hi All, Sorry if this seems like an obvious question to some. I’ve recently installed an xforce exhaust to my Ve V6 Sidi and have just ordered the peacemaker headers ph5080sidi. Just wondering what high flow cats will bolt on to that and the exhaust without requiring any welding? Cheers.

Hi all, So this is a bit of a megathread. It's all to do with the mods i'm making to the LLT that's in my ute. Part 1: Active Exhaust McGuffins. So I'm in the process of developing a few things for my Ute's LLT. I've recently installed HSV Bimodal mufflers, and wanted to actually get them...

Just curious to see what people have done to their SIDI. Heaps of aftermarket stuff these days, as well as custom options (if you have the cash) and with the end of manufacturing was keen to see if people are starting to look further than otrs and plenums etc etc.

Car - 2009 Holden VE Ute Engine - 3.6L SIDI (LLT) Timing Kit - Cloyes Brand Kept throwing codes for exhaust side cam fast forward to now, i've replaced the timing chains and idler gears (NOT THE CAM GEARS) Everything goes on nicely, all marks line up not rocket science. Problem is.. When im...

I have been trying to find any information regarding an sidi conversion into a vz manual ute. yes i have searched the fourms and all i can find is people saying just v8 swap its easier, v6 is a waste of time, ect, so if thats what your thinking please keep it too yourself. Im looking for any...

Hi, ive just removed my injectors and had them cleaned and ohm tested but nowhere seems to be able to pressure test them due to the seemingly unique sized viton o'ring. I've been searching the web with sizes ( 1/2" outside diameter, 1/4" inside diameter, 1/8" thickness). Any help wouldd be...

Ok. So before any of you jump in with silly responses like not worth it or just do LS I'm not interested. I personally don't like V8 so it's off the table. Now to real reason I'm posting. I'm going to be buying a commodore soon as a project car for cheap. Now it'll either be a vs or a vz as I...

my V6 SIDI 3.0L VE has given me the P0016, P0017 & P0172 codes ive been told the timing chain could have stretched ? i was quoted $2000 for a mechanic to repair however is there anything else i can check first before i spend money i dont have?

anyone have any ideas on how to push abit more power out of a 3.6L sidi sportswagon with out spending tones of money.

Hi everyone, I have 6 new fuel injectors (bosch/hitachi style like picture below), and am having touble getting the clips that connect the injectors to the fuel rail. The car's a 2009 VE Omega SIDI 3.0L If you know what I'm talking about, it's the 2 part clips, one crescent shaped one fits...

Hi guys, looking for some advice. After taking my 2010 SIDI down to the mechanic to inspect a check engine light, I was informed that I needed two new cats at a cost of around 1k all up. I was wondering whether it would be advantageous to instead purchase some hi flow cats , since I have to...

Hey guys, I decided to fiddle around with my intake and fit a pod filter. I disconnected the sensor after the air filter and unhooked the airbox. Upon taking the airbox out, I noticed there is a second sensor before the air filter but still in the top half of the box. I've had a google...

Hi guys, I am looking at upgrading my VU ute to a VE SV6 sedan, not looking for an SS. I can't pick between the series 1 (MY9.5 SIDI at a minimum) or the series 2 with a manual. From the exterior, the series 2 does look that little bit nicer and it's leaps and bounds ahead on the...

Hi guys, still relatively new to this site. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff but I couldn't find anything specific to my enquiry. I have a 2010 berlina, 3.0L sidi. I've made it look nicer than the grandma spec it comes stock. Been lowered, tinted windows, Calais tail...

Hi Everyone, Some of you already know the good news but for those who do not we have had another VF Commodore here in AUS install and tune these cams from the team @ MACE Engineering and we are happy to share the positive results with you. This particular vehicle started off with ~190rwkw...

Hired an SIDI SV6 when I was in Darwin a few weeks ago. I have a 3.0 SIDI and I noticed an immediate difference in exhaust sound. It wasn't massive but it had a much more raspier snarl which I really liked. Now, if I put on a set of ss quad tips, particularly the afm Y tips ones, will it...

I've got a 2010 3.0 SIDI with 115kms. I've noticed the past few weeks the motor seems more "vibey". More noticeably when it's cold and after the motor settles down after the first 30 seconds or so when it idles a higher. Now it's not really bad or anything and still pretty smooth and that...

Everyone under the sun knows about the old ecotec and rear main seal leaks. I haven't heard anything about the sidi engines whether 3.0 or 3.6? Reason I ask is, I have a 2010 Berlina sportswagon with 104k. Oil a nice colour, excellent service history, is due for a service now. No abnormal oil...

Hey guys does any one know how a sv6 sidi will react to not having the rear post cat o2 sensors connected changed my exhaust and need new sensors but have to wait a couple of days for them to get to me, I'm guessing it will just run rich or lean. Any help would be great :)

It seems there was an issue with timing chains stretching for 06-08 Holdens. My question is was this issue resolved for the 3.6 SIDI LLT engine on the VE introduced towards the tail end of 2009. From what I have read it seems the general consensus is that it “should have been” resolved by then...

Could people put up some links to really worked LLT sidi sv6's or is there any that yous know of that stick out, want to find out what's the max power power people are getting out of them whether that be n/a, blown or turbocharged just wanting an idea or post up your ride if it's something...

Hi all, My 2010 VE sv6 ute with 95,000km on the clock has been logging P0008 and engine light is on. Also noticed massive loss of power moments before engine light comes on (possible limp mode?). Tried clearing codes but problem comes back usually a day or two later. Just wondering if anyone...

Does anyone know roughly how much power i would get with a full performance exhaust like headers, extractors and what not all the way back, vcm otr cai, manifold insulators, mace cams and mace tune? just want to know if its worth spending like the $4000 it would cost happy to drop that in to...

Hi guys, Thinking of selling my 2010 sidi 3.6l sv6 ute was wondering what do you guys reckon is a fair price? List of extras: Factory hardtop on car, soft cover extra, Cop style roo bar (balckplastic with fog lights) extra, Leather interior, the upgraded pedals, HID's, 19inch Advanti rims...

I have just brought a 2011 series 2 Calais V SIDI with a LLT motor. I know that pacemaker makes headers for the SIDI, but I want to know if BBK Long Tube Headers made for the Camaro with a LLT motor will fit in the engine bay of the Calais and would these Headers be legal here in Aussie Land...

I've been a member for a little while now and havn't posted any pics of my ride :) so I thought I better put it on here :). I bought it back in March at the QFleet Police Auction for $15500, which I thought was a pretty good deal. I'm only 17 and still go to school so it serves the purpose well...

hey everyone, so i was trying to research the differences between the non SIDI and the SIDI motors, and although i know how they are different in operation, im not too sure as to how they are physically different... injectors etc.. so it got me thinking maybe a conversion was possible? if its...

Hey guys I was wondering how and where to get my 'sv6' and 'sidi' badge removed?? Do I take it to Holden to do it or panel beaters?? Cheers

ITEM: VE SV6 twin chrome exhaust tips and mufflers. CONDITION: good condition, slight dent on both mufflers (symmetrical dents oddly), no leaks, same exhaust note from new. 1 year old. PRICE: 50$ all together for both. TRANSIT: Pick up only. Based in Bedford Park, Adelaide.

Gday guys. My dad's in the market for a 08+ VE at the moment, but he would prefer a car with lpg. I know the options are either factory dual fuel, or getting an unleaded converted to duel fuel. I have heard a few things about the SIDI not going well with lpg, and dad's mechanic told him he...

Hey guys, just looking for a 2010 Camaro V6 Clutch Replacement kit. My car has the same powertrain as the Commodore SV6 SIDI. No one over here seems to care about making an aftermarket kit, so I'm looking elsewhere. I just cant stand the stock dual mass flywheel setup anymore. Already looked...

After a fantastic user on here "SV6SIDI" had posted a link to Powerchip I have decided to call them and discuss their package terms and such. The car will be on the dyno before and after with printouts supplied. The engine itself will go from 210 to 226kw without any headers/intake etc. So...

For anyone interested in the direct injected SV6 - I've had my SIDI sportswagon for a month now and with 2250km on it I took it to the creek last Wednesday, 25/11/09 to see what they really do and give myself a base to compare too. It pulled consistent 15.3 seconds at 149km/h in full auto...

Hi, Well, my experiment of downsizing from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder has failed dismally! I'm considering buying a new VE Omega 'International' 3.0 SIDI (with the leather trim & 18" alloys for $35,990). But I'm a little concerned about the low torque figure. I mainly use the vehicle for...
