I recently scored a VS Executive for $800 complete.
Car has done 130,000 K's and owned from brand new by a friends parents.
The car has been in a front end accident and wasnt insured so his olds just want a bit of cash out of it. Motor etc is fine (no accident damage).
My VP SII engine is shagged. It broke a pushrod over a year ago and now when I get her warm (over half) the engine misses like a b*st*rd due to a dodgy valve/guide.
I was going to fit the Ecotec, computer and box into my VP, but after some reading I dont know wether its worth it now.
I am guessing that ideally I would need to fit the VS dash and cluster into my VP to get everything working correctly?
I read somewhere that the ecotec's had a lean cruise mode in the computer which is partly why they get better fuel economy. I would like to have this feature if I do the conversion.
Any ideas on how to get it all going properly ?
Maybe get an Eeprom flasher and flash my standard VP Calais memcal with a VS one ?
Sorry I have probably missed something in previous posts/threads. Its late and I pick up the VS tomorrow so want to be armed with the necessary info before I waste my time.
