You can use the computer, but will need the security function turned off in it.

VRs have a security function? should be fine if its a manual computer. is it the 5.7 litre engine?

nar just the 5.0l as far as i know, if its a 5.7 then well id be one happy mofo lol :P but anyway back on to the topic, yer i think its only the 5.0l m8

[stocky]

is the VN a 5 litre already? should be able to use the VN loom if you have one

Like everyone else has said, use the computer but you will need a manual memcal otherwise the 4l60e settings on the eeprom will throw an error when it detects its missing... you will also have to modify the loom for the knock sensor.

Did you know that the 185 hsv motor's are identical to the vn 165kw 5 litre other than memcal, knock sensor, airbox and minor exhaust modifications? unless your existing motor is stuffed (or the senator motor is a 215i) i would just swap over the t5.

as i said before, just use the existing VN loom

Thats not apart of the standard loom.

i dont have a 5 litre for it thats y im putting this motor in and plus its worked, the loom will be modifide anyway as its being hidden in the bay by stef (STOWLN). so what im using is the motor and box, loom and computer unless other wise, i do have a VN 5L Enginer loom here so either way im not fussed.

as long as the motor starts and runs really lol
