COMMODORE V6 3.8LTR EFI ENGINE
INTO
HOLDEN GEMINI .
V6 Conversions have developed a conversion kit that allows the instillation of the Holden Commodore V6 3.8ltr EFI to the above vehicle from VN to VX, the kit is designed to replace the original 4 cylinder motor & gearbox. The kit is designed to take the T700 or T5 gearbox.
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
This is a very simple conversion with only a slight modification to power buster mounting bracket area to obtain clearance for the cylinder head.
Our engine mount brackets utilise the original engine mount rubbers and our gearbox crossmember is a bolt in using the VN gearbox rubber 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 & 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.
You can leave your original fuel tank in place by using an external EFI fuel pump and modifying the filler neck by way of a return line and restrictor so that it will only accept an UNLEADED nozzle or you can fit a complete fuel tank from the VN Commodore.
The V6 motor does not have an engine driven fan, you can use your original radiator and fit the fan and cowling from the VR - VT or a 16" Davies Craig or similar.
The wiring kit we have available covers from the VN - VX 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 V6 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 cable to suit VN - VP, or an electronic speedo for VR - VX instillations.

[Mr DOHC]

why the fuck would you want to put it in ya vh? it wouldnt be that much greater than buying a vn/r/s/t/x!! geminis are way lighter so you can actually see and feel the difference. unless you dont care about power?

dont take none of what i said to heart either dude

fuk u would feel the difference putting it in a VH any way
200 compared to 110?

[GEm1ma has xplod gea]

i'm puttin it i my vh cause it is easier to get it engineered as it was registered as a v8 so there is no 10% power increase restriction or whatever, cause it would b way over the top trying to get it engineered in a gem thats about 30% ova the limit. if all goes well with the vh i might do a gem, but i would rather do a 2.6efi instead into it. the gem is my daily driva and the vh is my project, well the gem is 2 but i drive it round heaps but she still gets sum love and affection.
