vr v6 heads

[vrboi]

hey guys i just saw on another thread you can put ecotec heads onto a old school vr v6 i jut wanna know if there is any truth to this the other thing is i was quoted 1600 dollars for a fully adjustable computer for this engine i wanna know if there is any cheaper option ( fully adjustable )

[delcowizzid]

yip the ecu you have is fully adjustable with the right tools.

ecotech ehads on a vr hmm i has ideas

[Andrew426]

If Im right in my thinking, if the Ecotec heads will bolt up to a series 2 buick, that means the intake manifold should bolt on top with the VS heads, right? Anyone keen to try it?

[delcowizzid]

well the deck height is different for a start im sure that will make fitting the manifold difficult in stock form

[Andrew426]

Good point. Didnt expect it to be that easy.

Cam will have to be changed too as the valves are in a different location. Also I think there is a difference in the water jackets as well.

yeah i thought as much my bro is a mechanic he just laughed at me and said to just go and buy an ecotec lol the ecu i was quoted on was a haltec i have een looking around but it is either this or get a piggyback chip any ideas

[delcowizzid]

if you buy a willem eprom programmer $45 on ebay or an ostrich emulator from moates.net you can tune the ecu you have allready and it will be better than most aftermarket ecu's out there as it allready has all the cold start and stuff done and will save on lots of tuning

get a foam tune, seriously..... will save you a shitloaaaaaaaaaaad!

(because the stock ecu is apparently pretty good on the tuning side for a stock ecu)
