vh help!!

[hellsvk]

hey i guys i know this has probably been covered before but ive got a vk 202 efi with all the loom and everything ready to go etc,just seing if the smart people on here could shed some light if they have done something similar?also ive got the lsd diff,how do i go about installing that when the vh has drum brakes?

[Jonno]

first u need a efi fuel tank
vk efi,vl etc

[hellsvk]

yep ive got the fuel tank

[Jonno]

all else should be all sweet then bro
should move the battery to the boot at the same time

[hellsvk]

how do i go about wiring does it plug in or will i have to sort something out?the car is a manual i have an auto computer does this matter?also i have a vk dash how do i go about wiring that up?

[Jonno]

the vk ecu runs the whole computer so u would have to use that, um Holden had alot of problems with manuals behing the fuel injected 202, i havnt myself done the converson, but it should be pretty simple if ur changing the dash as well

[SL/ENUT]

Holden never made the EFI 202 with cogswapper so, dunno what your on about there.

[hellsvk]

ive got a vk dash sitting here just wanted to know what went where,looks like an after market computer

[vkwalks39]

Ive done it with my vh went alrite until a spun a bearing in the motor. The whole dash has to be pull out so you can run the vk dash. I use the vh heater switch cause the vk is different. U can use the diff as long u dont do to many skids. I hope this help you Cheers Jason

lol yeah the amount of boneheads I see saying they have a factory VK EFi 202 just makes me laugh Auto computer will work fine, do a delco conversion if your chasing power

cogswapper? nah i have the lsd diff out of the calais,ive pretty much got the the whole driveline from a vk 6cyl calais,glad to hear i dont have to run an after market computer,whats the deal with the delco ecu? hard to do?

[SL/ENUT]

cogswapper=manual gearbox. Slush box= Auto

[hellsvk]

ahh now im in the picture,learn something new every day!

[VK SL 3800]

It should be plug and play at the main harness near the booster, the engine computer has no connection to the auto box so a manual shouldnt be a problem. but the EFI also had a special relay controlling the fuel pump so im not sure how that comes into play.

waste of time and effort flog it off do ecotec or buick or even 304 much much better performance.

If u isolate the EFI computer and wiring out of the VK loom, then u don't have to swap the dash over or anything. That's what I done when putting an EFI 202 into one of our VH's, it was just an extra loom that I patched in, wasn;t to hard. Chucked a manual behind that, wasn't to bad. Ya don't need to run the EST crap with the EFI dizzy either.

[hellsvk]

cheers for all the replys guys..i want to do the rb 30 conversion as i have an wrecked vl laying around aswell,but im in Wa and probs be a pain in the ass to get registered,if anyone in wa has done it,I'm all ears!

[DANNY8]

With the RB30 conversion I rekon it would be easier changing everything over. Not sure if u could rip apart the loom to make a patch loom as I'd say it's a bit more technical then the VK EFI loom.

We bought a VK which had an RB30 in it, and yeah everything seemed to be transferred over from the VL, so would of been fairly easy, just would of been fiddley changing the entire looms over and dashboards. But doing it that way most of it will fit.

Was a lot of fun driving it! Mainly coz it had a LSD under the bum lol.

[clutch]

i cant stand rb30s, they sound like garbage no matter what you do

[hellsvk]

the vk looks good,did it come rego'd? i just want the old vh to be good on fuel as i wanna keep it as a daily driver

est to efi conversions.
Ive done 1 recently and sorteded out the brown shit heap i posted about a while a go so if you have any pacific questions ask them.
unplug your exsisting engine loom at the bulkhead connector pull out the est wiring and control box put in efi loom ecu all efi related things fuel lines tank pump airflow meter.
wire in the tachco matic relay in the fuse box as it powers up the ecu and keeps it powered up via, - signal from the coil.
while the taco relay is made the ecu and feul pump are powered up (also the injectors and engine sensors get there supply through it).
theres a change or 2 needed at the bulk head connector also (from memory).
