Engine conversion. VY engine/gearbox and computer into WB
Engine conversion. VY engine/gearbox and computer into WB
Hi guys Im a bit new to this. Usually I toss out the factory computer and install an after market.
This time I got a VY Commodore with LS1 and auto computer etc.
So I want to transplant all this into a WB Statesman.
As far as im aware i need to bypass the security system, electronic ignition key etc.
What software/hardware can you suggest to me to achieve all this. I have done a quick search on "engine conversion" but came up withVX/VZ swap
Thanks
Bart

I found ALDL for non LS1. What do I use for LS1?
Re: Engine conversion. VY engine/gearbox and computer into W
efilive or hptuners packages includes a cable to flash the ls1 and sells for > $600
not sure how much someone would charge to turn off vats but could be $100-$200ish

If you send the PCM to me with a return postage bag included I can turn VATS off for you which will be the cost of PCM license only around $100.
PM if your interested

I found another great member here who is local, very helpful. I dont know if he wants me to mention his name but you're quite welcome to join this thread if you like mate.
I now have the VATS turned off which is fantastic!
I have pulled off the actual ignition switch off the back of the ignition barrel so i can turn the switch with a screw driver.
All seems good but the dash shows an engine error, and i know there is a air temp sensor missing from the intake.
So when I turn on the ignition like i said engine error and some sort of dash alarm, i do the final turn of the switch and the engine kicks over for about 2 seconds (Starter motor turns on for 2 seconds) the engine "almost" starts/ignites then the starter just shuts off/engine no go.
Also dash alarm shows very low fuel even though i have put a few liters in it.
Im guessing the engine error is coming from the missing air temp sensor??
I thought the switch was stuffed so I "Hot wired" it with the same result, removed the switch placed link from red/white to purple permanent and red/white to orange and engine cranks almost starts then stops as described. Any help would be great

Fuel low alarm

Re: Engine conversion. VY engine/gearbox and computer into W
The low fuel warning usually points to the dash not communicating with the pcm, (sender runs via pcm to dash) often caused by the pcm not turning on - blown fuse or a faulty pcm...
The pictures you posted show no engine light indicating no response from pcm,
Hope that helps
