Hi guys

This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm just about to start on a rb25det manual conversion into a vs commodore ute. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this conversion on here? I'm wanting to know what specific parts were used, like gear box mount, was a custom gearbox crossmember made? Which sump? Vl k frame etc

Thanks in advance

Taylor

Hi Taylor,

I believe you will require a vl 6 cyl subframe.

There is a power steering and non-power steering version of the sub frame( different rack mounts) available, stick with the ps version and I think the vs rack will bolt up to it.

This should allow you to bolt the engine to the sub frame with factory mounts and sump and bolt straight into the car.

I would look at a lot of vl parts (ps hoses)for the conversion as engine bays are similar .

Cheers

Luke

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
