dougie77 789 Posted February 3, 2017 Hey guys I'm trying to find out what I need wiring wise to make an AU V8 and auto work in a 2000 courier. First does anyone make a loom to make it work. Second what do the engine and trans need to see to make them work properly Cheers 1 SLO247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 6,650 Posted February 4, 2017 Au 5.0 uses the engine ecu to control the transfer so you don't need a separate trans controller like E-series 5.0 do, you'll want an engine bay loom with the fuse box also having the dash loom can't hurt you'll want a j3 chip to turn off smartlock or smartshield depending on the year of the ecu 1 dougie77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Denis B 0 Posted September 12, 2021 Thom You seem to be the person to ask about AU 5 litre V8, I am currently fitting this motor from 2000 Fairlane to a Porsche 4 speed transaxle to install into a GT40 replica I have pretty much worked out all the connections except ECU pins 15 and 16 which on all wiring diagrams I have found so far say BUS + and BUS - but I have not been able to find anybody to advise me what these are. I am hoping you can help Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
