Which Ecu To Use?

[Azzman460]

G'day guys. I am converting a BA Engine to a turbo. Now I'm going to put F6 Turbo gear onto it, and a 6 speed manual transmission. It will get an atomic rebuild kit. Then its going into my BF MKII Ute. Now to my thinking would a BA MKII TURBO PCM programmed for a 6 Speed transmission do the job? or would I have to get a BF MKII TURBO PCM? and if I did that would it work with the BA motor. Any help would be really appreciated as this is really hard to figure out haha. Cheers

I would go the ba as the Bf has dule independant VCT where the Ba only had Dule VCT

[Azzman460]

They are both Independant VCT but the BA cuts out the VCT below a certain RPM the BF has it going all the time. Still at a loss as to which one to use though haha

You're right, but what robbo is saying is the the BA cams phase off each other, where-as the BF cams phase independantly of each other - so the BF is the more advanced program

[Azzman460]

ahh yeah I get it, that's correct. Would the BA motor with the BF PCM work the VCT the same as the BF, even though its a BA motor it would have the BF PCM and programming? Obviously it would have to be a BF loom as well.

I'm not exactly sure if there is any hardware differences between the heads, but I believe it is just software
