Re: GQ USB Programmer Software failure?
Installed the software on my desktop PC, manually updated the driver for the programmer and it all works so really unsure of what is happening on the laptop.

Re: V6 Timing chain questions.
How many miles do they put on a timing chain though before it's replaced? Not sure, they do hours of use instead. I vaguely recall something like 50 hours? I assume an average speed of 160kh/h which I recall reading somewhere once, I think how they were our fastest race cars for a long time, averag...

Re: 4l60 no 4th gear
Intermittent faults are a bitch.
Next time out try going 100% TPS and see if the fault re-occurs.

Re: 4l60 no 4th gear
Shift points are governed by road speed and TPS. Make sure both of those are reading correctly first.

Re: Ecotec V6 Dry sump
Was interested to see if there are any high capacity v6 sumps anywhere and I found this mob. Not only do they mod v6 sumps to have scrapers and baffles, more oil etc... In the gallery I found a dry sump for ecotec :lol: http://www.asroilpans.com/holden-gallery.html I've got one in the garage, the r...

Re: Ecotec V6 Dry sump
Holden V8's have a very shallow valve angle, unlike the Chevy 23° stuff which makes the drain back better but worse valve to bore angle. At the end of the day, I also don't think we are revving our engines high enough for windage to be a huge factor, it gets much worse the higher the RPM. What RPM d...
