Nicks Ke30 V6 Project

[NickZ]

Not a good memory, it just that ive done a few and just finished my Hyundai with the V6.

Skip the Vn computer go the later models, If your going auto most of the new autos are computer controlled, but again the wiring loom for engine and box are combined and only need a few wires connectec to get them going.

 

Now as far a later model ecotecs go, YV onwards (I'm currently fiting one to a WB ute) the computer has to be with the BCM and Key, The computer uses a Flash chip and not a memcal (supercharged Version is memcal) . Work on them hasnt come too far yet, I'm having to go to a VT computer in my case (N/A VY) its not pin compatible, Wish i had knew that before.

 

You can modify the later ECU's VS-VT and run EFILIVE, fully programable computer as you drive no flashing needed.

You can by simulators for the BCM i think. makes it think the BCM is gettin all the right signals.

yeh i know they make the bcm simulators its just there a bit pricey, what i was thinking was that i will just bolt up a vn tranny to cut out that computer problem, but I'm still trying to find another solution to the bcm.

Jump on Just commodore web site and there are a few guys that car rewrite your memcal to take out the security, or youll find them on ebay and just request them to take it out when you buy the memcal.

ok i was doing a bit more looking and i was told that i may be able to use a vp computer (pre bcm) with the vp wiring loom to solve this whole drama... any1 got any comments on whether that would work???

[Mitch-12]

just use a vy computer and i can turn the security off with my hp tuners softwhere then it will work and btw what diff you runin in ur v6 ke**

Nick sold this car some time ago and it has been sold a couple of times more since then.

 

He did all the build himself and from memory the WHOLE CAR cost him around $1400!!! I think he paid about $300 for a whole running VN.
