ecu will defo need unlocking, not too certain in the conversions as i havent done a vtr to s conversion myself but youll defo need an unlocked ecu, should have done it before you removed the engine, and change your titl

The 'key light' means the immobiliser is engaged, stopping the engine from starting.

fort it was do you know were to get an unlocked ecu or get mine done?? so dose any 1 know what the wires out of the fuse box were 4?? thanks ppl

[raunchz]

ryanmt on here (£60) or bluehawk electronics (£100)

get a pic of the wires and post it up - will be able to tell then

[ryannevansinleece]

sweet al get em off my phone 4 ya.. do you know if the petrol tanks are the same because a was just gonna change the lot as 1 wt ya recon?? so will i not have to change the key and what about the transporter??????

[raunchz]

you need a fuel return line - if you search on here theres a good guide on fitting one.

Tanks are the same size - just the configuration of the fuel lines thats different

You can keep all your keys, barrel etc. Just need an unlocked ECU and immobiliser box - have a search on here for where the immobiliser box is located

[Olly]

You could use all the stuff out of the vts, Pickup ring, transponder chip barrel key etc in the car to unlock the ecu, then remove immobiliser box while ignition on the put all the original kep parts back on. Will save £60.

[ryannevansinleece]

so if i use all the stuff out of the overcar it should start. wat do i need??? key pick up ring + chip, transport modul(the black box behind dash)???? what about imobliser?? (cnt spell). i will put somw pics up tomorrow 4 all 2 see...

[ryannevansinleece]

how do.. so i have swaped all the key chip, pick up ring, transporter box and the key light dosnt flash any more. it still turns over but dose not fire.. so i took the coil pack off and put a spark plug in and no spark?? any idears?? all wireing pluged in ok..

i had excatly the same problem last week.

its two wires a green and a yellow one..
they go into the fuse box.
pull the fuse box bit out and pall the yellow clip out abit.
the wires will only fit in the certian sockets.
they power the fuel pump and injectors!

[ryannevansinleece]

cheers m8 al leave it tilll tomorro. did you say join them togeaher or swap them or pull them out all togeather??

[ryannevansinleece]
