Vr v8 with th400

Post by Wade »

Hi guys looking for some help with my vr commodore. Not sure on what computer to use or say 11p or 12p. I've got a 424 and a 305. Currently the cars running a mild efi 5 litre, crane 284 cam and a th400 auto. I've got a manual wiring loom in it at the moment and a spare auto loom. I'm just looking at what's needed to start this thing up and run the cam in

VL400 once mentioned he had thought of adding a flag fkr a manual trans option one day.
I have a stock 11P bin with all necessary auto functions flagged,l checked by VL400. It's also in a thread somewhere here to.

I'd rather run the 11p ose as I'm more familiar with it. If you could help me out with what I need to do that would be much appreciated. Also I'm running an ls1/6 fast throttle body. I was going to make up an adaptor for the stock efi 304 throttle position sensor to fit, as last time I was running a stock ls1 throttle body and tps and it kept throwing tps errors. Can I reconfigure anything to be able to run the stock ls1 tps on the 5 litre so it's reading properly?

no, but that is not really required. in a VR, if you use a th700 or t5, you can run the VSS direct to the speedo on the dash and not even use the PCM.
thats how 90% of the VR auto > t5 conversions do it without having to put a manaul loom in the car.
