My name is Michael and I am trying to collect as much informations on the Vk efi commodore I have numbered the questions so as they are eaiser to read and answer 1. Do you have any copies of Media releases for the VK efi commodore 2. How much was 4 wheel disc brakes and lsd for the vk efi commodore as an option 3. Do you have any pictures or information on the efi engine when Holden was experimenting with it in the early 1980's 4. Why did Holden choose th LE-2 Jetronic for the VK efi commodore, when Bosch also had the LH Jetronic which is the same as the LE Jetronic but with the hot-wire system and the Motronic system 5. What was the idea behind Holden not following Ford and locating the exhaust and inlet on opposite sides to each other. This would have had given better port design hence improving the engine dramaticly 6. Does the VK efi engine have mounting brackets for the vehicle speed snsor which is located at the rear of the cylinder block in the VK est engine 7. Why can not the VK efi ecu have and exchange "chip" put in it 8. I have heard that the VK efi commodores 3 speed automatic is acturley the VH 253 automatic. Is this correct 9. Do you have copies of the driving test for the VK efi commodore that Holden did 10. Why did not the Holden engine designers modenized the rocker cover for the VK efi commodore 11. Did any of the 1986 VK efi commodores come with ulp 12. If the VK efi commodore came with a manual trans, what would the noise emissions be Thankyou

I may be able to help with a couple of questions. 8) 3. Do you have any pictures or information on the efi engine when Holden was experimenting with it in the early 1980's The engine that Holden first experimented with EFI on, was the 6 cyl 2.8 ltr (173) blue motor in 1980. 5. What was the idea behind Holden not following Ford and locating the exhaust and inlet on opposite sides to each other. Because the carby black motors (Which the EFI motor is based on) did not have a cross flow cylinder head. 11 Did any of the 1986 VK efi commodores come with ulp No, They all ran Leaded petrol 12. If the VK efi commodore came with a manual trans They only came with an automatic Hope this helps. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
