Hi all i have put the v6 conversion wiring loom in my car the trouble is the car wont turn over there is power to starter motor and alternator power to fuse box but no power to dash the v6 loom comes in two parts which are under bonnet and under dash loom i have power to under bonnet but no power to under dash anyone had this problem using v6 conversion loom  >:( >:( thanks Gary.

Hi rigger45 I went up to the exhaust place and brought two pieces of round pipe one the size of the outlet on the radiator which is a small outlet the other piece that fits the engine hose is bigger the guy at the exhaust center shrank the bigger pipe to fit the smaller pipe and i mig welded the two together. I brought a bottom hose for a holden Astra  it is shape like a S which is the same size as a early holden hose. I cut the hose so it looked like a L shape one end fits the bottom radiator outlet  and the other end fits the small end of the tube. I had a flexible hose the fitted between the other end of the pipe and onto the engine. The pipe is about 300ml long. I will put a photo up soon i hope this helps. Cheers Gazza.         

Hi all i am going to see my local radiator guy tomorrow and see what he says. Cheers Gazza.

Hi all can anybody help please. When i put the vr v6 commodore engine in my fc and i am using original radiator what bottom radiator hose do i need to use. If possible i don't want to use a custom radiator. Do i have to have the bottom hose outlet move to the right hand side if so what would cost roughly be.Thanks Gazza.     

Hi steve have you rang Hydro-boost.Cheers Gary.

G;day all.Thanks NES and Neal once i know the right size i will buy the hole saw and drill the hole ;D cheers Gary.

It looks like it is a horn from a FX-FJ holden.cheers Gazza.

why is the autoelec telling me i dont need anything else and someone else says i need more loom >:(Thanks Gary.

Hi all.I spoke to a autoelec today and he said to use the loom and computer from a vn-vp  and i dont need anything else. >:(.So why do i need the v6 conversion under bonnet and under dash loom :(Thanks losing the plot Gary.

Hi to all.rang pat Gardner today and cancelled the loom.He told me i needed to have his BCM as well.$700.00 is a bit much to pay for.  >:( >:(Dont know what i am going to do now about the wiring.Thanks Gary.

Hi to all there is a guy on ebay who is selling memcals with out VATS for $75.00.Might go with that.Or should i stay away from ebay.He goes under the  name of trx100.Anybody heard of him.Thanks Gary.

Hi to all Dr Terry Neil.I rang v6 conversion and order the loom that was needed.I did not  buy the BCM Which was going to cost $300.00.I will take the computer to a autoelect. to see if he can do the VATS. Or do i have to take it to someone else.I like the look of the later model engine they look better than the early commodore engines.The only reason why i used the vr is because i brought the car cheap.Thanks for the advice guys.Thanks Gary.

Hi all thanks for you input Neil.I had to hack at the firewall to get the loom to go thru the firewall.I rang pat at v6 conversions today and i need the under bonnet and under dash loom.The price was around $370.00.He also told me i need a bcm module as well which runs the vats vehicle anti-theft system which is another $300.00  :o It connects to the computer to disable the vats.thanks Gary.

spoke to autoelec and he said i don't need all of the loom to wire the v6 into my car.I only need the computer side of the loom and wire it in.does anybody know how it is done.thanks Gary.

Hi all i am having problems getting the main fuses thru the hole in the firewall.any ideas >:(Thanks gary.
