Vs ute v6
Hi gang . Little info required please. I have a vs auto ute. I have fitted a complete vs ecotec statesman loom in the ute. I have obtained a s/c l67 engine and auto from a vx calais. I have also Obtained a vs statesman l67 engine loom. Now the tricky part. I have the following ecu's. I have the standard ecotec vs statesman ecu. And I have the ecu from the vx calais that the l67 and auto came from. Also have a chip marked 'vt hsv xu6 supercharged', and I purchased a mace tuned chip for stage 2 cam 69 throttle body etc. ( work that's going to get done to mine). Can I use either of those ecu's with one of these chips, or do I have to buy a vs supercharged ecu and fit chip into that.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. Tim

None of those ECUs or memcals are interchangeable. At a minimum you need to get any VS auto ECU (the Statesman one will be fine) and get a VS supercharged memcal, either the factory one or get somebody to burn you one, you can't use the VT or VX memcal. Either that or just get an entire VS S/C ECU that comes with the memcal.

Thank you very much rjk for your input. Ok... I clearly didn't mention (late night for me and tired) that the mace tuned chip was for a vs l67 with stage 2 cam and throttle body. Soooo! your saying I can use that chip in the stock standard statesman vs (ecotec) auto ECU!!!!!

Vs ute
Hi folks, I'm new to the forum, looking for tips on a conversion, i have a vs ute 3.8 ecotec/auto. I've just bought a vx s/c calais complete running car. Should i gut the loom etc from the ute and change everything from the calais?, or just change parts and ecu & modules into the ute's loom etc.

Use all the vs wiring just lengthen the wires that need doing, grab a vs L67 memcal with no vats and plug it in the vs PCM, you will need to drill and tap a hole under the thermostat housing for dash temp sender.

Cheers, that'll make it easier. My ute has no extra's except central lock, no abs, no airbags.

Do you need to drill and tap a hole ?,
As the Temp Sender on a L67, is located at the back on the left hand side, below the Thermostat Housing, [also below the blower bypass solenoid]

That sensor is for the PCM, if you want the dash one to work it requires a temp sender to be fitted.

Vs L67's had a adaptor on the back of the Lim (lower intake manifold) for the sender, Vt-Vy L67'S do not have it.
