Guest Olly_K Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 i'm not sure what the differences are apart from everything you'll be swapping anyway. That helps a lot, i know, sorry Link to post Share on other sites
wilko-vr6 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 i notice that the wires leading to the maf sensor,and possibly the lambda sensor and possibly another sensor,appear to come out of the bulkhead near to the servo.i was wondering whether these are in fact a common item between the two engines,and that they infact won't need changing,just the ecu under the windscreen and the loom to the block are all that are needed?

acf8181 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 surely if you remove the tb, injectors, etc off your current engine and place them on the new one you can plug it in as an obd1...the actual mechanical bits of the engine are identical as a far as i know. hope you understand what i mean, easier than changing the whole loom.[ Edited Sat Jun 12 2004, 10:44PM ][ Edited Sun Jun 13 2004, 10:42AM ] Link to post Share on other sites

VRmonster 1 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 lol. yeah it is a bit too bright. oh, and the connector for the maf is different between obd 1+2 so you would either have to use the obd1 maf, or change the loom. if you change it, sell me your obd1 loom Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 this better? hehejust thought i'd colour code my posts to my car! [ Edited Sun Jun 13 2004, 04:39PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
wilko-vr6 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 didn't think that the obd1 and 2 engines were similar!what about the dizzy on the obd1 as opposed to the obd2 being coil pack?????now i'm confused!!!! %-6 Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 obd 1 has coilpack as well but think the ecus are different Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 only very very early OBD1's had dizzy, '92 cars i think. my '93 has a coilpack.my point is if you took all the ancileries off (inc both manifolds) surely you could then bolt on the obd1 stuff that you already have, and it'd work as an obd1. the block/head/cams are the same on all are they not?

wilko-vr6 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 hmmmmmmm!mine has dizzy,and the block i have got coming is coilpack!the dizzy is mechanical,and the coilpack is electric?so if i was to use my ecu,etc.then surely i'd need to fit a dizzy to the coilpack engine?entailing what?

VRmonster 1 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 my 93 has dizzy.... so it must have changed over mid year. and im sure that it would just be a case of mounting and connecting it, although i dont know if its ecu controlled. an etka cd may be usefull here. ill have a look as soon as i have it. lol. cheers andrew.

acf8181 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 talk to phatvr6...i'm sure i remember him syaing thats its very simple to convert coilpack to dizzy and vice versa. you've got the bits from your original engine after all. he'll also be able to confirm my theory Link to post Share on other sites
MarkGolf 6 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 On my corrado VR6 it has some random box on the near side of the car, next to where the cam chains are... with 2 fuses in it.. what is that? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 that's the ecu which controls fan speeds Link to post Share on other sites
