hey guys had a few questions im curious about dropping a efi 304 into my vl 6 now the questions i have is my car is a manual but the nissan manual mx5 will a T5 fit in my trans tunnel next will i need a custom transmission mount made can i use the standard cast exhaust manifolds how hard is the basic wiring to do. just do get the car running

heres a bit of info for anyone doing the conversion; incase anyone was thinking of buying the CRS X-member to fit a turbo 350/400 into a VL keep this in mind. you will need to modify it to clear the chassis rail ; i bought the above yrs ago, but apparently you can use the standard trimatic xmember? not sure how true that is though. ive seen alot of ppl ask about where you need to 'massage' the tunnel to clear the larger turbo XXX auto's. i have a turbo 350 so this may differ to the 400/700's. here are the areas that need some bashing! this part doesnt hit but is Very close! i have used PH5700 (larger pipes) headers from Pacemaker, they say these dont fit VL. The only reason why they wouldnt fit is if you are running power stearing. Just for the hell of it i tried fitting them with a power steering rack in and there is No Way they will fit! chucked in my manual steering rack and clears fine. see pics for rack differences; obvious space difference! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

so what do u do when u finish the conversion..... go tell vicroads / Rta that u have another engine in it... what do they ask for when u give them the engine numbers?? when i asked them about a friend seizing his engine and having to put another one in, they said all they need is a reciept from where you got the engine with the numbers on it and all is fine, they put it in their system.. but i didnt ask em what if u go from a 6cylinder turbo/non turbz to a 5ltr....?? what will happen? what will u need to do?

Youll need the receipt and they will ask who installed it. If its you just tell them that. Depending on who checks they will just check engine number while the smarter inspector will check all of the things you're supposed to have like cats and emission gear.

just tell them that you put the motor from your vp in it, just be upfront with them and you will be fine!

not sure how 2 post pics,.. theres a brass regulator at the front of the manifold where the cover sits on the drivers side, it has a large heater hose that goes to it, then at the bottom of the reg theres like a 4mm outlet for a hose... where is that hose meant to go??

http://s688.photobucket.com/albums/v...nt=whatthe.jpg (http://s688.photobucket.com/albums/vv243/korayzi/?action=view¤t=whatthe.jpg) this is the heater control valve, theres meant to be a vaccum line off that but where is it meant to go now? some early pics of the conversion of mine can be found here. i'll put some new ones up soon with the finished product http://s688.photobucket.com/albums/vv243/korayzi/

hey mate don't worry about trying to hook a vacuum line onto the heater plunger valve thing just put a joiner piece between the 2 pipes cause the heater system is controlled inside under the dash through the heater coil. just went through it on my project.

( for anybody who wants to know) and here is some pics of where i hid the charcoal canister..... he is a couple of pics of the almost finished project of mine.......just incase anybody wanted to see it............ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice conversion, yeah i have a whole vn berlina 5 litre too get the k frame brakes power steer, pritty strait forward just takes time ike everything in cars.
