northernVR 0 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi All, Been doing a fair bit of browsing around here for a while now and decided it was time to join up and post some bits I'm still in need of knowing. I've had my 16v Corrado for about a year now and as much as I love driving it, I've really been toying the idea of sticking a VR in it. I managed to purchase an AUE engine from a lad down in Devon at a bargain price of £50 although admittedly, it came with no ancillaries, looms or ECU etc. So has anyone on here used the AQP,AUE,BDF engine in their Corrado? Are the ECU's interchangeable on them? Will any looms from any of the engines work with it? Link to post Share on other sites
RBPE 198 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 The older stuff is Motronic - usually M2, 3 or 5 whereas the newer 24V stuff uses ME7.1.1. - 3rd post down explains the differences; Also, there are single VVT engines like the AUE and dual VVT like the BDE so ecu's have all the exhaust cam controls missing on the earlier ones so use the right mk4 24v ecu otherwise more work/DTC's to code out. I've not done it myself but it'd probably be easier using MAF/Injectors/pedal box anything else which is noted in the above thread really, from the mk4 and code out any DTC's for parts you don;t have attached.
