Flash the standard tune into it and swap the motors over. You'll be fine with your bolt ons on a standard tune.

You just can't lean on them as hard. You could go a reliable 300rwkw if the tune is right. What box have you got? That's the next weakest link. Go have a chat to Joe CMS and see what he reckons. Expand you can go high 300's if the tune is right. ive been running 345rwk with the occasional 365rwk ethanol tune for ages...

Plus this is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to the better block.

I'm in a position that if it goes pop I can upgrade to a new f6 engine. but if your not, then dont risk bigger power from a ba block. you play, you pay.

What wiring harness do I need, computer etc to suit BA mk2 Expand On 15/08/2016 at 9:19 AM, ROB83R said: Does it come with the harness? I believe the pcm is different but harness same. Expand On 15/08/2016 at 9:55 AM, spud13 said: ive read I can keep my ba computer, just have to get it tuned, it would need to be tuned anyway Expand Harness is similar but slightly different due to Dual VCT. Just swap the BA Harness (assuming it's in good nick) onto the BF motor then swing it. Basically straight swap.
