VR engine loom and manual harness into VS
I've got a manual conversion from a VR to go into my VS, including manual computer, BCM and loom. The bloke who sold it to me recommended I use the manual harness, and get an auto electrician to wire it into the existing auto loom. In otherwords, use all the existing wiring/computer/BCM but just replacing the gearbox harness with the manual one.
I'm of two minds what to do, is it even possible to replace the entire loom? Since the VR was a different engine there would be different connectors, correct?
Just after some input on my best course of action. What problems am i likely to encounter?
Cheers.

i think you need the key coded to the BCM to use the VR bcm so that would be out to start with im sure.

I have the VR key that came with the BCM, but i doubt it would fit my ignition due to the cut of the key itself.

yeah.im not sure on the difference in bcm's between vr and vs but ide say it wont be pkug and play some how.you could rewire to the VR manual ecu and ditch the MAF sensor and the CAM sensor and run MAP would be a fair bit of wiring to do though.would need a different coolant sensor and an IAT sensor and would need to drill the manifold to fit it.

Lol, yeah i think i'll just use the harness. Does this mean use the harness with the manual or auto computer?

someone i know has done it with the auto ecu he just fed the new speed sensor feed into the correct terminals on the auto ecu and turned off the auto flags and has no issues.its easy to feed a few wires to the ecu

Ok. Might have to go that route. Did your mate use the harness at all or did he just make up his own sensor wiring?
Thanks mate.

More info please.. and can anyone help with a how-to wiring diagram to get speedo and revers lights etc working on an auto converted to manual?Originally Posted by delcowizzid
Its not what you know or who you know , its how well you can fake it

Rob's Creative Calibrations - Wiring Diagrams feed the speedo into the manual VSS pin soarch power from the auto loom by the box for the vss too earth it to the box. maldotcom2 might have good pics for you

You shouldnt need the BCM. The BCM will just plug in anyway the only prob you might find is if you electric windows you might have to bypass the bcm for them as they will not work properly.
You will have to modify the 2 large plugs on the engine harness that plug in near the battery, its pretty easy its just the colour coding and the plugs are different.
Got it all wired up. Didn't use the manual harness at all, just cut off the VSS and wired it separately. Gus, when you removed the auto shifter plate there would have been a plug with 4 wires, 2 the same colour and one pink and one green. The two the same colour are your park neutral sensor so just short them together. The pink and green are the reverse lights, they need to be connected to the pins on the left side of the gearbox, doesn't matter what order they go in.

Cheers for that , i'll get it done on weekend , but....What about speedo???

Speedo is operated by the vehicle speed sensor on the right of the gearbox. It has 3 wires, positive, negative and signal which goes to pin D2 on your ECU.
