The ECU is totally different, no auto commands or cam angle sensor needed. So you are better off getting a VN - VR manual engine loom for the engine and equivalent ECU.

You will not be able to run the current VR auto ECU!

you can run the auto ecu with all the error codes turned off and get away with it .sometimes get the odd stalling issue when pulling up to a stop which you can stop by turning the idle screw up a bit.but its best to fit a manual ecu which for vr is near impossible to find so you use a vn ecu and loom instead then the ecu will have a speed sensor input and makes it much happier
