I have the rt142 cable in my t700 but i don't know if its stock or not, Might be worth a try ?

 

Did you find the back fire arrestor wire ?

ummmm whats that and where do i look for it???

I will have to find what colour it is, I THINK its pink and new the ecu. It just gets earthed, It stops the car back firing after its been cranking and doesn't start.

 

Also does yours have 2 oxygen sensors or one ?

i don't think i should have a problem with that wire because i only got rid of wiring that i didnt need from the dash, heater, lights etc. Anythin that wasnt involved with that is still plugged in. Umm i only noticed 1 oxy sensor. Why is that?

Just checking, Auto 1 tried to stiff me for 2 but i think VR on had 2 not VN and VP.

vn and vp only have one...and i thought vr's did too? where is the 2nd 1?

Auto 1 reckons they have one for each bank ie one on both down pipes.

doubt it...but might have

ill check 2morro

Mine has one, All the VN and VP's at the wreckers have one, Might be VS on not VR.

i don't think VS's have 2 either

infact..i don't think vn-vy have 2...not sure bout alloytechs

mine only had one OXY sensor, mine was the first VN engine. Ive heard of people adding a second sensor. now that ive had my engine out and back in I'm getting a back fire sometimes when cranking if the battery is a little low, as cranking makes the battery power drops the coils let go of their charge as if it was going to fire and causes the backfire.

Ok today we ripped the running gear out of the VP. Didnt take long but the only problem was trying to move the engine crane on the grass haha. Anyway we took the tank out too and set it all up on the ground and started the engine. Theres some footage on youtube if ya interested...

 

 

Haha thats awesome. See if you can find a pair of the steel headers, I think they came from VR's or VN's not sure but they are steel pipe and you can make custom extractors out of them. They are 3 into 1 and a little better then cast log style VP headers.

took the 3k out and dummy fit the v6 in. Need to take the tranny off and dummy the engine in again next week so i can manufacture the engine mounts

are you still planning on spraying the engine bay before you put it in?
