Heres a few pics of the 1227808 vn ecu compared to the 16206305 vr v8 ecu.which can be swapped to use the highspeed aldl with the correct 8192 buad bin file very little difference apart from the missing uart chip from the 808 is in the 16206305 to allow the 8192baud aldl.and the fact it has better componants and tracks.

808 on the left 16206305 on the right heres a close-up of the 808
and heres a close-up of the 16206305

yes definatly a much higher quality PCB in the VR manual ecu as you can see in the picks the tracks look like they are lifting and have bubbled in the 808 ecu where the 305 is much nicer.and the highspeed comms is a nice bonus when logging i couldnt go back to 160 baud logging after 8192 its just so slow after using 8192 baud ecu.

So is it a straight swap (plug n play wise) to put a VR ECU into a VP?

VR manual ecu yes. vr auto ecu no cause smoke will come out

also in the tune turn off anti theft and change ppk to 1250 and you are running.

Aren't both VR manual and auto ECUs the same, just the memcal iself that is different?

Looks like Delcowizzid got somebody to take same photos for him you can actually tell what they are for a change.
Only kidding, good to get a look inside a few of these.

As far as the Auto is concerned it uses a different ECM in the VR as it is an electronic auto. The only electronics for the VN/P Auto was for the torque converter lock up I believe.

nope totally different ecu and wiring for the ecu plugs power etc goes in different pins

There goes that plan. Thanks for all your help.

Is the VR manual 16206305 the same as the VS manual 16206305, do they take the same physical memcal as the VN/VPs take?
