New engine fitted,, will it run on old ecu
Just fitted engine,, it's uk version into what was my v4 sti,,
Would the car start up on my old sti ecu?
I don't intend to run the car on this as Iv taken the old ecu off donar car along with all turbo etc so it's all kept same
Just wanted make sure the car fired up before I swap the crank and cam wires over as there in different pin outs on uk ecu compared to my sti loom,,

Bit of an awkward one this if you intend on running the uk ecu you would be as well swapping inlet manifolds over as in put type r manifold on uk engine and see will it start. If it wont swap it back and swap cam and crank sensor and i'm pretty sure fuel pump relay supply. Let us know how you get on. If It's a uk engine would be better on on uk ecu.

Yeah Iv put my origanal loom that runs under the manifold so it had all stayed the same,, and was just going to remove the pins out the plug for ecu and swap them over there

I just wanted know if it's safe fire up on sti ecu,, least I know it fires up
Then fit uk ecu and swap wires etc,,,( if it doesn't fire up I know I done something wrong with wire swap )
