Re: 20012 6bt conversion
Hi Tunja,
Mechanically everything fits no problem.
Electronically it is a nightmare. Your 4.8 ECU has about 200 wires looking for a “home” as it seeks information on various sensors, not to mention the tiptronic gearbox.
I have a 4.8 bolted onto what was originally a GQ TB42 (Skilpad). There will be a thread on what we have done soon, by people much more knowledgeable than me. Save to say I think we have finally got the right solution to make it a reliable set-up.
Watch this space...

Re: 2014 4.8 to Cummins 6bt conversion
Why are you replacing the 4.8 with the Cummins Tinus?
Is the old motor and gearbox for sale perhaps??

Re: 20012 6bt conversion
Hi Alex, I've read with other conversions "Spitronics" was the way forward? Don't see the point in trying to sort out signals from a nonexistant auto box when a manual box would be fitted?Alex Roux wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019 10:24Hi Tunja,
