Neo Vl

[nate33t]

I have a neo RB25 det engine out of an r34 with a manual gearbox attached. Was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to drop it into a VL commodore. I know i should be putting it in an s13 or r32 etc but i already have an r33 and me and a friend want a sleeper. Anyone know which tail shaft i can use and if the rb25 engine mounts will bold straight onto the VL cross member? Any onfo would be much appreciated.

rb30 vl engine mounts (shimed on the right hand side for break booster clearance

vn-vp auto or manuel (cant rember) gearbox crossmember (something like that)

std vl tail shaft using the yolk out of the neo,with a diffrent uni-joint to mount to the vl shaft

will need to up grade the fuel pump, need to modify the p/steering pump mounting bracket, a/c std vl bracket with washers under for spacers

throttle cable i use the std but the cable is much tighter and is wraped diffrentley and looks crap (i thnk the neo has a electric butterfly also but no idea what its for.

then the obvious computer and loom needs to be modifyed to work with the vl bodey loom for starter motor and alternator etc

(my rb25de) i changed the lower radator hose intake pape (to the motor where the thurmo stat is mounted) to the vl one as i was reusing the lower vl radator hose may also need to do that if u like.

i also used a cut lower radator hose for my top hose and the 2.5's are diffrent but u might be able to do something else

all in all there isnt much that needs to be done

also the std dump will bolt stright to the cat so no need for modification but my n/a needed the heat shilding to be moved as it hit the bodey

Thanks for the help guys, i'll keep you posted as to how i go (need to take out the rb30 first) I'll let you know if i need that guy's details Stan. (i'll probably need much hepl haha)

if you want a sleeper why put it in a VL?

[nate33t]

This VL is stockers as externally. Put it this way, when i'm in my skyline, i believe i can beat any commonwhore on the roads, which is true in most instances. The car i'm putting the rb25 DET in is a plain white VL commo. That is a sleeper, especially after i'm done with it.

mate just make sure u have mudflaps, dashmats, 15' intercepters with hub caps, nudge bar, tow ball, extra view rear vision mirrors(the ones u use with a caravan) etc.... and it will be sweet.

oh yeh i think the standard vl crossmember will bolt up to the gearbox(if its the same as the r33 gbox)

it'll be a tight fit but gl.
