Look like Supersports to me or are you talking about changing them?

Sweet looking ride, no expense spared by the sounds of things

[MEESEN]

Thanks guys, these are the only photos I could find but its all still in the build.

Many expenses spared though, I try to diy as much as possible, from surge tank, headers, trans mount, wiring, abs relocation, custom dash etc etc

Any yes currently on super sports but thinking of dropping to an 18" wheel before it hits the road again (y)

Looks great and I bet it goes even better!

ECU Side 4L80E Relay Mod

Found a lot of tutorials over the internet to do this exact mod but I thought I'd have a go at simplifying it all a bit for those interested

Ensure when cutting wires to leave enough length to join to them!

C1 = Green/Red Connector
C2 = Blue Connector

Eg. C2-23 is Pin 23 of the PCM Blue connector pin 23


2-3 solenoid (Reversing action)

• Cut C2-47 (Yellow/Black)

Relay:
85- Wire hanging out of C2-47
87A- Trans side of C2-47
30- Ground
86- 12V+
87 – Not Connected


TCC Lockup

• Cut C2-2 (Brown)
• Cut C2-42 (Tan/Black or Grey/Red)
• Cut C1-79 (White, Grey or Green/White)


Relay:
85- Wire hanging out of C2-42 PCM side
86- 12V+
30- Wire hanging out of C2-2 PCM side (Brown)
87- Trans side of (White, Grey or Green/White)

Remaining wires are taped up and no longer used

Crikey, nice sleeper

Yep, other than maybe the big exhaust nobody would expect what's going on under that bonnet, very understated and very nice work MEESEN .

What does this mod achieve? The info is probably out there everywhere but I haven't heard of it.

Basically the 4L80e Relay mod allows you to run a 4l80e trans with a 4l60e (segment/tune)
