For you guys with 6a13tt out there

Seeing as considering swapping out my block for the 6a13 and using my current manifolds and turbo setup question I have is how different is the loom on 6a13? Will I be able to use existing loom and just retune (piggyback ECU). Or should I source a 6a13 ECU to suit and loom?

Or is it just a minor amount of splicing required to use current ecu required?

Also knowing current box will fit but some minor mods required is it just for starter motor?


Not sure will do this as already have trouble getting traction with cold tyres and wet weather but would be great to be able to wind up boost mayber larger snail and push 250KWs :twisted:

Why bother mixing looms and going piggy back. Get a proper standalone ECU. If you want good but cheap go an EMS 8860
