Well, i went to my transmission tech today, he discovered that i could have retained my original auto and just swapped over the internal loom and solenoids
Tell me more please, I was just about to swap out the valve body and try again, AFAIK the solenoids are the same type i.e normally open, but are powered differently as below. is the guy talking from experience?

E series have common ground on all solenoids except S5.
B series have common 12V on all except S7 - (Lock up TC)

This is taken care of by different drives from the ECU.

I rewired mine internally to be the same as E series but the BA box starts in second and then selects first at around 30KPH so I had assumed that the valve body is different. The BA manual suggests S4 is to blame. Is there a difference in the solenoids?

Urgh i really don't know :( i wish i could understand the workings of these gearboxes, it would make life so much easier. Unfortunately the way i learn is by word of mouth and from trial and error haha. If i find anything out, i'll be sure to let you know. I'm going to embark on a journey to see if i can make an EL 93LE compatible with a BA ECU, i'm starting from the ground (or possibly lower than ground level :D ) and working my way up.

Maybe, if one came along cheap enough and if the funds permitted, i'd seriously consider it.

Thanks matey! I'm pretty stoked with the outcome. I was originally hoping for and would have been happy with 180-190rwhp. The only chip tickle it has had was just to get it running, as the car wasn't drivable at the time it was in at BPT they weren't able to do a custom tune. So with just a single muffler 2.5' exhaust system, a "custom high flow" cat :oops: , and a K&N air filter it's now churning the numbers. Now if i could get 300rwhp with a huffer, i'd be over the moon :D

Not as yet mate, still trying to gather all the required bits and pieces. Will probably get a cooler within the next couple of weeks and have a crack at mounting that up to the car.
