What you get in this OTR Kit:
A custom tune is recommended when fitting this product !!! Email us today and we will put you in contact with the nearest tuner to you!!!
Important!! Please take the time to read Important Information why we recommend a tune be carried out when installing this particular product.
Engine Management Light:
The engine management light on your dash is also known as the EML. This light comes on when one or more of your sensors are not functioning properly Or the Maps that are set in your factory computer have gone over there set parameters (Please refer to the diagram below).
Fuel Trims:
Monitored by the Oxygen sensors, Fuel trims are used to (+) add or (-) subtract fuel from the engine. Why were fuel trims created? In order for vehicle manufacturers to comply with EPA emissions regulations.
Oxygen Sensors:
The purpose for Oxygen sensors which are fitted in the Exhaust systems is to sample the Air Fuel mixture & along with many other sensors located on your motor relay messages back to the factory computer on what’s happening at various points in the engine.
The Air Flow Meter:
In your VE Commodore the Air Flow Meter, Also known as a Maf sensor, is used to calculate the amount of air flowing thru the sensor & into your engine. The engines uses rpm in conjunction with the (MAF) to calculate engine load.
Factory Computer:
The factory computer has basic maps & parameters Tuned / Programmed in by the Manufacturer. Apart from the basics, the purpose of the computer is to carry out necessary adjustments to:
The EML light coming on is not a common problem, but can arise on some vehicle from time to time which are more sensitive than others.In your case, (as shown in the graph below) the fuel trim maps have gone over the factory set ( + / - ) 15% parameter limit & triggered the engine light on the dash now to come on. The factory sensors mentioned above are all working properly & have recognised the extra air now entering the engine, but the factory computer as yet has not compensated for that extra air.
This is not a product fault, Regardless of which Brand / Company Intake product that you install, you may still experience the same outcome with the EML. This EML light coming on is not only pinned down to Cold Air Intakes. On some cars fitting a Sports Exhaust it has been known to trigger the EML light. If you do happen to experience an EML light coming on or have a combination of both Intake & Exhaust fitted to your vehicle and the light hasn’t gone away within the first 500km’s of driving, then we do strongly recommend a custom tune be carried out, as the factory parameters are stretched to there limit.
3 simple things we recommend you do:
Please note: For overseas or international sales (outside Australia) please contact us for pricing.
Check your rego/handbook and the engine cover for 3.6L SIDI references, or look up the engine details using your VIN. If you’re unsure, send us your VIN and a quick engine bay photo, we’ll verify fitment for you before you order.
No. This product suits VF 3.6L SIDI V6 only and will not fit 3.0L SIDI or V8 configurations due to different intake routing and clearances. Choosing the engine-specific Orssom kit ensures correct sensor placement, seal alignment and performance.
You’ll receive the injection-moulded OTR intake body, high-flow filter element(s), quality clamps/mounting hardware, and a step-by-step fitting guide tailored to the VF layout. We also stock replacement filters and accessories, making future maintenance straightforward.
Most drivers report crisper tip-in, stronger mid-range torque, and a freer-revving top end compared with the factory airbox/snorkel. Actual results vary with vehicle condition, ambient temps and supporting mods, but the constant win is lower intake temps from an over-the-radiator intake that feeds cooler air directly to the throttle.
Each Orssom kit is vehicle-specific. The VF 3.6L SIDI intake is moulded for VF-only packaging, mounts and sensor positions, ensuring the best fit and performance in your model. If you’re shopping for a VE, choose the matching VE kit instead.

SUITS: HOLDEN VF V6 3.6L COMMODORE
Fitted with 3.6L Sidi Engine (LFX-LFW) 6 / 2013
Note: A Custom Tune is recommended when fitting this product
Step 1: Removal of Factory air box assembly
Step 2: Installing the Cold Air Intake
Step 3: Important
Due to the relocation of the Airflow Meter & greater volume of air now entering the engine, the vehicle may run rough upon initial start up. This is quite normal until the computer starts relearning new air values. Start Vehicle & let idle for a few minutes then take car for drive. In some cases, vehicles may also experience an engine light intermittently appearing on the dash or a hesitation upon hard acceleration, again quite normal as the computer is still relearning air values. Drive vehicle for at least 500–750km. If engine light still persists within this initial self-learn calibration stage a Custom Tune will be required. Other vehicles that don’t experience any Engine light issues, Tuning is Optional.
Note:
Cover Intake with either a rag or piece of plastic when washing or detailing engine.
