well i used the ea belts on my au engine and it all works fine.. but im about to change mine over to serpentine belt with ef bits from a wreck. i wish i had of done it when i did mine. im finding there are issues with using my ea aircon pump with the serpentine belt because the ea/ed pump sits about 1/2 inch further back compared to the ef pump. and the belt wont line up with the ef accesories. so im either going to make a offset plate to bring the pump forward. or ill use the whole ef set up. i just have the problem above with having to change the aircon lines. |

if i was you i would just put the au engine with the el bbm manifold then use all the accesories from el or au.. you will get better performance using the el manifold and ecu.. but if you havnt got the car yet.why dont you just buy a ef or el to start with..unless you prefer the early e series? i woulnt be making to many plans untill i have the car to mod! |

i want the ed fairmont and only the ed i like the ed better.and also how do i make the ed trip computer work with the el ecu and bbm. i think you said to splice the data line in pin 34 into pin 58 but i want to fully confirm so i can make plans

as far as i know you cant make the ed trip comp work on a el ecu.
ive tried a few times and i cant seem to get it to work properly.. maybe someone else knows how to make it work with the el ecu. to do these type of mods (engine conversion/ecu wiring) you need to be able to weld and have electrical and mechanical understanding. how mechanically minded are you? if you have problems understanding electical componants and basic wiring you might be better off getting a auto electrician to do the wiring? there are some things you need to work out your self. we can offer opinions and give you some info but we cant do the conversion for you. as for getting the el ecu and bbm working there is info in this doco. http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=85 |

So is the EB 3.9 the same as the EA one or EB/ED??? cause this might be good way to get my plan back on track...

someone said slice the data line (pin 34) into pin 58 (first bank of injectors) to get the ED trip computer working fully on a el ecu. is that true. can you give me guides on tricking the el ecu to work with the ed trip computer

can i use a ed aircon pump and change the pulley and how do i clear the ef tensioner using log manifold i will buy a xh tensioner if i have to and ill confirm what i need to use for a single belt conversion using log manifold.
EF/EL/AU Harmonic Balancer EF/EL/AU Water Pump EF/EL/AU Power Steer Pump EF/EL/AU alternator EF/EL Aircon compressor XH Ute Belt/Tensioner EF/EL Radiator EL Thermo Fans also if a cars only insured for to to $4000 does accident damage only cover that amount worth of damage because what happens if you have a accident and the cars only insured for 4000 and the other car and property damage is more than 4000 does it sill cover it |

'Shonky" going by your threads, you wanna buy an ED and replace heaps of wiring & bits 'n pieces with an EF/EL/AU and it doesnt seem like you have any idea and will be more trouble than its worth..... just go buy an EF in the first place !!
And you dont even have a car yet, all the tech q's?? |

thats what ive being saying.
thats alot of work for a car he doesnt even have yet! |

so mounting an eb aircon pump to fit on an au motor with the log manifold you need the Xh brackets???
from my understanding if i get an au motor i can use the eb water pump, alternator, power steer pump can be bolted upto an AU motor from a EB preserpintime belt..... are the EA to EL Air con compressor interchangable? i don't really give a s**t with the air con as i don't have it connected (no belt) BUt with an au motor you f**k need a no no no hang on a moment you can buy belts that are shorter as some au's never came out with an air con system
