VT 5L into a VR

[Adrian's Vr]

Hey all, buying a vt ss, taking the 5L and everything for my conversion, I done brakes, tank, and pump already, so what will I need for the conversion, I know the obvious ones, ecu, loom, auto tailshaft, do I need the bcm? And anything else needed? I'm aware of the ignition module too

It will be easier to use a VR V8 ecu and loom as it will plug and play. Using the VT ecu will take a lot of extra work to integrate into the VR wiring.

Will vr/vs loom plug in the vt 5L perfectly tho because the vt has a different firing order

1-2-7-8-4-5-6-3 I thought the firing order hadn't change since 308?
VT will have Sequential injection what the other sensor in the distributor does tells it when to fire number one injector, the ecu location is why a vr loom will be easier

Wont a VR ecu turn it back into a batch injector fire 304? Not ideal.

I think that I could live with that small problem verses the nightmare of trying to graft in a VT ecu and get it working myself. I know it would cost thousands extra for an auto elecy to do it.

If I was going to the trouble of all that work to wire up a VT ecu, I would definately be going LS1 as the modified looms and programmed ECU's are available off the shelf.

After you change all different things of vt to vr or tried making it all work you'd wished you got vt-vy ls donor car instead.

vr-vs 304 donor car you'd have been sweet...vt setup is distant choice after vs s3 for a conversion

VT PCM and BCM must be linked, so presumably you need BCM from donor car

 

[gtrboyy]

Not if vats disabled...amongst all the wiring changes & vt parts that don't fit.

I got a doner vt ss
