S2 engine in vn

[PORTAVNT5]

Hey i'm thinking bout rebuilding a s2 vn or vp engine to put into my vn, at the moment it has a series 1 engine and just after some info on wat parts I'll need to do the conversion?? As far as I know I need the engine with accessories, radiator, not sure if I need a s2 computer or not?? And will my s1 t5 gearbox bolt up to the vp engine? Any other things I might need or tips for the conversion would be greatly appreciated
cheers

Gearbox wise you will need a flywheel with 8 bolts off a S2 onwards, S1 only had 6. Other then that gearbox should be fine the computers will be orite to my understanding.

S2 engines have a different cooling system with the thermostat at the front of the engine and a radiator with a cap. Not sure if you can use the S1 radiator with some mods or need to use a S2 one?

Why not rebuild your S1 engine?

You'll need the tune out of the S2 motor.

They're different cams, so they're tuned slightly different.

hey mate, i've done this conversion, running a rebuilt head and cammed vp sII v6. as above you will need different heater and radiator piping and you will also need a new radiator with the pressure cap on it, I wrecked a vp sII calais so i had most parts so i may suggest going to a wreckers for all the piping and buy a new radiator, tune wise just get a sv3800 chip or pay an for a tune. you may need to also get a fuel pressure reg pre fuel rail.

Thanks heaps for the info want to hav a second engine to build n just thought I might upgrade to the 8 bolt main, but probli not worth the work, considering I already have a small cam installed, thanks guys
