[hellsvk]

hey guys ive got a vn v6 with the t5 it was originally a 6 cyl manual and ive got ahold of a v8 manual pedal box,has anyone swapped them over? does the steering coloum need to come out?
also with the computer being mounted on the passenger side footwell,what kick panel will suit to cover up the computer,im thinking maybe vl ? cheers!

Yes and yes, column has to be dropped to change the pedals.

Vl kick panel covers the ecu

The whole steering column has to come out as well as the brake booster. Unscrew the lower cover to the steering wheel. Un plug all eklectrical connections. Undo 2 x 13mm bolts to the underside of the dash. Drop the column. There is a bolt on top of the column that attaches the column to the pedal box. Use extensions to get at thru the steering wheel. The pedal box has 2 bolts either side of the clutch, 2 bolts from the brake master cylyinder and a 5th bolt up under the dash. The Vl kick also needs to be trimmed to fit.

Why does the brake booster have to come out? I've never had to pull them out to get pedal boxes out.

I am with you Danny8. Brake booster didnt need to be taken out on my VH.

im wondering if the differences in leverage between the 6cyl pedal and the v8 will make a difference in the conversion? or doesnt it matter when used in a v6 application.

I'm using a VK 6 cylinder pedal box in my VK with an EFI 5L and t5. It does the job, the V8 pedal box would just make the clutch pedal sit normal (sits out a bit further then the brake and accelerator pedal) and ya don't have to push it as far.
