    VT box will not fit a VR/VS due to the bellhousing fouling the exhaust plus it will not fit a VR because it has a different number of pins in the plug. The VT box has a separate bellhousing. Do a search on this forum as it's been covered before. Probably they could be made to fit but it ain't easy and really, your best to look for a good VR box IMHO.

    Im not speaking from personal experience, but it can be done fairly easily and the VT auto is a far better box than the VR. A few bits have to be swapped and the pin modified. Give commwreck in Sydney a call, they do them all the time.

    im not sure, i know they fit into a series 2 vs. But not sure bout vr, you would probly have to get a compatible bell housing and do a few other mods. also might have a problem with ECU but not sure so dont quote me .
