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:

  • Fuel / Spark / Timing maps depending on the information it receives from these sensors

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:

  1. If your using that rubbish E10 fuel get rid of it. Fill up your next tank with 95 or 98 Octane fuel. Even thou your fuel cap say’s E10 suitable, we do not recommend it for high compression engine.
  2. Disconnect your car battery for at least 15 mins. This will reset the factory computer and wipe out the engine light fault on the dash.
  3. Drive your car for at least 300 to 500km for the computer can learn the new values. If the EML light doesn’t go off by then a Custom Tune is required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I confirm I have the 3.6L SIDI V6?

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.

Does this fit 3.0L SIDI or any V8 models?

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.

What’s included in the kit?

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.

What real-world gains can I expect?

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.

How does this VF OTR differ from VE versions?

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.

Do you ship Australia-wide and internationally?

Yes. We ship across Australia and worldwide. Checkout displays available services, ETA windows and pricing based on your location, including tracking for peace of mind.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Registered Design No: 329032

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

  1. Remove engine cover (Lift cover up & it will unclip) Diag 1 (A)
  2. Disconnect Air Breather hose Diag 1 (B) from port located at rear of silencer.
  3. Un-plug Airflow Sensor harness. Diag 1 (C) Unclip harness loom near sensor. Follow loom back & cut cable tie which secures harness to top Air Box Lid.
  4. Loosen hose clamp at Throttle body Diag 1 (D). Unclip top Air Box lid & remove Air Box & Silencer box. Remove Air Filter panel. Diag 1 (D)
  5. Remove Factory Airflow Sensor located in top Air Box lid Diag 1 (C)
  6. Undo 2x 10mm nuts, remove lower Air Box assembly from vehicle Diag 1 (E).
    Note: The rear lug of the lower air box may be a bit tight to get past the battery terminal. Try removing inner rubber grommet for a bit more clearance.

Step 2: Installing the Cold Air Intake

  1. Fit Mounting Brackets (L & R) to fan shroud as shown in Diag 2. Brackets are adjustable U+D; leave loose for final height adjustment. Place the 3 Speed Clips onto brackets, including Centre bracket already mounted on Lower Intake Box.
  2. To enable Intake cone to continue further forward & meet up with the body line, trim Centre shroud clip & Coolant bypass hose as shown in Diag 3.
  3. Fit Airflow Meter to Airflow Meter adaptor Diag 4 which is pre-fitted to Intake.
  4. Fit rubber bellow & clamp supplied over Airflow Meter adapter. Place existing factory hose clamp onto other side of rubber bellow & lower intake box into position, sliding rubber bellow over Throttle body at the same time.
  5. Connect Airflow Meter harness to Sensor. Keep wiring away from belts & pulleys. Push factory Air breather hose over the breather adapter.
  6. Fit K&N Air filter. Sit Top Intake cover on. Screw the 4 Cover bolts on but leave loose. Align front of Intake Cover flush with radiator support, fit & tighten 3 Phillips screws at front first. If the intake cover sits up adjust the mounting bracket heights & seat both sides. Finally tighten the 4 main Intake cover bolts.
  7. Trim hood seal as shown in Diag 5. Failure to do so will restrict the Colder Air from flowing into engine.

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.
