BG5C Manual Conversion?


Miguel

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Planning on undertaking a manual conversion on my 98 GT and having a bit of trouble nailing down specific info related to TT Autos of this particular type.

Wondering if anyone has done a swap on one of these before and if so what was required electrically to make it all happy.

 

I'm somewhat fearing the ECU & TCU are one in the same and from what I've looked at so far it appears this is likely the case and would make it an absolute headache without a reloom so I'm hoping someone can let me know definitely in either case.

 

Cheers,

Michael

Yep I found that thread, Gen3's definitely do run a standalone TCU. 

 

I found a page from a Japanese guy who's done a conversion on a BG5A

http://machax.s319.xrea.com/m2/bg5/drv/002.html

 

I even went through a lot of American stuff, worked out which wiring needs to be mucked around with on their setup(As their facelift BD/BG ECU also runs a bolt on single connector instead of the usual 4 or 3 plug deal) Only to realise afterwards that it's actually completely different again to a BG5C AT ECU connector.

This diagram is the only thing really that I've been able to find and even then it's not much help as it's largely unlabeled and the parts that are are in Japanese.

Well after a bunch of research and parts sourcing I believe I've sorted what's required for a BG5B/C 20H manual conversion.

 

For anyone interested you will need.

 

Gearbag(and matching diff/shafts etc depending on the setup you're planning to run) I'll be running a TY752VBCAA box paired to an EM code 4.44 Suretrac

BD/BG Manual tailshaft

Pedal set, footrest

Clutch master, slave & lines

Clutch, flywheel etc of course

Manual Starter motor

Shifter assy incl interior shifter trims

Transmission mount/subframe (If running twins the front & rear body mount pieces of the subframe share part numbers with single turbo but the centre section is different, unsure what changes till I have it in the flesh)

5G code manual ECU part # 2611AC581/582/583

ABS ECU, this will depend on the build date of your car

Complete Dash/Main engine harness from same car as the ECU

 

Will update once all parts have arrived to confirm everything works as it should.

Any luck with this conversion? I'm looking to do the same thing with a 96 Legacy.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
