I thought the looms for the ef engine bay wiring was different to the el, didnt ef have 2 plugs for the loom and el have 1 plug for the loom, isnt the ecu plug different as well

ecu plug is different... hence why you have to run an EL computer (EL + ED are the same)... as for the other loom I have no idea???

Cheers,
Tim

becuase ef runs coil packs and and el runs a dizzy, but also there is a tec doco some where you can use the ea to ed loom, just have to run a few extra wires and some plugs will have to be chopped etc

The manifold itself is the same from EF to AU (donno about BA) but he'll probably use a EL computer. Unless he dose the RPM switch trick.

Yes, sorry your right there.
I think the part numbers are different, and the housing probably is too if one bolts to the throttle and the other to the firewall.
But what I don't know is wether they would both function the same electrically, or if the AU one has a different output or somthing.

I they are the same, (functionally) it would be as you say, just extend wiring and the plug.

Ok, just looked up ACA catalogue...
EA-EL (88-98) are same part number.
But AU has 2 different one.
One from 98-00 (series I) and one from 00 on. (series II)

plugs look different (easy swap I guess) but the only issue would be of they have a different output to the computer, if so the EL computer wouldn't read it properly.
