patrol_maverick Member 54 Member For: 12y 10m 2d Gender: Male Location: Taree NSW Posted 22/02/14 08:21 AM Share Posted 22/02/14 08:21 AM Hi, I'm about to start an engine conversion by putting a BA series 1 Barra turbo engine into my Maverick.Since it's going into an old Maverick I won't be needing the ABS, guage cluster, PATS & other control units etc.I'm after some suggestions for what would be the best/ most cost effective way to deal with the ECU.Sould I pay someone to do the work, or buy a hand held device (SCT type) and do it myself?I was thinking maybe I should get a more torquey tune, or should I just stick with the stock tune and delete the bits I don't need (PATS, ABS, etc)And what sort of cost should I expect?Thanks in advance...

It came back with fuses, relays and only a few wires to connect.I was very impressed.
