rwd smallport 4age auto ecu

Postby panda_dan » Fri Dec 01, 2006 9:38 am

I am dropping a smallport 4age into my ae85.

It was auto and i am wondering what i will have to do to the ecu in order to run it.

Anyone had any experience here?

Thanks - Danny

You dont have to do anything to the ecu, you only need to bridge the gear selector switch.

How do you bridge the gear selector switch?

Once the selector switch is bridged am i likely to encounter any probs in the future?

Thanks guys

The switch is located at the front of the car on the gear box, just follow the gear selector cable to it, you will see a plug with about 6 or so wires going to it, I think its the black wire and a black with white stripe (please double check) you will need to bridge/join those two wires together.
