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
That is certainly getting up there but then you are fixing all the evils with the dry sump.

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...

Re: Ecotec V6 Dry sump
My low oil pressure was on our L67 VX Commodore. Our street is uphill so you can brake a lot harder without locking up than on a flat surface. I wanted to find the point the tires would loose grip and the ABS would kick in. For the LS motors, I believe it's a design flaw in the block and it's someth...

Re: Ecotec V6 Dry sump
Came across this relevant video, the guy in it is really goofy but some interesting and surprising results with the oil windage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk7r0TL0Or4 I've watched a few of his videos, Definitely a interesting kinda guy. I think what that shows is they lack oil/windage control...

Re: Muggy high humidity days significantly improves performance - But how?
Probably need to measure EGT too to get a better idea of what is happening in the cylinder. The other thing that comes to mind is moisture changing the burn of the fuel. It's been a long time since I've looked at it but they used water injector on aircraft and it changed the fuel burn characteristic...

Re: Muggy high humidity days significantly improves performance - But how?
As you say, moisture in the air is supposed to be a bad thing but then why does water injection increase power? I remember my old 308 was really happy on cold mornings, especially when there was a bit of fog about, you could hear it in the exhaust note. Maybe it's the way you have it tuned? Factory ...

Re: IAC flaring on EFI Hardware Throttle Body
This is from the 11p Overview PDF, Closed Throttle Volumetric Efficiency (VE) On engines with low and varying vacuum at idle it can be problematic using the MAP sensor signal for fueling. A closed throttle VE vs RPM table has been added. To enable the use of this table set “[xxxx] set = Closed Throt...
