Has anyone setup the electric astra power steering pump yet? Is it compatible with vn p/s rack?

yup, but is it needed with an aftermarket ecu…

Does an after market ECU prevent the need to swap reluctor wheels and the lingelfelter converter? (so i can run cable throttle on an ls3)

thx for the replies, I’ve decided ill be hunting around for someone elses unfinished LS commo project and commit to the swap for the vn if something comes up

Not being able to do the work myself, starting the conversion from scratch with new/near new parts is going to cost at least 17g after everything is done including all the little things we…[Read more]

any updates?

Whats needed to get the speedo and tacho working right again?

Got to keep the Air-con boys. Seems shabby to get rid of it on nice looking & running cars

what was involved in putting in the VZ booster?

Coil pack is in the way of the booster and has to be moved & mounted on the pack in front of it

looks like a backyard job to me, and doing it won’t let me fit the LS1 engine cover

i might change my mind last minute because of the cost involved.

SA mate. Im not spending thousands on the same type of engine, especially when it won’t be modded. Im doing this instead of wasting more on getting a 355 holden, which the T5 will just die with. May aswell go LS1, and get something so much better.

I did the brakes a few years ago, 320mm or something close. Suspension is bilstein, front…[Read more]

Perfect. I’ll use these with the tuff mounts

na, no engineering, dont have time for that BS.

however i did do a brake/suspension upgrade already to handle the increase.

Where do I go for the pacemaker headers youve mentioned?

And were the tuff mounts from velocity auto?

Thanks for clarifying the astra pump issue, its going to make a world of difference and room in the bay… is there a particular model I need… they seem to be around the 200 – 300 mark on ebay…
