Hello

 

I believe this question goes here... sorry if im wrong

 

Im putting a vh45 into my 1982 nissan patrol mk . Im using the patrols 4 speed manual transmission.

 

The motor fits well into the nissan but now comes the complicated things...

Im not going to turbocharged the engine.

 

Go for the original ecu.

Haltech??

Other...

 

Im a little confused... and need chep solutions... i run out of cash.. my wife is beating me :D

 

Thanks

Chris

 

PS: ill put some pics

vh45dett power' date='baby.

since '03.[/quote']

 

Another question...

 

The ecu is the same for all years vh45de?

Or there are differents models?

 

Ive read that the ecus differs one year to an other...

 

is that true??

 

thanks

I'd use the stock ecu. Factory ecu's are pretty easy to wire into other cars with a diagram. Q45's came with a small service manual, It has the wiring in it. Should be easy to find one cheap on ebay.

 

Ive got the original manual of the motor... a lot of pages. the wiring is there...

ill try to get the ecu on ebay...

 

thanks.

 

ahhh... one question ... the ecu is the same for all years motor??

have you put the engine in the car already?

and the transmission bolts up' date=' with no modifications?[/quote']

 

Did a home made flywheel -is for off roading, so it must be a little heavier than the original for torque gaining- , im going to use the original clutch from the patrol -the radius of the clutch fits perfectly the radius of the flywheel- , and the rest is an iron plate to fit the bellhouse from the patrol with the block.

 

I have put a ford 46O that way and it worked fine... the problem is that the ford motor has to much torque on low rpm range, so the transmission, diffs, everything suffers to much... besides, the ford is carburated and it weights 720kg or more... ahhh...and ford sucks... :D ...japanese roolez

 

The transmission fitting can be done by any ¨tornero¨.. dont know how to say that in english and is not complicated.

 

hope this is usefull

 

Saludos

1990 to 1993, 1994 to 1996, and 1997 (not sure after '97.)

 

So, there should be 3 different ECUs. 1990 are generally regarded as the best year for performance, as long as you replace the timing chain guides while the engine is still good.
