Hi all I have just finished a rebuild on my series 3 roller motor from my ute, I have also picked up a very neat series 2 vs ss which I'm thinking might be the donor for this cranky little 304.
My question is can I simply use my series 3 wiring loom and computer and place this into the ss and yes I know I will need to use the maf,the reason fro this is I have a Nvram already in my series 3 computer which THE1 has uploaded the new bin for me so thinking it would be the best option, or am I better off getting another custom chip for the series 2 computer and using it.
Any help here guys would be great.

Re: VS series 3 into Series 2
either is totally doable... I would go for the earlier option ecu, but that's just my personal preference for tuning.
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

I don't mind going with the earlier option if its going to be better in the long run but why do you think its better.Holden202T wrote:either is totally doable... I would go for the earlier option ecu, but that's just my personal preference for tuning.
The one advantage I can see with the earlier ecu is there is no maf to deal with.

Re: VS series 3 into Series 2
yeah I prefer tuning MAP because its what I have more experience with, and also the ability to use $11P code with the earlier unit, but that said, the enhanced factory bins get the MAF ecu a lot closer to $11P than a stock bin file ....
certainly if it was going to see boost i'd go for the MAP based ecu.

If you plan on manifold change or going wild with cam/comp etc map based ecu just makes life easier later on

Thanks for the replies it looks like that maybe the best option then as later down the track a manifold change will happen and maybe some boost.
