I got offered a 5ltr out of a vr stato 215" + 6spd manual gear box, low 100,000 k's, for cheap.

Reckon its worth putting it in my vs berlina v6 automatic? lol......

If so How much you reckon labor costs would be? if i was going to pay someone....

[Fonzie]

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard engine and transmission conversions are far from worth it if you can't do it yourself...

[bigmicky22]

dont forget you still need tail shaft diff exhaust kframe which all adds up

[pillzor]

how cheap was it offered?

[Cobez]

BUY IT!!!!

If you get the kframe etc, it's pretty straight forward. You will need a 5 litre loom, ECU etc as well. Whoever is selling it to you, make them give you it all.

215 kW was the stroked 5.7 yes?

[w3bstr]

Simmons001: all i kno is that it was out of a vr senator, sorry i said stato earlier..

Edit: doesnt 215i mean cubic inches and not kw's? Its full stoke btw.

Pillzor: cheap and in like $1000.... even.

Fonzie: I could do it myself but honestly cbf, i blew my first ecotec a few months back and took out and put another ecotec back in. was chaos enough, i kno it seems straight forward but there are always hicups.

Bigmicky22: what do you mean by diff by the way? as in from 25 spline to 28?

Nah man...not at all. The 215i tag is for the engines output in kw - so it has 215kw@ the engine. The "i" part means injected, as far as i know, thats what i've always known it to be. Same stands for the lesser 185i V8's too, they pump 185kw@ the engine.

[w3bstr]

ah k. fair enough.

[VRSS]

buy a VH SL/E or a VK calais or something older that'd be tough!! SIGMA? haha...

[-ToM-]

215i and 6 speed for $1000? youd have to be mad not to get it. Bargain of the year
