I guess theres always one bad apple in the barrel. I guess thats society. No respect towards others. I guess theyre the type of people that have very lonely and fruitless lives. Thanks guys for your positive comments, overall. But the guy that called me a cockhead "80737k" seems to be quite disrespectful, and to me, it seems very lame. Maybe it is he that needs to take a good look at himself in a mirror and clean up his act. Id say he lives in a cave, has never ever had a shave, has never scored with a chick, and is most likely jobless. NOT SURPRISING!!!. To treat someone like that for no apparent reason, is totally uncalled for, un-acceptable, and VERY UN-AUSTRALIAN!!!.

His account should be axed and he should be removed from the site!. Part of the reason that I stopped posting on oldholden.com, is because of reasons like that.

I guess if that sort of behaviour is acceptable here, maybe I sould leave this forum also?!.

Hey commodorenut, peter and Dr Terry,

Thanks for your positive attitudes towards my comments, and clearly understanding what I am talking about.

Its a shame that most others are as level-headed and think as clearly as you guys. You understand what im talking about, and dont talk s***.

Its a shame about some of the others on here.

Not Appreciated!!!

My car is my lady, and she always makes me crazy!!!

This is a real shame as you went to quite a bit of effort to put that together then post it. Good on you for standing up for yourself though.

Its funny how some people act at times, anybody that knows their Holden stuff would think differently of the VK Commodore and what it did for Holden after the VC VH fizzle out.

Im starting to think that one of those clowns that thought they were being funny was one of those limp d1ck little maggots that Beth got off her chops with the other night and thought he was Mr Cool or Fonzie or something like that. Some people!

Good luck with your project.

Best Regards Bob.

Well, 1 page on track out of 3 isnt so bad I guess!?

jlangley666, that was a good post mate and congrats on a successful build! On a personal note, remember that the 202 (as commodorenut said) is an old, out of date motor that really isnt that cheap to do up - people will ALWAYS bag you for making the same or more power than them out of one... you need to learn to ignore them and get on with beating them on the bitumen.

I too have an efi 202 that Im trying to push but keeping it semi-reliable.. sometimes the fact that it is "a dinosaur" is the whole reason of doing one up.

The only thing i would disagree with though is your choice of head gasket. With my turbo 202 efi build I have changed back from a copper h/gasket (albeit 1.6mm) to the ACL race series h/g because I did not o-ring the head/block (like HQforme said - newbie mistake!). If you go the forced induction route I would encourage you to look into this.
Coppers are great if you o-ring and of course use head studs and dont forget to use a bucket load of gasket goop!

Since changing to the race series gasket I have pumped 15psi into the motor on occassion without any probs. And for those interested I am STILL using the vk efi setup with bigger injectors and a few tweaks.
Its far from optimal and Ill be getting rid of it soon BUT I have been surprised as to what this old setup can cope with.

Hey fellas,

Thanks for your positive comments ;). I know the best advice you can get is the advice that you can give to yourself. I once built a 3.3 blue motor out of bits and pieces and it rattled a little, and didnt perform as good as it shouldve. Sorta called it a frankenstein motor. Also by taking other peoples advice, you can end up in a much worse position than what you would if youd just done it your own way. I guess the reason I started this post is to inform others of my successful build, and the infos there for others to see who wish to do the same or something simillar. I know that a holden 6 isnt the best, most upto date or cheapest motor to overhaul, but I do like the simplicity. Knowing that if I have to do any basic repairs, its gonna be an easy job i.e. replacing a water pump, fuel pump or oil pump. I remember last year having to replace a waterpump for my sisters V6 magna, and that was a whole weekends worth of work!. Even my dads renault took me a few hours to replace the water pump on it. One of the few things I like about holden. I like simple things that are easy to maintain. I dont particularly care about the holden six being very old technology and being ancient, because we all know that it is quite true. The first holden grey motors were cheverolet rejects. They had to do something with them, so they sent them to australia. The grey motor wasnt strong enough for the american market "Note they had straight 8s and 12s at the time i.e. Deusenberg.". The red and blue motor was also based on the old grey, and had very gradually increased its technology to the point where they got to the black EFI 202 motors.

As for some nasty people outthere. Im not trying to be antagonistic towards them in anyway, and I honestly dont know what their beef is. Maybe they have psychological problems. Who knows???

Probably pissed because they have had very unsuccessful rebuilds and the alike.

My car is my lady, and she always makes me crazy!!!

Now this is a injected six!

You guys are absolutely right,

Yeah GTS308 - those pics look awesome. I bet its a really sweet motor. Bet it hammers.

And yeah. If youre willing to put the effort into an old 202, you can get a lot out of them. I finally had got the time to look at my old EFI 202 motor, and it wasnt as badly worn as I may have thought. GOt some info from the previous owner. Turns out that its only done around 170,000Kms. It has minnimal ringland, so ill just cut it down with my ringland cutter and give it a mild hone. Its gonna make a good spare motor, once I get the cash to start working on it. Il probably make something mild out of it. Gotta get a camera, so I can throw up some pics of my project.

Tad harsh on the boy EFI304HT I dont disagree with you, but everyone has faults.

"We are but a grain of sand on the beach of life"

Well put.

I can see both sides of the coin.

Dr Terry

I have to admit that I am a fan of the oldholden and this site and have always found the people on the two sites more than helpful.
So as I said before I dont disagree with you EFI304HT.
