You'll need the full wiring harness and keys, including ignition barrel, and make sure it's from an sr so you don't need to bypass abs, airbags, electric Windows and what not
You'll walk out cheaper with an LS engine and 6speed auto, it's been done to death, so everything is off the shelf

Marks couldn't get the two ECU's to work together so abandoned it for the time being.
By off the shelf I mean buy the bits and fit it all over a couple of weeks, hoses, aircon, all plug and play. Like Marks 4WD do for Patrols.

any decent engine tuner can easily pass emissions criteria with after market ecu,
i had a rotary engineered with aftermarket ecu, it was running at idle cleaner than a ve dunnydore,
that where they check it
So we finished the conversion a month or so ago, the ute drives so much better now, Im so happy with it! Anyway theres only 1 problem to sort out and that a egr code and a slight surging issue,HK1837 wrote:Blackdelux wrote:HK1837 wrote:You need the GM ECU if you want it to easily pass emissions hence Engineering, in NSW at least.

Not in NSW. Costs a fortune to prove emissions, and it isn't just at idle for a 2011. Using GM ECU is easy as it already complies as long as the tune is stock.
I'll leave this thread alone now for Addz
