Okay some details.
VX Supercharged...
It's an auto box, stock standard. At least for now.
Not to sure about the ecu, but I think it is standard with a bcm. The aircon hasn't quite been sorted but it is getting there, and will put cruise in for those longer trips as well.
I have not had much opportunity to really test it, but so far it responds wonderfully.
As for cost, the engine was around 5k and the install 4.5k .
Somehow I don't think I have finsihed making myself broke. Refurbishment could take some time.
Nothing witty to say :(
looks very nice mate, i'm jealous
if that box is stil stock then id be goin the hog on that i s it a vn gearbox where did you get the work done
Shit you got some money mate! Got any plans? And is it the VX box?
Saw this VN with a blown eco last year at the Gazzanats!! (dial up beware)
Cheers, Gaz
Stock VXbox....
Got it done by Phoneix Mechanical, Adelaide. Impressive work.
yeah gonna need more strength in that box, you gonna go a manual or all out on the auto,how much grunt do you know?
VX auto, with a VX stock blown ecotec....Somehow i don't think its gonna be a problem for a whileOriginally Posted by stockvp
After all, these transmissions were stuck behind LS1s quite happily
Cheers, Gaz
yeah ok but you wont it to last more than a while
Its not going to be a problem for a while meaning he isn't gonna have issues until hes pumpin a shitload of horsepower out, A stock V6 SC Eco isn't gonna cause the auto to start droppin cogs or anything, these boxes came out of the factory, with LS1s. The trans will happily handle a good 300kw at the fly standard, and still have a long life.

9.5k total..woah *puts hands out*.....you know sharing is caring?
Had to take out a loan. I'm going to re-do interior, and eventually repaint it instead of buying a "new" car.
thats really nice dude, something you can wake up to in the mournings and smile, and when the missus asks why your smiling, tell her it's her, but deep down you know it's the transplanted SC6 sitting in your drivway, good luck for future mods

You are a legend for sticking with your VN. Keep us updated for when you re-do the interior
