MacroP Regular Location: Binningup WA Registered: April 2004	Re: 5M-GE EMC conversion Sun, 16 January 2005 14:39 I have also done a complete changeover from 5ME(BHG suprise suprise) to 5MGE engine(with it's loom) aswell as the conversion to ECT auto too. I had a complete MX73 donor car with front end damage. I now have a new front end for it and a 1UZ is making it's way into the donor car ATM. As for the conversion, was a bit of mucking around but as I have(still have) the complete electrical drawings for both engines and cars it was just more time consuming than anything. A few electrical mods were needed in the engine bay and behind the dash to make everything look and feel like 'Factory'. The O/D relay for the old tranny is now removed and replaced with a new ECT computer(behind the glovebox) that interfaces with the new engine ECU sitting next to it. This is where the funs starts. The car now flies compared to of old, due it being able to be revved so much harder. Fuel ecomony isn't much better if at all. Generally 450-500kms from a tank, 95% county driving(sideways ). The engine is much nicer to work on too, as the EFI setup is much simpler physically though more complex electronically. There's no mess of vacuum lines running around on the intake manifold. The ECT auto is also much nicer to drive with. I've put in the Power/Econony switch next to the shifter. No silly kickdowns when over taking slowly. The only real drama I've had, is the tranny has a hydraulic problem with the T/C lockup solenoid. Solenoid or hydrualic realy is probably stuck, need to drop the pan to suss it out but not for now. Give us a buzz if your need specific's as the job is still fresh in my mind, sort of. Good luck. [Report message to a moderator]
