Fitting uk lump with turbo into my sti import just so I can use the car


I'm using the whole engine, turbo and injectors,,

Is it just a case of swapping ecu overs?? As I want to get standalone ecu down the road to run my vf24 and sti injectors and get set up( child on way forces funds)

Both cars are v4

Please help

What's wrong with your sti engine? They never made a version 4 uk classic. So I'm guessing its a my97/98 phase 1? Grey injectors? Tdo4? Will you be using the sti gearbox

Black_beast

Yes tdo4, has coil pack located on top in the middle of inlet,, sti engine lost all compression,,

Anyway I was going use the sti gearbox on it as it's still in the car,,


So will it just be a case of swapping engine over and the ecu??

Black_beast

Or is the wire loom slightly different when it comes to the cam and crank sensor,,

Eg they work opposite on import to uk car?

Hard to remember but iirc just lift your inlet manifold of and put on new engine. Might have to change injectors check the colour. Should do the job nicely

Black_beast

The inlets are all same and plugs etc,,only thing maybe different is the injectors,,

I wanna keep the uk engine and run the ecu it runs off in the donar car,, and transfer it into mine,,

Mine is a import and just wanted know if it's a case of just swapping the ecu over

You swap ecu's you'll run into problems with cam and crank sensors. Not a big problem but why not just swap as is. It's easy to swap the two sensors in the footwell.

Black_beast

U mean just swap them over where they connect on to the ecu?

Black_beast

Or just as easy swap whole harness out of donor car into mine

Yes swap them where they connect to ecu.
