Go the RB25 box instead mate the 20 box wont like the torque you'd hav with the 30.

hey guys hopefully this will be of sum help cant remember wot site i found it but there is a lot of useful info in here.

Not sure wot parts will be using yet but will post wen we decide...:thumbsup: Yea it was starting to lean out after bout 4500 RMP coz of the computer, aparently they do that from factory so we have been told they lean the mixtures out above 4500 rpm b4 it hits rev limiter, thats wot we've...

Running blue top injectors, larger diametre fuel line, also fitted a malpassi rissing rate press regulator and a v6 supercharged fuel pump dont think i've mentioned those last 2 as of yet but yea hav been done a little while ago, dunno if its handling it or not but thats wot we were running lol...

OK so the rings didnt last as long as we had hoped lol they r pretty well cactus i think, pumping shyt loads of oil out the catch can. But we hav sum base power figures with shagged rings, running at 8 psi put down 150kw at wheels which isnt that gr8 realy but 800nM of torque about twice...

Well as we have discovered and had a feeling would be the case the standard ECU can't cope with anything over 14.7 psi boost, once it goes over 14.7 the engine starts knocking all the time, this happenecd after the boost controller crapped itself and turbo decided to run at a bit over 20 psi...

Just had to put a T-piece in at the oil pressure sensor and feed from there. Yea i dunno ay he always says he's gonna go get it done but doesn't get the time away from work to do so he says he is goin to test and tune i think at willowbank on tuesday so should at least hav sum times for...

The 2 wires u speak of are actually from oxygen sensor the wires coming from the coil pack you can just see them going off 2 the right of the picture theres something like 10 wires, however we didnt have to snip and lengthen any wires just cut the insulation back and it gave us enuff length to...

Could be a shagged radiator cap as i've had that happen a few times an thats all it was.

Got pics up finally... The right hand manifold was the easy one of the 2, it was a mission to get around the AC compressor on left hand side...

Im pretty sure 1.5 mm hey and yep they sure do glow red hot as does the turbo. Still havent had a chance to get to the dino shop so still no tune is running pretty sweet tho for no tune. Got some pics of the manifolds best i could do hope they are of some help. Damn it pics dont want to...

Yep she runs on premium Turbo starts spools up at about 1200RPM which is awesome, havnt actually timed it but 0-100 is a hell of a lot quicker then stock lol, i havnt realy got pics of the parts b4 installed just of the turbo realy but i am still trying to get sum pics of the manifolds and...

Sorry HIROLLA but havnt had a chance to get sum decent photos of the manifolds and that for ya yet but as soon as i do will post them up for sure...Unfortunately no dyno figures yet as havnt been able to have the time of work to get the car to the dyno shop, an as for the air flow sensor it is...

Yeah true but its my bro's car and he didnt tell me bout the plugs being a prob till after he'd already put the new ones in lol, if it were me would've just re-gapped em as u say...:)

The dude at the exhaust shop got them from his supplier. Im sure any exhaust shop should be able to order some in no worries. Hopefully the dyno tune will happen this weekend, will post results wen i get them :thumbsup:

O yeah, my brother being as impatient as he is wound the boost up to 10 psi today lol, see how it goes hey. Also got pulled over by the cops already today after givin it a boot full lol only got a warning bout the noise an told to put the rest of the exhaust on it an to put a muffler on it also...

Not sure on the price of the manifolds but for the whole exhaust and manifolds and also cooler piping all in stainless cost $2000 as it was the first time Joel at "South Tweed Mufflers" had done a VT Turbo an was keen as to see it done. Thats wot i thought hey would b bout 220 240 but asked...

Very pleased with the outcome at this stage. The build took about 2 weeks not rushing things. The ecotecs have a pretty strong bottom end on them everyone we spoke to about it hav said it will handle 10 pound comfortably but if the eng decides to let go at any stage we will just strengthen the...

Hey there, just finished putting a turbo on my bros VT acclaim, we ran with the absolute stock engine running standard comp. ratio of 9.4:1, upraded the fuel delivery line to 3/8" upgraded injectors to TR magna bosch blue tops of 600cc, and a standard ecu with an upgrade chip how eva gettin...

I used the auto box in mine and comlpletely snipped the speedo out of the wiring harness and it has no worries wot so eva doing over 100 km/h, wasnt game to go any faster coz it got no doors or windscreen lol

Yeah you need to use the rear section of a VK V8 tail shaft as it has the bigger uni's and cv joint and will bolt up to the vn shaft where as the 6 cylinders are a smaller cv joint and uni's...

The adjustable strut tops you hav mentioned sounds like a good idea, i shall look into that.:thumbsup:

I had a little help form my brother as he works for a tyre shop an does wheel alignments so he knows how to set the castor rite with the offset of the top plate. But is all that was needed was the modification of the VR/VS top plate cut down to the same size as the VB-VP top plate and 3 new...

It can be done with a bit of modification. Tyres still fit inside the guards as i have pumped them out a tad. I also fitted the VR diff an fits nicely with slightly pumped guards.

Yeah man nice work hey, i cant wait to c wot my VB will go like when i finish the conversion just a radiator needed cant afford one atm tho:thumbsup:

Hey, i've done the V6 conversion myself and for a tail shaft you will need to get a V8 tail shaft but depending on wot diff you use also, if you run the standard salisbury diff that is in the VH's you will need a V8 tail shaft from a VB-VK V8 but if you plan on useing a borg warner diff for...

hey guys, i've got a vb that i boted up a vr s/wagon diff after modifying the shock mounts and pumping the gaurds out also i have modified the vr front struts to bolt up to my excisting strut towers and vr FE2 brakes, controll arms an sway bars used aswell also coverted to a v6 installed power...

Hey mate, your best bet would be to aquire a manual wiring loom, no cutting of wires required just plug in an your away.

I think i may have solved the issue. I was looking at the wrong end of the wiring harness. As for the plug that i was enquiring about it goes to the auto box and shifter and goes to power through the igniton and tacho.

Im after the diagram for series 1 VN V6 and if it helps any its an S Pack...Cheers

I've converted my VB into a V6 and was wondering if anyone knows which wires are which for the connector that goes from the engine wiring loom up under the dash to the instrument panel and ignition, the wires in question are (Ignition, starter, tacho,temp,oil pressure and alternator) I just need...

Hey Dude, my bro had exactly the same prob with his VR. We're pretty sure the problem is internally in the gearbox as we tried a different computer and made no differece.This problem is caused from donig Reversety Firsties, this puts a great deal of strain the auto and will possibly require the...
