I can't help with diagrams, but if you post up the inputs you want to trick, you might get some tips.

Cheers,

Scott

cannot be done without a computer tune or fault codes will show. unless you use the entire commodore dash, bcm and computer and all components you will need a tune. I just cut the auto wires etc and taped them up. the auto is controlled by the factory computer. the factory one is far more powerful than a motec etc so it is easy with the right knowledge

mine would not fire without correct fuel pressure from memory. i can't remember if it sparked or not. I would make it think its in park if you have not had a tune. you will need a tune they have anti theft and will not run without the correct bcm!

Is there a difference if the computer is from a manual or auto? I have a computer here, supposedly from manual, that I won't be using. If I put my motor in Patrol (undecided as yet) it will be straight gas with gas carby onto edelbrock manifold- no electricals to fiddle with at all! (or pollution junk)

the computers are the same except the auto ones have the auto controls copied onto them - much like a hard drive and cand be modified or deleted. it is better if you have a computer with dskw on the side (under the black plastic holder) I exchanged mine for one of these and thus allows a full tune.you can reprogram any computer to remove the need for bcm or matching auto etc, even delete fault codes like low coolant etc. I got mine done by mark at brendale - powertorque engines. go to ls1edit.com.au mine was $1100. should get it done for $450 now days. ring capa and ask if you buy a computer programmer if it allows you to to do it ($900 odd)

any holden dealer has the wiring diagram - except they have no colours so its a one wire at a time thing. my first set caught fire as they were next to the exhaust ports and got fueled at startup. I laminated my second set and have lost them - i really looked too as i needed them to wire the thermos a month back.

cheers bru
