HOLDEN COMMODORE V6 3.8LTR EFI
INTO
2WD HILUX.
V6 Conversions have
developed a conversion kit to allow the fitting of the Commodore V6 EFI engine
and T700 auto or T5 manual gearbox, from VN through to VS to the 2WD Hilux petrol or diesel vehicles. There is some cutting and welding required in this
conversion in the engine mount area.
To comply with Australian
emission laws the engine must have been manufactured the same year or later than the vehicle. The engine must also have all of the
emission components connected, including the catalytic converter. The engine
must also be run on unleaded fuel or LPG.
In Australia an Engineers
report is required after the conversion has been completed. Contact your local
RTA office for a list of Engineers.
CONVERSION
INFORMATION.
The kit is designed to
allow the use of airconditioning and power steering, you use the Commodore power steering pump and the
Commodore A/C pump and adapt the lines. You use the Commodore engine mounts
with our weld on engine mount brackets and a VN gearbox rubber mount with our
bolt on gearbox mount.
You will need to obtain
the following components -
* The Commodore V6 engine
complete with the main engine wiring harness, the ECM computer and memcal. Other accessories such as the map sensor, purge canister, air cleaner & ducting, airconditioning compressor & power steering pump,
engine pipes & catalytic converter, external fuel pump & damper.
The Series One engines
have two crankshaft bolt patterns and starter motor types, the manual
transmission type and the automatic transmission type. For this reason they are
not interchangeable.
However, Series Two and
later engines have the same crankshaft so they can be converted from automatic
to manual by fitting a flywheel and changing the memcal.
This only applies to VN and VP engines, VR and later engines have different
computers and wiring looms for automatic and manual.
The standard Commodore in
tank, fuel pump cannot be used. We recommend you use an external EFI Commodore
V6/V8 pump (Ashdowns part no: 27-28753).
You can leave your
original fuel tank in place by using an EFI fuel pump and modifying the filler
neck by way of a return line and restrictor so it will only accept an UNLEADED nozzle, or you can fit a filler neck from the later model Hiulx.
The Commodore does not
have an engine driven fan and the Commodore electric fan and shroud will not
fit in the engine bay. An electric fan is required, we recommend that you use a
Davies Craig DC16 or similar.
The wiring kit we have
available covers from the VN - VS. It comes in 2 parts, the under bonnet loom
with all the relays and fuses and the under dash loom which incorporates an
engine trouble light. The wiring kit plugs into the original engine and gearbox
loom leaving only 6 wires to be tapped into your vehicles original loom, which
are - alternator light, oil light, temp light or gauge, ignition, starter & tacho.
Our speedo kit comes in 2 forms, an in line speed sensor that fits the T700 or T5 and your
original cable to suit VN - VP, or an electronic speedo from VR - VS instillations.
