Hey guys, I'm transplanting a motor and gearbox from a GTT wreck into a GTV shell, already has all of the turbo gear, brakes, suspension etc and the manual conversion component and wiring including speedo is all stuff that i'm familiar with.

The only thing that I haven't dealt with is getting TCS to work as the GTV (despite being a 'turbo car without a turbo' doesn't have a TCS unit)

Has anyone got any info on the specifics of wiring TCS into the GTV loom? or wether or not i'll need to use the entire GTT body loom and TCS unit.

Cheers

Yuh, NIstune the ECU and get rid of the TCS.  No reason to have it when you have a functioning ankle.

The donor car already has a nistune, I just want to be sure that leaving it out of the car and disabling it in software isn't going to cause the ABS to have a fit.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
