V8 conversion into a ed and wiring harnesses

[car10001 52]

hi everyone

have managed to get the nc fairlane harnesses to retain the ed dashboard when converting to v8 and had hoped that the el v8 ecu would plug in but apparently the ecu plugs are different

to make the el v8 ecu work am going to have to do following

1. use diagrams and cut off nc ecu plug and solder the nl v8 ecu plug after cutting it off the nl v8 harness leaving a bit of wire on it.

2. use full nl v8 harnesses and bcm but change plugs to make the ed dashboard and interior work and solder in smartlock module plug to use as a central locking module and change dashboard fusebox to the ed setup.

3. use ed/nc harnesses but fit a au 5.0 ecu setup using a standalone harness and use the au ecu for engine and the ed/el ecu for rest of car

which option would you go with as also want to retain the ed dashboard and interior and the cruise control system or atleast the buttons

ED and EL are same number of pins for ECU. EL ecu plugs straight in.
Should only have to change the wiring in the engine bay if going from 6 to 8.
May need a few other things, but that's a start.

its to convert from 6 cyl to v8 the plugs for ecu in v8 seems to be different but in 6 cyl it as you said looks to be same, what would you do out those options

You might have to wait for someone who knows a bit more about nc/nl fairlanes.

Count the pins on the V8 ecu , if its 60 odd, then that's an AU set up. If it's 40 odd its EL.

 

Vote for what?

Means vote for what would be best option 

 

at moment doing a table up of the pin number and colour of each wire on both the ed v8 ecu and el v8 ecu and what each does to compare  for example each row will have the pin number of the ed v8 ecu then the colour of that wire in the ed then the function then the pin number or the el v8 ecu and the colour of the wire in the el
