Holden Performance - Lumina ss mods

Hi guyz, just registered to this forum.. and excited to meet u all!

I have a red lumina ss coupe (middle eastern spec) and wanted to put some mods, what do u think should i go with in the beginning to push 40 to 50 horses! Im thinking of a cat-back exhaust , headers w/ y pipe, intake system, camshaft, shift kit, tranny cooler, torque converter and a tuning program. Not to mention sticky tires with lowered springs.

I dont know if which products will fit my car since all of u have different LS1 models.. What do u think will work for my car as a daily driver?

i had one it was 99
my mods were custom TC 3200,, headers with Y pipe and dual cut outs ,stock cat back, hot cam ,,and a vortech supercharger with 6 pound
450rwhp

it was my daily drive back home(UAE)

If you wanna mod a Lumina SS get Commodore parts they are the same car but with different names. Don’t try ordering parts from US all you need are Australian parts :devil:

BTW where do you live mate? I live in Bahrain :cheers:

I live in Bahrain also! where in bahrain?

The Lumina SS cars are the RHD like the US right? If you want some headers we have some long tubes that clear your steering rack :) Pictures and Dyno #'s in a matter of days. Other than that the AUS parts will work, but I am confident the US aftermarket will push this car further then it has been.

I'm not sure.. I thought the only headers available were pacemaker. My car is the same as the monaro but left-hand drive. It is 328 HP LS1 engine.. What performance parts do u have?

Lumina is a LHD car just like American cars, Holden’s are RHD :judge:

I’m with Speed Inc. AUS headers might not fit because they must clear the LHD steering rack, other than that most Holden parts should fit :chug:

What performance parts do u have?

Pretty much anything you need.

guys from Bahrain i know a guy got alot of stuff (perf parts)for lumina SS and impala SS 99 and up he is in UAE dubai,,

i'll pm u his number if u want to

If it's not too much trouble, you should post pictures of your Lumina sometime, there aren't many good ones online, not even on GM's sites...

Wow, talk about an old thread. What kinda motor is in that thing? I have never heard of a Lumina SS. Here in the states, they are definitely not sports cars though.

the new lumina ss is the g8 and the old one is the gto

Lumina SS (http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0geu5S9vE5KWk8ATetXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&p=lumina%20ss&vm=r&fr2=tab-web&fr=yfp-t-501),

it comes with ls1, ls2 engines

it comes with ls1, ls2 engines

The 4 door 6.0 litre cars will be L98 engines and not LS2.

Could one of you guys post some pics of a Lumina SS? I've never heard of such a car.

OK, I just looked at Engine HP's pics of various Luminas. Thats funny that they are called a Lumina!!! Here (USA) a Lumina is a cheap FWD v6 car that old women drive. I guess the old Z34 Luminas ran pretty good for what they were, but still v6 FWD cars. Not cool like the SS you guys are talking about. I wish GM USA made all the right wheel drive cars that you guys have in the middle east, and Australia. Have fun with those Lumina Super Sports boys!!

i think u have the same car but there its called HOLDEN, or GTO, i think

this one is right from KWI

good car for lumina ss good horse power

.

I have an old Z-34. It didn't come with an LS,
but it did come with a decent 11.6 liter engine that is pretty cool??
No old lady's in this one, that's for sure.

I wish we had these cars in the US.

WOW someone from Oman! :secret2:
Lumina SS + Holden Commodore & HSV + GTO/goat = I believe there are all same, sharing same design and performance (made in AUS)!
These animals are heavy and cannot go faster than stock LS1 (not sure for new ver. tho)

Unfortunately THE NEW CAMARO IS AUCULLY NEW LUMINA SS here in ME (I read it from a magazine)!!! :bang: That’s true. Australian camaro!!!! :barf:
Sorry GM, Now you killed the soul of Camaro :007: :violin:

I wish we had these cars in the US.

yeah i read somewhere that AUST cars are not alowed in the US :chug:

When i was doing contract work in Kuwait a couple of guys bought Lumina SS cars,they wanted to ship them back to the states but quickly found out that the computer controlled emission mods alone to get it back to U.S specs alone will kill your wallet.

yeah i read somewhere that AUST cars are not alowed in the US :chug:

Where did you read that. BS magazine?
The only difference other right and left hand drive, is the tune on the cars. Foriegn versions are tuned for the fuel they use in that particular country. Which in Australia is sometimes is a higher octane.

GTO, Holden monaro, HSV monaro or gto, vauxhall monaro, old lumina ss 2dr....all the same car. Left hand drive in US only. All others are right hand drive.


G8 new lumina ss and gen 5 Camaro are all on the zeta platform. Pretty much the same car with different body panels.

The G8 ST that was going to be in the US is a Holden Maloo

Ah now I see why this is in the Australian section - its a Holden Commodore SS , oh yeah .

:hail:

New to the site. I currently have a 06 Lumina SS, LS1, M6. All Coupe version of the SS are LS1 I believe, unlike 05-06 GTO's.

I was also looking at bringing this back to the states and have talked with a conversion company.

I got a GMVIS report and the VEHICLE BUILD sheet from another web site.

To make a long story short the engine is a CALIF EMISSION SYS LEV2 PLUS (NU4), saying that it meets all emissions for the EPA. There are other things that would have to be replaced to meet DOT specs. Lights, bumpers, converting the speedo to mph, etc..

Enough rambling, Good site!!!
