Long time reader, first time poster...
(And yes, i have been searching for answers first but havnt what i am after yet).
So in summary i am doing a couple of FJ40 Landcruiser projects and will be using a Holden V8 donor engine.
One of the landcruisers will be using a VT 304 and the other will be using a HSV 195kw 304.
Now both donor engines are complete including an Auto loom and ECU. So here are my questions...
- Can a physical auto ECU be flashed/hacked/reprogrammed to work without the auto transmission? If so, is there any disadvantages in performance or reliability?
- Does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the differences between the Auto and Manual loom? (EG pin 1 = wire to connector A) I am planning on stripping the loom back to bare connectors and building the new loom from scratch while also incorporating the LPG Vapor injection wiring.
- Does anyone know the PPR type speed sensor required to work with these ECUs? I need to find one that bolts into a 60 series H55F 5 speed landcruiser gearbox and works with the VT ECU.
- I will be using the HSV headers on the VT HSV engine, but the exhaust may not flow as well as i am limited in how free flowing the exhaust can be. I will also be using a snorkle which will add some restriction to the intake, will either of these changes effect the tune?
- Finally, should i stick with a standard holden MAF tune or is it better to go a MAFLESS MAP based tune?
