  • Vr6 ecm manual vs auto question

    Hey, guys, I just wanted to know if there was any differences between the auto and manual versions of the obd2 vr6 ecu. I'm looking to pick one up, but it's from an auto and mines manual, and while I don't think there is any voodoo in the ecu controlling the auto box, I'd rather make sure before dropping any coin.
    Cheers guys

    Ps: sorry if this is a "you should have used the search function" type question, but I'm on my mobile, and it's crap for the search on this site.

    No it won't work.
    Plus you'll have Immobilizer issues. There is a code in the imob and ecu, if they don't match the car won't run.

      I've got a manual ECU if you're interested mate. Not sure about the immobiliser as Kay said though.

        Ah, fair enough. Cheers for the heads up. I think I might go with a stand alone setup. I was heading that way in the long term, just thought I might get the bugs worked out of the mechanical side of things. I heard about someone doing immobiliser deletes in England, for engine swaps, so I'm going to look into that, if it comes up reasonably priced I'll get back to you, timito. Cheers guys, I think you just saved me a bunch.

          Keep it auto, get a box built (stally and shift kit) mard

            Cheers for the info and such, guys, I think it's time to bite the bullet and go straight for a stand alone ecu setup, as after the car passes it's rego business for the engine swap, I'm heading down the turbo route anyway, so it seems a bit expensive to buy a stock ecu, get the immobiliser tweaked, and then rip it out weeks later for the upgrade. Stay tuned, however, as I'll be doing some serious write up on the new ecu, and whatever headaches that brings.
