Hello,
I'm investigating the use of a BA 3Valve 5.4 PCM for use on a 393w in an XH ute. I would modify the harness slightly to use on the 5.8 engine and use as many if not all BA sensors. I've already made an AU style 36-1 encoder wheel and AU style Cam sensor. I'm using a BTR 4spd and I believe it's just a matter of changing the drive side of the shift solenoids via wiring harness mods to use a BA PCM to control? I can adapt a BA style throttle body and pedal assembly(is it possible to turn DBW off or is this too much of a code change to be possible?). Can the BA PCM spit out serial data to the original cluster or has that been deleted so they use CAN? I can also flash PATS out of the PCM before requiring any tuning software.
Is this a bad idea? Should I just stick with AU EECV and run a 1/4horse in realtime?
Regards,
Pete.
