custom paintjob on strut tops plenum and fanshroud/h/balancer and sump, motor +trans transplanted from an 04 vy. pcv valve deleted=no more oil clogging up the plenum/intake. vs plenum/intake fitted(less pollution gear) polished inside of plenum, drilled breathers in rocker covers, punched out cat with new quality sports catback section, painted stock headers and y section back to cat black. more pics to come
*useful tips when you are swapping a ecotec/trans4l60e from a vt-vy into a vs*
swap the wiring loom over so it plugs into the vs body
exhaust manifold needs swapping since its wider in the later chassis
had to cut away a section of the bellhousing on one side to fit the exhaust cos the auto is wider as well
a/c compressor is different and has different fittings, also has different mounting bracket so you will have to swap all that over if you want a/c, also the idler pulleys are different sizes i think.


future mods extractors, plenum/intake spacers, big bore shiny throtttle body, polished maf and a tuned chip
