Hi.

The AU engine will work fine with the ED log manifold and ECU.

However, you can't retune the ED ECU. You would need an EL ECU for the J3 chip to work with, and then you may as well add in the BBM.

What I would suggest, is to use the ED log manifold and ECU to get the AU engine in and running, and then do a BBM conversion later.

Cheers

I thought issues appeared with the A/C compressor hitting the manifold?
