all mounts and such shoud be the same, its the same basic engine with the blower on top, just check how you go for rego and insurance wise, shouldnt be an issue because the vs statesmans had a supercharged option. also the exhaust will need to be modded as the supercharged emgens use a twin cat setup and joins in to one at the back of the trans.

As far as I know. Engine, ECU, BCM matched to ECU, loom, S/C intake pipes, new exhaust. Also if you can, get a torque converter from a L67 car. I believe it is higher RPM than the L36 one.

i got a motor , gearbox, ecu, wiring and exhaust for $2000. n fitted it myself.

only other thing you'd need apart from what the others said is the fuel pump.

and can just get ya old bcm linked to new ecu.


motors usually go for $1500-$2500 on ebay usually with wiring n ecu and sometimes gearbox too.

Pretty sure the BCM/ECU linking thing was VT+. I'm gonna play devils advocate, the blocks are the same, the ports are the same, pretty sure you won't need to modify the exhaust.

i 'thought' it was just for the 2nd cat for extra flow. just cause i 'read' lol that single cat was too restrictive. but the old one would line up n it would run ok

you can just keep your normal computer and get a SC 6 tune burnt onto your memcal.
saves matching to the BCM etc.

the super 6's Ive driven go like stink when your up it. and you have to rev it. i also love the sound. clean and quite and the wine it has is gourgus.....lol no use having a loud exhaust when the super charger wine will do. also its cheep power. enlarge the pulley and it winds up the boost.
