A flash tuner has been tried and tested in many cars and really doesn't need to be replaced.Keep us updated on the build Edited 26/02/10 01:58 PM by BensXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would basically need a whole car to transplant it fromIm a big fan on the wolf ecu's, have been playing with them for yearsEF Falcon with a wolf ecu:WOLF3D Version 4 Dealer Tech 9.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I even need a t ecu if im doing a conversion to my xr6 or can I just utilize the stock xr ecu? If not I might grab that ecu off you bud.Stu Edited 16/03/10 10:36 AM by 383ongiggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF ECU will not work with a BA, won't talk to the BEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob82 Member 65 Member For: 19y 1m 24d Posted 17/03/10 11:39 AM Share Posted 17/03/10 11:39 AM So much missinformation here. If you go to the right tuner all you need to do is turn of the PATS(Passive anti theft system) in the ECU and it will no longer look for the body control to make sure it has a valid key.All you need is a standard BF ECU and harness and talk to Chiptorque as they have done this conversion before. A much better option than wolf and much cheaper. PM me if you need help - I know what wiring changes need to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then once your done, use the stock tune to get it up and running... then do the finaly edit tuning when its all sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
