Default Microturbo TRS-18 Engine Control Documentation Needed

Hello Everyone -

I work for the controls and instrumentation group at Canada's National
Research Council in Ottawa, Canada. We test turboprop and turbojet
engines for most of the major engine manufacturers. We acquired 4
Microturbo TRS-18's in the 1980's for a research project that was
cancelled. I believe that they are the 220 lbf thrust versions. The
have an integral electric starter/generator. We are planning to use
the engines to shake-down a new altitude test facility. I have 4
brand- new engines (from 1981) in boxes with absolutely no
documentation. I am looking for documentation on engine control,
specifically ECU hookup, fuel pump specifics, and starter-generator
wiring. Being a Government/Military testing agency I can probably get
the info through official channels but I would like to get these
things going this summer so I thought I would try this group first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the particulars of the engines:

Engine: 046.01.01
Dist Block 046.23
ECU 046.32.01
Fuel Pump 046.05

Thanks in advance for your time,

Brian
