hey i recently scored big time,i got a hole vl berlina turbo for $500! yes i **** you not, the car is like 3 years out of rego and is rusted to the **** house, lucky for me everything else in it but the turbo works fine, now once i get the turbo fixed which it only needs resealing apparantly, i want to get it droped into my vl sl five speed, im gonna change my diff and all myelf but i want to get it all setup in my sl using my sl 5peed g/box until i cant afford like a rb25det box, i want to know how much it would cost to get the already rebuilt block setup in my sl?, and were i would have to go to get this done?

i hate u so much.. bargain of the century :| are u askin how much someone would charge to fit all the turbo equipment to ur car? if so, ummmmn rough estimate id say around the 1500 hundred mark, maybe?

why couldnt u drop the motor in yourself? would prob b easier than doin a diff all u gota do is unbolt the existing motor,pull it out, drop new motor in n bolt it up change ecus n wire the knock sensor up then your pretty much done y pay sum1 to do it?

*******. $500! Couldn't you hire an engine hoist, car stands and a jack and get a few mates to help you out?

What a score!!! I'd recon just get a Gregory's, engine hoist and do it yourself

yeh do it yaself. who cares if u dont know wat ur doing. the only way to learn is to do it. as frag_dog said get yaself a gregories, a hoist, and do it yaself james Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

do it yaself. if you get stuck call racq and say your car won't start Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeh i just wanted to see what it would cost as to the amount of time it will take me myself, am i gonna have much trouble setting up the rear discs???, how long do you reckon its gonna take me to convert it, and also does anyone know if the n/a and turbo looms are the same????

yeh scored or what , by the way is anyone interested in set of speedy 17" rims with ruber, they were also on the car!

i think the looms r the same apart from knock sensor but dont quote me on that

Yes n/a and turbo looms are exactly the same except for the turbo loom has 1 extra wire for the knock sensor in it.

ok does any one have a pic of where the knock sensor is located??? if you do it would be a great help, as im doin the same thing as this guy!! e-mail pic to [email removed]
