Gh0stk1ll3r Member 25 Member For: 5y 10m 19d Posted 22/01/19 06:41 AM Share Posted 22/01/19 06:41 AM Hi everyone, I've just bought a roller project that should be ready to turn key, providing I have the right ECU. The car was a BF XR6 with a ZF 6HP-26. Now it has a BA XR6 Turbo donk bolted to the original ZF 6HP-26 from the BF. Apparently I can just tune the BF's ECU to run the combo of the BA Turbo and the ZF. Is this correct? Or do I have to use a BF XR6 Turbo, ZF 6HP-26 ECU and BCM? I rang my local tuner and he had no idea. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you use a aftermarket haltech ecu? I don't know. I don't even know why I'm answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always sell the aftermarket ecu when you blow your car up I'm assuming this is a car that's going to see a lot of abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely pro looking into making a tuned ford ecu work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gh0stk1ll3r Member 25 Member For: 5y 10m 19d Posted 22/01/19 07:11 AM Author Share Posted 22/01/19 07:11 AM Guy I bought it off Inherited a Original 90,000km BA XR6 Turbo that ran sweet as a nut but had a surprise date with a Captiva in the side. The BF was on it's second motor and blew the head. Picked up the lot for $3800. I'll chuck a bf or fg Turbo motor in it when I pay my ranger off. So back on topic I should be right with the BF ECU? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
