down shifting actually slowed the bus when needed. some of the longer pulls got down to 43 mph. way better than with the 545. it does seem to hang onto taller gears longer than i'd like. occasionally i'd manually downshift just to keep the RPM up.

she likes to cruise at 63.
very happy

nikitis your diagram exactly matches my wiring set up.
i've got a scan guage plugged into the 1708 port. i was watching throttle %, RPM, Water temp, and speed. cant believe the speed is still accurate post swap.
Did you have to change out your throttle at all, or do you even have to touch it?

Found this newly released video of a guy doing the engine hp tune on the T444E using the cheap chinese clone nexiq.

Fun vid to watch. He slipped his torque converter like I did when he upped to 230 HP.

is the address request going unanswered from the AU box, or the TCM?
Any canbus device that transmits requires termination resistor. If its just listening it doesnt require a resistor but it also wont hurt anything if you have it. Ive got a pretty decent background in canbus if anyone needs help. If anyone needs a cheap canbus sniffer let me know they are easy to build.

Very cool stuff!

Looking into a 2000 swap for my bus, and I know it being a 97 it should be a 3 box setup, but whats the easiest way to confirm?

does your bus have a large computer hanging off the passenger side valve cover? if so then its a single box and may have a J1939 connector...

3 box ECM is behind the firewall, driver side with a large rectangular plug in the engine compartment connecting to it through the firewall. ECM is under the dash far left side tuck well into the dash.
