did you choose a UTE ECU without ABS because the Vehicle Speed Sensor runs off the transducer (i think)

exactly, just means less wires to extract from the loom.

I'll be watching this one too, I always wanted to drop a BA eng in my ef, altho I was thinking more along the lines of XR6 T... but I dont see that being very easy at all lol. Good luck with the wiring and engineering mate :)

the ecu is a standard ecu and the box to remove the security is $595


This car is almost finished now. Owen spent the day today finishing off some wiring . the auto electrician couldnt believe the security could be removed so easy.
couple more issues to sort out but hopefully we will see a finished car soon

the BA motor is the same bolt patten as a AU motor

you can use an AU bell housing to pick up all holes
if you use a E series bell housing the lower 2 bolts wont line up

For the $4500 indicated i imagine you could get more power from an AU engine?

But that's not to suggest that people wouldn't still choose the twin cam.
