    I,ve fitted a Vx Ecotec and Vx auto into my Vr ute, so yes the tranny will fit.
    It's a lot of work but I think it's worth it.

    I'm going mechanical TH700 from my VN with stage 2 shift kit
    VS Ecotec motor with VT Super6 injectors
    Re-tune on the VN Memcal using VN ECU
    Disabling Sequential injections
    Using a MAP sensor instead of a MAF sensor
    Should be at the 120rwkw mark

    And within 6 months' she'll have full exhaust/extractors
    130rwkw mark

    and within a year an m90 top end
    170-200rwkw mark

    Cheers

    Don't know whether you will get 120rwkw mark with just the first mods mentioned.
    manual ecotecs with exhaust, extractors, rockers and every other mod get around 125rwkw.

    Yeh true.
    I guess the ecotec heads breathe a lot better than the buick haeds, so your power isn't limited there. I initailly failed to see that you now have an ecotec motor in :bang:
    Keep us posted on the progress. If your succesful with that sort of power output i would imagine that there you would generate a fair bit of interest in ecotecs running a MAP.

    good to see you here, the ecotec should rock with the MAP sensor intsead of the MAF. there's a good reason all the LS1 guys are doing it. looking forward to hearing some ofthe results

    Hey Hozy, You'll need a lot more than 8 PSI boost to crack 200 RwKW...(266 RwHP). Ecotec pistons are the weak link...any detonation with boost and you'll blow their tops to pieces...you better budget a tough bottom end build up into the plan with forged pistons if you want the engine to last a few years ! GL with your build !

    No need for L67 injectors matt, wont be making enough power to max out the stockers.
