ok im toying with the idea of pulling the running gear from my eb1 5.0 sedan and putting it in my eb2 6 cyl wagon (who hoo then ill have 2 v8 wagons) has anyone converted a 6cyl to v8 in eb before ive done s**t of xy/xe ect but never a efi,but seeing i have the 2 cars surely it cant be hard,so can any one see any hick ups,the only thing i can think of is the eb2 computer runs the auto aswell but the eb1 auto has a stand alone computer???not sure thought i read it somewhere.so what will i need to do elecs wise??? coz a mock xr6 wagons kinda cool but a mock xr8 wagon is very cool in my eyes lol,ive got a hoist ect and workshop thats no probs,just a bit scared of the electrics lol

is the EB2 pre-smartlock? if it's not, you will need to some how wire up the engine loom side of smartlock. (should be easy) All E-series V8's have a stand alone computer for the transmission. It was only the I6's that got them built into the ECU.

{USERNAME} wrote: well yeah i think it is it hasnt got a smartlock flashing light or remote locking thats awsome about the computer for the auto so its just a swap the ecus over,what about the speed thingo under the consule???
the speed thing is for the cruise control computer 
the EBII being pre-smartlock should make things much easier. If you use all the engine looms from the EB1, the ECU and TCM should be plug and play
and yes, the engine/ECU looms will plug into the dash loom no problems

under the dash near the pedel box. You'll see the plugs and then the loom going through the firewall
theres also the plug for the ECU which is under the left hand side of the dash

Should be pretty easy mate as you already have both cars there. As far as the electrics go, the V8 loom has a transmission control module(galvanised steel box with yellow plugs) and its located on your pdeal box. The loom for this will come out on the driver side firewall and it then goes to the passenger side to meet up with a round 10 pin plug and a 6?? pin rectangle plug and both go to the auto.
I would think that the V8 loom and the auto loom should detach from the cars loom but I cant be sure. The hardest bit will be the loom behind the dash. The rest should be straight forward. |
