vb, vl, vk meh all the same commonwhore really lol.

probably easiest just to get a whole vl subframe and bolt that in assuming it will.. Save yourself a lot of wiring hassle by getting an aftermarket ecu too like a microtech.

havent seen any vks with the rb engine, not saying it hasnt been done,

the k frame from a vl should fit straight under the vk, even a vn k frame will will fit the vl and vice versa,

you will have to remeber the rb was shoe horned into the vl so maybe could be tight squeeze

Why wouldn't you just consider a VL Turbo?
Better brakes, Better running gear, and a better looking car. ;)

A mate had a VK with a VL motor, ill ask how much hassle it was (i would imagine it would be pretty easy)

IF anything you'd have to change or adjust engine mounts.

and i agree with INFLYT that the VL turbo's are much better

the k frame out of a vl will fit vk but run the vk rack
