Single Vanos Kits

At DrVanos.com we have addressed all the well known problems related to the U.S single vanos engines and provided solutions to those problems in a complete, ready to install kit. Each vanos is fully rebuilt using custom machine work to eliminate the dreaded rattling noises, and high performance seals and O-rings are installed to restore lost power and increase the life of the unit. Our vanos units will stand up to more abuse making them ideal for track cars, race cars, and forced induction applications.

 
Stage I Kit

Stage I KitThe Stage I kit comes as a fully rebuilt vanos unit with modified bearings to eliminate the dreaded 'Vanos Rattle'. Every vanos also comes with new high performance Viton O-rings and Teflon seals installed to restore lost power and improve gas mileage... two solutions in one package! Don't settle for less than a fully rebuilt kit to solve both common vanos problems.

Price: $350.00 (includes $100 refundable deposit)

Stage II Kit

This is a great upgrade for any car that sees more than the typical daily commute, and will stand up to the abuses of Auto-x and Club Racing or Forced Induction applications.

Installation Info

We have created specialized installation documents for the Stage I and Stage II kits and offer tool kit rental as well. You can download the installation documents from the menu at the left. Instructions are in PDF format, so you will need Adobe Acrobat reader to view or print them.

Tool Kit Rental

Tool kit rental is available with the purchase of a Stage I or Stage II kit, and includes the cam alignment blocks, crank locking pin and gear turning wrench. The rental cost is $30, plus a $120 deposit.

What is a Core Charge?

The core charge allows us to send you a rebuilt vanos at a much lower price than a new unit would cost from the dealer. By sending out a complete, ready to install vanos the customer has the ability to replace their vanos as quickly as possible and then return their old vanos for the core refund. This helps to keep your downtime to a minimum so you can get back on the road without waiting for parts.

The Stage I core charge is $100 (Vanos Only)
The Stage II core charge is $100 (Vanos, 3 Cam Gears and 2 Thrust Washers)


We ask that you return your old vanos unit to us as quickly as possible. Once we receive your complete core we will immediately refund the full core charge amount back to your Paypal or credit card account.

 

Cores must be complete and in working condition to receive a full refund.

International Shipping

International shipping is available to most countries and the shipping options will be automatically available when you check out. Both standard and express options are available

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards, Paypal or Google Checkout. In addition we can take your credit card information over the phone if you prefer. Any core or tool deposit refunds will be applied back to your Paypal or credit card account for quick processing without any fees.
