    Hmmm you may need to use a VR speedo in your VL cluster, but i'm just guessing here it may not work/fit.

    why r u dropping a vn engine into a vl? the rb30 has much more potential n the vn series 1 engine didnt have that much of a good reputation, but i spoze it is an automatic power increase.

    you certainly do not need a VR speedo lol.
    there is an adaptor you can buy which makes the older speedo work with the electronic output. Not entirely sure where you get it but ill see what i can find for you.

    dude not worth the trouble of putting it in......and its been done many times before with no great power outputs or averall reliablity.....and y change the engine when with a few easy mods the n/a rb30 will have more power and the rb30 is a much beter platform for power

    Why not go a RB30et or an injected V8??

    You would get alot more performance wise.
