have a S/C V6 want to put it in VN

[hispeedvp]

has anyone here done this conversion before? what are the main hurdles?

[PaRaDoX]

first up some more details would be nice! what charger is it? is it the full engine?

sorry need more info before we can help you!!

[azkwazere]

yeah bit more info... if you mean like an l67 talk to hozy... if you mean a standard buick6 then its a straight swap... if you mean a vl kinda thingo, i got no idea.

aZk.

[padrickz88]

wellll if the engine your talking about putting in hasnt been done, do it be unique....

[hispeedvp]

its a s/c V6 out of a VS statto, have been told it will drop strait inot VN is this correct?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Yeah but its not a simple drop and go. Wiring, different gearbox, computer/memcal and tune etc... Its not simple and its not cheap to have done unless you do it yourself, and you need to know what you are doing.

[greenfoam]

It's the same as the ecotec convesion but you will have to get fancy on the tune if you aren't running the entire loom and computer from the VS

[PaRaDoX]

yep thats a L67, much better off getting a adaptor plate for your buick, or getting a turbo :P all probbly the same price supercharger on buick might be a bit cheaper just less powerful than the ecotech

what if he got rid ofthe 4l60e tranny and fitted a 4l60/TH-700r4 with lockup converter. then use the VN 808 ecu with a 2bar MAP sensor and get a good tune. wire the 2 speed fuel pump to the highspeed full time etc

would work, similar to Hozy's ecotec conversion. I dont know if the L67 4l60e was strengthened at all from the standard auto? but if it wasnt i cant see how the VN 4l60 wont hold up. You will have to drill+tap the MAT sensor into the L67 intake manifold and a very very tricky tune as greenfoam suggested.

[padrickz88]

hozy has done this..... (ecotec in vn) maybe his the one to ask?

[Nikkojoe]

L67 4L60e was strengthened as far as i know.

This s/c stato didn't happen to come from pickles did it? :P

[HoZy]

Stick with your 4l60/TH700 Box and do...............
-> Kevlar bands, .51 Boost Valve, Beast Reaction Shell, Stage 2 Shift Advancer, Billet Servo Upgrade.

Will hold more than a L67 4l60e Box...

Motor... Easy conversion to do yourself, But to comlete the conversion, You will need to upgrade your front brakes, also Yes you can wire it from your Delco-808 ECU... You'll need to extend, Some injector plug wiring, OilPressureSwitch wiring, Need to replace the knock sensors with VN Knock sensors, Instead of a MAF you'll have a MAT that you'll need to TAP/Thread into the manifold of the blower base. You will need to Drill/Tap an adapter for your WaterTempSensor an use the VN Sensor...

And a few other things, But it's a 3day conversion at the most... My ecotec took 3days to put in including wiring... VN Motor took few hours to rip out..... All my time was wiring issues & gearbox problems.

[hispeedvp]

have s/c engine and gearbox, have haltech ecu, have complete wiring loom, will upgrade fuel pump, need to upgrade brakes?, the VN have the same pads as VS so what different?

[HoZy]

In vic if you upgrade to the supercharged you need to upgrade your front brakes... Already been to vicroads about this.

But...... Have fun mate! Should be sweet.

[hispeedvp]

will keep the brake issue in mind, prob should upgrade brakes regardless, PBR do a VT brake upgrade kit for VN
