i tried to fit a VR V6 BT1 ECU to my STD VR and the loom plugs have different location lugs so you cant plug it in but looks as if they get filled down they will plug in they are both the long style auto ECUs if any one can help

The BT1 PCM has RF shielding for both the ECM and the plugs but as far as I know the wiring is all the same. The wiring diagram book I have has no reference to BT1, either thats in a BT1 supplement or they are the same so not included.

sevice number for the VR BT1 16195699 and the memcal code is BLCH ..... 3.8 l auto PCM .. metal plugs ,,, i had a BT1 VS and fitted a STOCK ECU once and the plugs were different but becouse the plastic plugs on the ecu have some give in them i jammed them in and it worked fine but this is a VR and the metal plugs got no give i was wanting to be 100% it would work before i ground the stock loom plugs down ,,

the plugs will go in if the keys are filed off, the plugs are metallic plated as part of the RFI package.

the manual ecm is in a short case, always

vl400... the geocities site is no longer being updated, the original owner of that has tired of it.lol
my pages www.memcals.com have that info on them now, with some corrections. if you see any errors let me know so i can fix them.

cheers rob

See this thread for a V6 wiring diagram .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... 37&start=0 or this for a VS V8 which is fairly similar .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... 38&start=0
