VR 3.8 V6 into Isuzu Conversion help

Postby NB42 » Wed Apr 30, 2014 10:26 pm

So removed engine from a 1994 VR Commodore executive today (series 1 3.8 ) and am sorting things out for the transplant into an Isuzu Wizard. Biggest worry before I start is the Body control Module/Anti-theft system incorporated into this. How can the computer be tricked into thinking the module is there, or bypass this altogether? I will be using the ignition key that is from the wizard as want the bcm gone and not have a coded key. Also will not be using the holden trans. Any help will be much appreciated, Cheers

There was a guy on trademe doing a computer swop for $70 plus postage
give him your computer and he gives you one back with the security codes removed

There is a local sparky who does them too, don't know what he charges tho

Yep just get a memcal with vats removed and plug it into your ecm thats what ive got on my vt v6 conversion works a treat. Much cheaper than a link ecu and a tune on top of that.

IF doing this be aware or static electricity, don't touch the pins of the eprom...
It's just more fun in a lada !!

Thanks guys, i will be either doing the swap ecu or replacement eprom as they sound like the best options. Will also have to get the ecu so it doesnt read for the holden trans that won't be there.
At $2k-2.2k for a link computer i think i will steer clear of them.

Cheers
