Does anyone know where I can get an xr6 head for my series 1 AU Forte and rough prices, is it a straight conversion even for VCT or will I need other parts.
Thanks in advance, Joel |

No, you can't. Totally different system. You would need to change your whole motor, and ecu over to VCT.

yup, and the extra cost that would attract a VCT conversion, you can fit plenty of mods to make up for the extra kw
