Just wondering what would be involved in motor swapping at vz to a vt so a alloytec to a ecotec?? Thanks
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Thanks I have been told if I get it engineered the emissions problem won’t mater am just wanting to fix a car that I have and had that other motor sitting around us all soo I figured it can’t hurt to ask if it’s possible and the work that goes into itIm not a clued up as some others on here but such a motor swap would be possible but would require a lot of work and money but even then I dont think you would technically be able to register the vehicle as a VT ecotec engine has very different emissions to a alloytec and I'm fairly certain there is a rule about using older engines in newer cars.
You'd be better off getting VY commodore with an ecotec as it's basically the same car apart from the engine.
It is possible but you'd need the wiring, ecu, exhaust and then probably some ways to have it all talk through to the vz stuff and the cost of it would be quite a bit to get it all working.Thanks I have been told if I get it engineered the emissions problem won’t mater am just wanting to fix a car that I have and had that other motor sitting around us all soo I figured it can’t hurt to ask if it’s possible and the work that goes into it
Sorry let when I say motor it’s still in the car so I should have everything I need car wise I just don’t know what I need to do in order to make it happen ie the do I need to do the k frame and those sort of things and you are assuming money is a issue. I don’t wanna go another alloytec as I’m sick of timing chain problemsIt is possible but you'd need the wiring, ecu, exhaust and then probably some ways to have it all talk through to the vz stuff and the cost of it would be quite a bit to get it all working.
