1.9 cdti airbox mod seems to be the one of choice at the moment
i'm sure someone can elaborate more

nice car and welcome!

[Ash VXRoz]

Thanks Nuggs!

Will look into that. Anybody have any up for sale?

Hah, I actually do just want one. Or two, like kabel.

Definitely get a map though, first port of call... imo. You can do the 1.9cdti airbox mod yourself quite easily if you like, although Holden are a bit of a ripoff on the airboxes, and you'll need to modify it to fit the 80mm afm. If you want more details just ask

P.S. want to swap your steering wheel badge for a Holden one?

Welcome to the site mate. If you need any details on the airbox mod have a look here.

There are a few maps for the vxr, the main 3 being blufin, dreamscience and EDS all in handheld units. Each has their strengths and weakness's.

Hi there Guys!
Thanks for the replies!

mania: Im sure I'll be able to do the airbox mod myself. A bit of a technical guy . I did see this though:

I LOVE that blow off sound. Just has an internal DV and Cone filter.
Im in Alice Springs NT, so not much on offer here by way of sotware uprades

Soory bro! Wont part with my Opel badge! Reminds me of my Opels I had back home

Nurb608: Thanks man! Lovely car you have there! Unfortunately, being in alice Springs, its hard to find a tuner to do maps

EL BURITO: Thanks! Will keep an eye out for Kim or Shaun

Cheers mate. In relation to the maps, no need for a tuner as they are handheld units that plug straight into your car and upload. Have a look on www.hsvvxr.com aswell, plenty of info on there for our cars.

Also most (all?) are a one time cost, and then you can change the maps as much as you like. So should you fit an uprated intercooler, etc, you can change the map for free.

One more reason to get the map first, before you do anything else .

EDIT: If you do take the cone filter route, be sure to heat shield it well. Needs to be completely partitioned off from the engine bay. To see why, just try disconnecting the cold air feed to the airbox and go for a drive around in Alice Springs . Resulting heat soak is terrible..
