Which ECU to use? - VR HSV 5.7 into VP 5L th700

Post by Duck »

I have a 5.7 (215) HSV stroker to put into VP which is currently a 5L auto th700

Wanted to keep the th700 rather than the 4l60e that was mated to the 5.7

My understanding is that the 4l60e requirements drove the need for the larger memcal

Using this logic could I get a basically stock 5.7 tune onto the VP ECU as it’s running the th700?

Or should I be using the VR ECU in the VP with tune modified for the th700?

Welcome :)

Easiest option is to run the original VP 808 with the T700 transmission and then a memcal tune to suit the 215i stroker motor.

Am I right to assume that you are in Adelaide, and would want someone (not me) to put that tune on your VP chip for you?
I'm pretty confident there will be someone close who could help.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear.

I am in Adelaide. There are not a lot of locals who still work with these.

If there is a local who could help I am listening. ;)
