Hi Guys,

A friend of mine has got an L6 computer and is building a track EsCos. He has no P8 ECU, and wants to use a L6. The original Loom is in the car.

What is needed to fit the L6 computer in the car? The connector looks the same? Is it just switching some cables?

Cheers,
Bjorn

 

for pure ease and effort, why not just buy a P8, or even a L8.

plug and play then.

going to a L6 is going backwards, very backwards infact.

 

Because he want's to test his car, and has this ECU at home ATM. Later he willl buy an L or P8 computer, but for now it's just trying....

 

Unplug TPS. Car will start and drive on L6 for testing.

 

Thanks Stu

I'll give it a go tonight!

 

u can change the pins to the tps,the diffrence is 0-5v and 5-0v.P8 0-5 and L6 5-0v

 

Im afraid you cant as the L8 - P8 is not 0-5v

 

0,8-4,53v

 

Correct. So fitting a PF01 will feed the ECU an open circuit signal at idle, which flags as a TPS fault and disables/affects a few strategies such as overun fuel and idle control.

PF01 will never work correctly on a L8 - P8. Its a bodge.

 

Nice information, very helpful to people like me and i am glad i am in this forum.
