VY ecotec in VP. Options?
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 9:47 pm
hello I am new to this forum but have lurked a few time as there is lot of good info here.
I have recently bought a low mileage VY ecotec for my VP project car, I have a few 808 ecus and I also have a police? issued VS manual PCM.Yes i know, police one is regular type with different numbers on it.
I haven't got any wiring looms yet so I am wondering what my options are? btw I have a T5 on hand for this conversion currently in my daily driver VP.
here are the criteria I would like to meet.
.Obviously the ability to work with hall effect VSS for the T5
.Retain the EV6 injectors (readily available new, faster response, higher working pressure etc...)
.Retain working existing VP air con ( noticed the VY compressor doesn't fit the engine bay)
.Lean cruise
.Do away with the EGR (as it was blocked with carbon and made a mess in the intake manifold, simplifies the exhaust)
Few other things I noticed that could complicate things if I were to use VT onwards PCM is how would the air con even work using the older air con system?
VS dual speed fan? what controls the slow speed? looks more complicated from VT onwards with the fan side of things.
I think my ideal scenario would be to use the VS manual PCM and have it recalibrate for the EV6 injector parameters, VATS disables, fit VS dual speed fan and call it done?
I would love to here the opinions from you guys.
thanks in advance,
Vlad.
