Sonny does a lot of these.

Depends where you are? Sydney area? There are a few. Price typically $150-$200 with the crank out, to supply and fit a 24X.

The cam gear needs to be done as well.

Did you buy from Holden dealer?

I got the engine from a spare parts/surplus shop in Melbourne called Corio's Auto Parts.I live in Tamworth N.S.W.

mmm....Tamworth eh. Nice place. Any shops out there that do engine building?

There are the Bakers in Orange, but dont know if they get into LS engines.

You could try asking on www.ls1.com.au if someone out your way can pull the crank out and ship it to someone that can do the reluctor wheel like Marrannos in Croydon in Sydney.

Sonny has the Goodson tool and has done many reluctor swaps. The reluctor is a shrink fit item and requires heat to get it on and off. The Goodson tool indexes off a hole in the crank flange to make sure the reluctor is in the right place. The is another way, but this is the most reliable.

You will also need an extension harness for the cam sensor, knock sensors and MAP, and maybe a crank sensor change.

Does the VX have the fly by wire throttle, or cable throttle? Cable if i remember correctly. You will need to change the throttle body to cable, but you probably already did this.

All the best!

we weld our reluctor rings on... i dont trust anything thats just pressed on that handles that much vibration...

rsz288

Yeah have seen a few of those. Have you ever seen any that came loose or moved?

random detonation in stock vehichles is when i assume the reluctor wheel moves... happens alot on these stock lsx motors.... if it moves just a few .xxx your timing is off and it could bite you in the *** HARD.... i weld any race application...

just make sure it doesnt move when you weld it

Just 3/8" in two places with the TIG?

that would be fine... just make sure you do it before you send the stuff off to be ballanced
