vs ecus and engines and gearboxes

[12000]

when changing the vs engine and gearbox can you keep the old vp aircon compressor and heater hoses so the aircon doesnt have to be regassed how hard is it to swap the bcm and engine harness,

and is putting the vs engine harness on to the vp harness plug and play and also while im doing that can i just run the vs gearbox harness ready for the vs gearbox later if i decide to keep the vp gearbox and change later or do i have to put the vs gearbox in at the same time.

when i go to add the vs gearbox later can i just unplug the vp computer and plug the vs computer in place.

if im still not sure would yous sugest i go to the wreckers and get both the vp and vs full wiring, ECUs, vs engine and transmission so i can test it all before putting it into the car.

if i kept the vp gearbox for a while where would i have to attach the kick down cable to.

i look foward to your reply

I wouldnt think the engine harnesses would be compatible as the vs has sequential injection and the vp doesnt. You would be better off either running the full vp harness (with the injectors firing all at once) and using a vp box or running a full vs harness (with sequential injection) and vs box

so do you mean run full vs car loom or just full vs engine and gearbox loom and ecu and how do i connect the kick down cable and did you say the vp engine harness suits the vs engine if i keep the vp box

The best way would be to change everything over, engine, box, loom, ECU. But I cant see any problems with running the vs engine on a vp loom with vp box, provided you can find a way to hook up the kickdown cable. The air temp sensor would be redundant and the CAS might be different.



If someone here has actually done this before they might be able to give more specific info.

see hozy's thread about eco into VN, same as the VP really
