Achaikos · 03-04-2009, 11:53 PM

im back and im ready for my silvertop transplant
im picking up my silvertop engine with transmission tomorrow
im going to need to buy an ECU im wondering for the blacktop ecu on a silvertop whats the advantages/ disadvantages? is there extra work compared to a silvertop ECU?

so i got the engine coming and when i purchase the ECU ill grab:
-AW11 20v 4age Fuel Line
-AW11 20v Custom Vacuum Line Kit
-AW11 20v Custom Coolant Line Kit
from side2side
and im going to use the 16v exhaust
and prob get someone on here to do the harness crossing to make my life much easier.
anything im missing?
who can do the harness crossing? mr220v?

I highly recommend mr220v, he did my harness and I don't have any complaints.

Good luck with your swap!

When you go to get that motor, check out what's under the oil cap. You're looking for silver or golden VS black and sludgy.

I'd be happy to do the wiring for you. I can make a harness to run on either a silvertop or blacktop ecu. Just tell me how you want it.

if you can afford it get the bt ecu. if will give u a few more ponies. just be aware you will need a map sensor for it.

Also you may want to grab some of the swap parts now as they are on sale. The only thing listed that is not on sale is the coolant line kit. Just a heads up.
