Gents,
I'm in the US and recently put a 1HD-FTE from a UK-spec 2005 HDJ100 in my 80-series. It was paired with the A750F auto box which I'm currently enjoying but I've still got the 5 speed itch. In thinking of a future H152 manual conversion for this engine, a couple problems emerge that I'm hoping you guys may be able to help me with.
This engine got your water cooled EGR, MAF, intake shutters, reverse cut timing gears, and the Garrett VNT turbo. It seems to me that I would have to find an ECU part number from a similarly equipped manual optioned HDJ100. So, my first question is that... did the UK market get a HDJ100 with 5-speed manual transmission? If so, does anyone know where I can find a model number for this unicorn so I can start cross referencing part numbers?
If no such option exists, it feels like I would not be able to convert to a manual transmission with this UK-specific FTE (VNT,MAF, etc.). : (
Current photo just for giggles.
