It is in a pretty dirty state, but we will be cleaning it up. The internals, however, look spotless (from what we can see through the oil top-up inlet. The oil on the dipstick was also looking clean.
In terms of modifications, we will be leaving it fairly standard, except for a piggy back computer, and an exhaust fitted to existing headers.
Additional modifications (inlet manifold, heads, cams and branch will be considered later.
So, next steps for this baby are:
- Full clean
- Remove superfluous bits and pieces
- Sort out vacuum pipes and crossflow
- New wiring harnesses
- Smartronics Engine Management System
- Benchmark VR30 in current state on dyno
- Remove VR30
- Adjust sump using sump from existing VR30 motor
- Flywheel and gearbox modifications
- Install VR30DETT
- Benchmark VR30DETT on dyno
- Dynatune VR30DETT with Smartronix ECU
- Put it on the road
I am hoping this will be complete by mid-September, but let’s see.
