ok i have a manual v6 vn and blew the motor. Went to buy another motor and all wreckers are telling me you have to buy a manual engined vn coz the cranks are different and some other bits. The worst thing is they are rare as. So what do i do?
im pretty sure u dont need a auto engine :S maybe a memcal (but u should alreayd hav) im not 100% sure wait for some body else knows![]()
You have 2 choices, keep looking for a genuine manual v6 engine or use an auto engine with a manual flywheel adaptor. The adaptors are available from a place called the castlemaine rod shop (03) 5427 2853. The only difference from a manual engine to an auto engine is the crankshaft.
as i have posted in the forsale section man, i have a manual angine for 350 or 400 including ecu.
also i bought the adaptor to make my auto engine suit manual tranny, set me back around 300
thanks for that number vn5ltr, much appreciated.
the manual motor is faster try and get a manual motor thy go better thy have slightly better space in the internal off manual motor.
If its a series 1 Vn then yes, The crank is different.
If its a series 2 its a straight swap, Just upgrade to a series 2 and get a delco tune, You can choose a motor from a Vn series 2 -- VR series 1 Auto or manual doesnt matter, all have an 8 bolt crack, oposed to the 6 bolt crank on the VN
Just get a new 8 bolt fly wheel and away you goIF the series 1 isnt already 8 bolt, im fairly sure its 6 though.
