vn v6 into vk.

[vktorana]

Ok guys I'm finally gonna start doing this conversion. Just thought I'd post a thread and run you through everything I do.

Ok well i bought a full doner car being a vn with a recon v6 pretty sure its a series 1. Was 300 bucks and it runs great etc.

The car its going into is my vk which I converted to an efi 202 not that long ago.

Ok well so far I have drained the coolant and removed the radiator which is pretty straight forward. Be sure to label all the bolts. I use snap lock bags and write on the bags. Next I removed the air filter box add all the connecting pipe. Be sure to prevent dust entering the intake by stufing a rag in the exposed throttle body. I also did the same to the coolant system. Next I removed the aircon pipes at the compessor be sure to degas the air con first. Mine had no gas anyways. Next I went to the computer and unplugged it and pushed the wiring through the firewall. Uncliped a couple sensors and sat the wiring oj top the engine. Next the fuses and wiring over near the battery keeping as much together as possible. Just a few plugs that lead into the fuse box and that's done. Well thats all i did on day one cos i was taking my time. I will be taking photos and running you through everything i do hope this helps anyone else who attemps this

[VBRED]

Need some photos mate. Keep it going.

You can tell it is a series 1 if the top coolant pipe comes from the back left of the engine.

Are you going auto or manual?

[vk.jonno]

lol. thats not how i roll mate

Yeah, same with us, about 1000000000 bots on the tonner, lost about all -2 haha
But were replacing them all anyway
The metric bolts with every 2nd bolt imperial was doing my head in

[ari666]

nothing more fun than fishing through a bucket full of bolts then going f'k it, that ones close enough

[soop]

Hahaha, if it fits its good enough for me. Hell if it gets half way and decided its imperial it gets made into a metric pretty quick.

[ari666]

hehehe

how many times have i got the angle grinder out and cut a groove into a bolt so it instantly becomes a tap

[vktorana]
