the ECUs are different between Xg and EL, different pin setup/plug. you could use EL ecu to run everything youl just have to swap in an EL loom aswell

Are you sure the plugs are different? The XG used the EB ECU, and I've heard of a fair few people plugging and playing the EL ECU.

I know that EF computers have a higher pin count and are also coil pack based too.

The EL only really has a BBM, thermos, knock sensor and maybe a couple of other things over an EECIV computer. Other than those things the EECV ECUs are pretty much controlling the same engine, they would have some differences in fuel etc being as the engine did change a little bit.

Once you get past the first EL ECU he had being defective you can see that the EL computer ran the engine fine, he did say that it wasn't controlling the auto properly, but the BTRs are all the same through the E series. Also BenJ commented further down the page and said that he chucked an EL ECU into his old EB and it ran everything just fine.

And also this guy:

el ecu in my nc2 fairlane worked great, basicly ed should work with a eb2 same box, has this only played up since the ecu changes ,maybe a pin prob at the conector or selector /inhibitor switch prob the only codes sholud be for the fans and the bbm , i put in the soliniod for the bbm under dash just to keep the ecu happy and had all the fan wiring etc from a el, no more codes


But there were some people who couldn't get things going properly..

wow you got that pretty much rite

The VT ended up with a 1 meter head start but it was neck and neck till it (XG) shifted into 2nd, then we pulled away pretty quick, I tried putting it into 3rd wile doing 100ks to work out the diff ratio, apparently it has a 2.75 in it?, could anyone tell me what gains i would get from putting a 3.75 or 4.11 in there, just based on personal experience like fuel use, acceleration, top speed and such :P

doubt it would be 2.75 with a btr :P have a look under the car for the tag on the diff.

with 4.11s in there you will get about 60 out of first.

Put it in neutral and put your foot to the floor, you will find the limiter. prob about 5800rpm

you will know when you hit it, cos it bounces on the limiter.
