XR6T into GQ conversion

[twase]

Started ordering bits for the conversion today commencing with the most strategic part, the bellhousing and thats on order with Dellow.
Spoke to the engineer who will be certifying it and he seems happy with my plans.

Now that sounds like a project - will the electronic side of things be the most complex aspect, or is that dealt with by a wiring harness or some such?

[twase]

Electronics should not be too bad if I stay with the BA ECU. I need to get it flashed to remove the PAT security and also change the VSS signal input from ABS to non ABS type (gearbox sensor).

Dont you have to do something with the throttle pedal setup as its fly by wire or is that on the later models. I know on another forum im on a bloke has done this and I think the wiring was prob the hardest he had to do, he also had issues with not having enough room for the turbo although that could be solved with the use of a highmount.

all else being equal, will you get better fuel economy Twase? Than the TB42E I meant.

Sweet will be keeping an eye on this thread and buildup

Yes Fly by Wire throttle will be required. Correct there will be some clearance issues between the turbo and the steering coupler that will need some work to get both some clearance and heat isolation.

That is the plan, mine is a carb version so with the BA I will be able to go Sequential Vapour LPG.

thanks Twase.
