L67 Conversion

[FstStig]

Hey Guys,

Considering I will be able to go for my blacks in a few weeks, It's time to start doing the Forced Induction. I have decided to go with the L67 as it's the cheapest and easiest option for me atm. It will be getting placed into my VR Calais. As far as I know the only thing I will need in order to complete the Conversion is the Following

L67 Motor
L67 Gearbox
Wiring harness
ECU

Is there anything else that I will need?

Thanks in advance.

fuel pump, either walbro or genuine VS L67 pumps will do

Apparently Genuine Vs L67 pumps are no longer availible?, im curious as i will buy one if they still about else i would go a walbro.

YOu will also need:
A deep pocket

Yep! As far as im told, I bought the last new one lol. I know CAPA had a few a short while back that had done minimal use in bench testing etc so they may have them still?
To the OP, if you cant find a good second hand one then yes your best bet would be to go with a walbro equivalent.
If your current auto is good then you wont NEED an L67 box. All that is different is the higher stall (2600rpm as compared to 1800rpm) and the flexplate uses a different external balance.
Also little things to be aware of like exhaust which won't bolt straight up. For example, you'll need to use a vs drivers side exhaust manifold (assuming you wont use an aftermarket set of header pipes) as the vt-vy version is different.

also will need

VS passengers side engine/AC compressor mount.
VS High Pressure Power Steering Line
VS Power Steering Reservoir
VS Throttle Cable
Top Radiator Hose
Heater Lines


Thats the major parts I can think of.

Thanks guys, I will be getting all the accessories with the motor so no biggie. Also I wouldn't of thought a vr gearbox would bolt up to an l67? Yeah I know I will have to say goodbye to my extractors, but will get some more a bit later down the track

Budget 2.7k roughly for an L67 complete. Look up 4BLOK on ebay.

Saw one for 1500 on ebay a few days ago

Have got a few commodore only wreckers around my area, one have said everything for $2500 (That's including the gearbox) thought was rather good. Going to look around and see if I can get anything a bit cheaper

After id been trolling around for ages and picked a wrecked XU6 VT for $2400, complete and driving. Just keep looking and youll find the right one at the right price.
