but now considering putting it into my transit pickup..
will it bolt to the gearbox on the transit or how do you convert..
any help help help help help help

to fit it to the transit MT75 gearbox you will need the very rare svo adapterplate and flywheel or modifly pinto ones

have a search throught the progress report section theres a few of us who have done it different ways

not been done with a BOB iirc, pats is the problem on these

[bortaf]

you can use the BOA loom but i beleive you loose the vairiable inlet tract, theres quite a few BOBs about in other cars

if your doing that doesnt is need any sensors off the autobox have you actually had it running this way before and on a manual

[kevvy79133]

yes have had this engine runing on a frame in the garage
took a lot of work but it ran without a gearbox connected..
but not for long... as only down pipes and lambada sensers
verry loud.......................................

Luke's right
On the A4ldE, the ECU receives data, like how hot or cold the transmission is and also if it's overheating
The ECU takes this information and can (lower) stop the engine from delivering FULL power And we can't have that Can we

there must be a way of 'fooling' the ecu into thinking everything is ok - shorting sensors out etc.

you can but each sensor gives a resistance back. So you would need to bridge with a resistor not just a link also this resistance may change at different speeds
