turbo 2000 to sti help needed
hi all ive got a my00 turbo 2000 and ive got a complete sti engine and gearbox for it. Ive been told the wiring loom is different is this right? and is there any other things different?

Assuming you've bought an STi version 5 or 6 engine, you'd be looking at loom, instrument cluster, possibly DCCD controller if you have a Type R/RA box, and engine ECU. Plus smaller bits like the IAT sensor, intercooler water spray system (if you wanted to install it)
If you've got an engine from a car other than a 5/6 (especially an older one), then you're going to have a headache. |
its come out of a 1998 reg car its not got dccd wat is a IAT sensor?
|
Inlet Air Temp sensor, although by the sound of things that may be the least of your worries.
When you say it's come out of a '98 reg car, is it a version 4 (98MY) or an early version 5 (99MY)? Is the ignition coilpack in the centre of the inlet manifold, or on the left hand branch (i.e the same place as on your current engine)? |
Intake air temp. Sensor

Ooops. You've bought a version 4 engine, presumably with its 752 case gearbox. That's going to be a mare to get running in a 99/00 car, and isn't as good as STi5/6 bits anyway. Did the engine and box come with the correct rear diff and back end btw?

Sell the sti lump and use the Money to spend on your turbo2000 engine

why wats different on it? i was told it would be ok
R1c's suggestion is realistic. You'd be better off getting rid and working with what you've got. At least the ECU in your own car is mappable. |

You were told wrong. The fundamental problem is that the engine management on a 4 is completely different to that on a 5. You can get anything running if you dick about enough, but this would require a lot of dicking about and leave you stuck up a bit of a creek, in a number of ways.
