Hi, Have done same engine swap into my VK. Got engineered and licensed about 6 months ago. Exhaust wise I run the try Y extractors from castle engineering which I had to modify a bit. 2 and 1/2 inch secondaries out of extractors and into a single 3 and 1/2 inch with one muffler and one resonator at the rear as per standard just larger. What…[Read more]

Hi, Could you drill and tap into the water pump near where the heater hose attaches.

I used this radiator. Three core aluminium radiator, not sure of the brand. Was for a five litre and I moved inlet and outlet fittings in radiator tanks. Inlet on top left and V6 commodore hose fits perfect. Outlet lower right and used a generic 90 degree hose.

I have used a VL master cylinder in my VK with LS engine. Master cylinder bored out to 19mm and 6 cyl VL pedal box. Works very well.

Hi. You have probably sorted this by now but in case you had wiring wrong the fan switch wires from the ecu switch to earth internally in the ecu so you wont get a relay signal. Fan relay should be wired to be switched to earth by the ecu.

That looks bloody nice. You said you used a V6 K frame. What engine mounts did you use? Is that a better option than a V8 K frame?

Hi, Nice neat tidy set up. What are the boot lid gas struts off. Are they standard on the SL/X or modified from later model or what? I have a VK which is due for paint soon and will include boot spoiler and am thinking with the spoiler on the boot the springs may not hold the boot up.

I have done LS conversion into VK. For best exhaust clearance around extractors on the right side you will need a VL to VP V8 K frame and VL steering rack if going manual steering. If using power steering VL to VP will fit. I went with the manual steering mainly so I had more room. The steering is not overly heavy. I also cut small piece off e…[Read more]

Should not be too hard. Pretty sure only 4 wires needed in the 16 pin data link connector. 12 volt power pin 16 and an earth pin 4 or 5 and the GMLAN Serial Data Bus+ pin 6 and GMLAN Serial Data Bus- pin 14.

Hi. Anybody got an opinion of how much power the VL turbo, VN V8 lsd borgwarner diff will handle? Have one in my VK with 31 spline axles. Just wondering if I will break it easily.
