vts head of a vtr?

[VTR_paddy]

oky doke, i did have a look to see if this question had been asked in the search options but couldnt find anything of help, so i thought id ask. is it possible to put a vts head on a vtr, and is it worth it? i know you wouldnt have the vts gearbox so it would be as quick as a vts wondered what you recon? cheers

[Mr_suv]

nope! unless you are a wizard, its just not worth the hassle, whereas you can get a vts lump for 200 quid and wack that in

can be done but for the amount of work involved it's pointless, and more cost effective just to buy a vts engine.

[VTR_paddy]

can a vts engine be used with a vtr gearbox, or am is it worth just getting the whole lot?

[3cott]

yeah man there the same box

[KamRacing]

the only reason to do it is for racing regulations where you have to retain the original block. Certainly can be done but when most can just drop in a 16v engine there is no point :y:

i thought the vts gearbox had different gear ratio's for 1st and second

[Sean]

yeah man there the same box


no they're not, both have the same gearset but different final drive. Putting a vtr gearbox in a vts will slow you down, and vice versa with fitting a vts gearbox to a vtr improving acceleration slightly.
