you'd need to modify the cruise cable i guess.
Speak to Dellboy999 as he was trying to work something out.

Cruise will work as normal, the cable just has to be secured to the rocker cover, no modules or wiring have to be changed.

I have my cruise working, wasnt all that hard, I have to cut my orginal cable and then re-join it to the throttle body a little shorter, but it is working fine.

But after my how can i put this, extremely dissapoiinting dyno run on saturday, i would suggest if you dont use an EL ECU, or a chip, dont do it, see the dyno day thread as to why. :(

Default Gday im doin the conversion without the EL comp

Mines going in next weekend, all the ИИИИ is ready to go in, when its on im going advance the ИИИИ out of the timing to rectify to power drop in midrange till the chip and cam goes in and then the EL spark maps will be programmed into the chip, so it will be all good.
