Just wondering if anyone knows exactly what wires need to be bridged ect to trick the auto loom and ecu to thinking its a manual for a AU? or is it the same as EF/EL?
Done a few searches and could find anything for au's any help appreciated.

You need to use resistors, and if you dont get the right resistance you will get problems.
I would recommend getting a Manual ECU and you will not get any problems. I think Ash cook has one you can use, shoot him a PM. |

you can use the auto ecu it will be fine.
Lookup Troymans posts/thread as hes got all the info there that i gave him on this topic... |

I dont believe that the AU wiring is the same as EF EL. I still say get a AU manual ECU, surely you can find one around for around $150. I have seen too many instances on here with people having problems using the auto ECU with resistor trick.

im pretty sure the manual trick only works for the e series as the au series ecu learns around it

While we're on the subject, will a manual XR8 ECU(S1, S2, S3???) work on my ghia if i converted to manual?
I was going to use the resistor trick as I presumed being a Ghia it controls more than what the XR8 one would(traction control, anything else??) but the posts above make me abit worried.

anyone else know where i might find a series 2 manual vct ecu? or does anyone know a good place you can get the manual program re-mapped into his existing auto ecu around the eastern suburbs melbourne and a rough cost?
cheers

i think ford should be able to reflash it to manual for you or a tuner will be able to do it

I thought the ghia ECU's have XR fuel maps already. But you want to do a manual conversion and Ghias did not come with Manual right? |

You shouldn't have any problems as long as you make sure you get the right series. And get the manual loom. |
