Default XR6 Heads

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
