I know this page is old but I'm half way through a vr auto to manual conversion in a ute column shift to floor and I have a manual computer and half a manual engine wiring harness its cut off just before the coil packs and I was gonna colour code the wires and join them up but by looking at the auto and manual wiring diagrams they are different should I match them up to what the manual ECM way and forget colour coded way

 

[aj159]

Match them up to the manual way is, much less drama

Fantastic thread fellas! Cant wait to get it up on the hoists at work and smash this one out!

One concern I have though; how legal is this? Would a vehicle inspection centre pass it as roadworthy?

Cheers, Joel.

Edit: because I would like to have my car 100% legal, and so far the bore increase, LSD conversion and suspension rebuild are all very legal. I'd like to be able to be pulled over by the biggest ass of a cop and smile at him while he struggles to find anything wrong with my baby!

Anyone know any way to patch in on the auto loom for a 4l60e to a t56 conversion in a vu gen3


Cheers Brenton

What a you converting? To be honest a wiring is a waste of time. If you have the mechanical ability to do the conversion you can wire it yourself. Honestly its like 8 wires. Its actually easier than wiring a Head unit.

I'll be converting a series 2 v6 vr. I'm competent with all the mechanical stuff just after reading through he thread I'm still insure if the auto loom and ecu can be retained. I know the ecu will have to be remapped.

Would I be able to retain the Auto loom but use a manual ecu for a t5?
