==Engine Swap==

For a complete VL Turbo ([[RB30ET]]) engine swap you will need the following:

[[RB30ET]] complete engine
Original [[RB30E]] engine for parts leeching (mainly the rocker cover - who wants Holden on a Nissan engine!)
[[RB30ET]] [[ECU]] (without this the entire crusade is useless!)
The swap is a fairly simple one, the engines being almost identical.
You will have to run the knock sensor wire back to the [[ECU]] as well as change the pin for the fuel pump (pin 22).
The VLs used 2 fuel pumps both outside the tank; one for low pumping, another for high volume pumping.
The [[R31]] has 1 fuel pump inside the tank that can vary it's speed.
There are numerous explanations on how to wire up the fuel pump, some being quite complicated.
The mechanic who set mine up however 'simply swapped the pin' on the VL turbo [[ECU]] and it's worked perfectly.

Note that after the engine upgrade is done, you will need bigger brakes and an engineers certificate in order to change your registration to show correct details.  Different states have different requirements however so check first.  Note also insurance will probably be unavailable through most companies due to a modified vehicle.  (Just Car Insurance will insure almost anyone driving anything, but be prepared to pay for it!)
