here is a link to a site with the wiring diagram. never found a swap site sorry. my setup uses a standalone ECU. OEM swap should be easy with wiring diagram.

Do a search on the VL Commodore Turbo, those engines ruled in the late 80's in the Aussie Holdens and still are very popular so there should be plenty of knowledge out there on the electronics

I just found this site

i Used to own an 86 300zx turbo. The engine was the most reliable thing ever.

Overreved, over heated, over abused, over boosted, ran lean a few times with too much boost.

And still the VG30ET hung in there like a champ and always ran the same. From biggining to the time the car was totaled by a dumb lady. Engine was sold and put into another z and its still going around. LOL

i love me some vg30's 400hp+ stock internals all day!


ANyways. Im more curious on bolting the engine and tranny in. ANd it it clears the hood. WIring and geting it to run would be really easy.
