No ISC as yet (very observent of you). I won't need a VCT ECU to drive the VCT mechanism, I am just going to hang it across the BBM output.
I think there is gain to be had by fitting the tickford head (HP or VCT) There is a noticable difference in the chamber from the standard head.

Find yourself a real goody sparky, the one i use has a scanner that talks to the ECU and BCM and can reprogram them. When I needed a new key for mine, Ford wanted $280 to suplly and program, $150 just to program. It ended up costing me $8 for a new key from Ebay, 18 for the locksmith to cut it and my sparky reprogrammed it for me for free  .
Given it runs from the first of the AU, i would assume it will be smartlock not sheild.

Correct, as for the ECU I am going to install it and connect it to the BBM output to see how it behaves at idle and low rpm, if OK then thats it otherwise I will add in an RPM switch to kill it again below 1800 RPM.This sounds intersting. Looking forward to the progress info. BenJ If you use either the BBM output of the RPM switch does that save the hassles of integrating the AU wiring into the EF? |

Nice neat job - thumbs up for thinking outside the box. I wouldn't have thought to put the hose fittings into it! |

So all up it's fairly easy to do then - just change the heads over and then connect the VCT to the BBPM output? |

I see you are happy with the results but if you needed to fit the AU VCT PCM, you would need one with a part number of RWR2T-12A650-Dx, where x is any letter from A to D. The variation in the last letter corresponds to the flash revision level AFAIK, you can get any and they will work or can be flashed to -DD spec. This is the Smartlock, VCT, manual part no, auto's are -FA through -FE. The corresponding catch codes for the manual PCM's are WTDA through WTDD. The VCT PCM you have ATM shouid be RWR2T-12A650-NA or -NB (WTNA or WTNB) for a manual. If it's coded RWR2T-12A650-PA through -PC (WTPA through WTPC) it's for an autobox. If you have an autobox one, we need to talk!

Well the part number is WR2T-12A650-LB - any idea if it is smartlock or shield?

Will an AU VCT head fit on an EL motor? I know I'd need the head from gasket up and tappet cover down, but it would fit fine right?
