u-god112 New Member 2 Member For: 6y 8m 17d Posted 27/07/18 01:52 AM Share Posted 27/07/18 01:52 AM Hi guys, new here. I'm doing a FG long block into BA conversion also a t5 to t56. The engine harness is for a ZF 6 speed auto, but my BA ECU is tuned for a t5 manual. Will it be okay to run with the automatic connections taped up? Or will the Canbus wiring cause trouble?

I think you need to do something about the reverse switch too to prevent issues but you'd need to double check on that. There are a few dudes on here that will be able to chime in with a bit more detail. There is a fair bit of conversion info on the hp tuners site.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,402 Member For: 17y 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/07/18 03:25 AM Share Posted 27/07/18 03:25 AM talk about a convoluted way to get it working... I doubt that a ZF loom will work with a T56 or a BA ECU. Best to get matching hardware, where possible.

Going to run the lockout off a relay and break switch. Do you guys know where abouts the connector is for the inhibitor switch, the one the other side of the ECU?
