    Just wanted to say thanks for the advice on changing over the throttle body and manifold - Done this last night, only took about an hour and engine is running like it always was again. No ideling on 20000, no black smoke coming from exhaust. Very happy again Wudnt of been able to do it without the advice, was seriously scratching my head for ages tryna work out what was wrong with emmissions and idle. As I said, thanks

    (that is) 2.9 version throttle body

    Nah - still original management all obd1 (ecu, loom) just newer engine. (just gota put original throttle body from older engine back on this weekend to complete the engine) Some1 said that the newer one had about 20bhp more power. i take it thats rubbish then? How much extra power would the 2.9 version give?

    so if it is what they say (194 standard), how would i make it go above 200bhp - remapping the OBD1 ecu?

    i have just put new vr6 engine in my car, originally was a 93 reg but now running a 96/97 reg (one without the idle control valve). Heard alot of people say it is now 194bhp (from 174bhp) Is this true of just myth? Will a K&N really also add 5bhp or is this also rubbish?

    brill - i will change this this weekend (hopefully its easy to change?) By the way, the engine is now running very rich and ideling very high (I now can assume the high idle/fuel mix is because of the wrong throttle body and making the car idle way higher than expected)

    Out of interest - why does the original throttle body have to go back on the new(er) engine is it controlled by the obd2 ecu so as i have the obd1 ecu on there it needs the original throttle body to control it? (sorry if i sound dunb, but we all go to start somewhere)

    ur an absolute STAR x made it sounds very simple to understand I have left the throttle body on the new engine as it was (so better add the old throttle body back on to the engine) It was ideling very high. I take it it is a universal fitting Main engine management loom was left OBD1 Little loom was kept OBD1 Thats brill - so as long as I put the original throttle body back on then all is fine with the engine

    the engine is quite different - the original is 93 L reg and the new one is P reg 96/97. Looks like the new one doesnt have an idle control valve. All the Loom from the original fits the later engine. Just worried if running the ECU from the OBD1 engine is bad or can I keep it as it is as it seems to be running fine (dont really understand cars enough)

    Shit, quite a bit more work needed then. How come the engine works/runs on the old ecu... Is it dangerous driving it as it seems to run fine?

    My friend recently converted my 93 reg OBD1 to an OBD2 engine due to original being knackered. All went well with the conversion untill we realised there was no where to fit the chip key transponder box thing. Because of this we had to put the original wiring loom (OBD1) on the new engine (OBD2). Because of this the new ECU (OBD2) couldnt be fitted as it wont work without the new loom, chip key etc.... At the mo the car is working on the old ecu (OBD1) but am worried that some problems may be brewing. can anyone help as I still have the new ecy and loom if anyone knows how to fit this. Any hel

    the car is running fine with the OBD1 ecu, am just worried its the calm before the storm

    just converted obd1 engine to obd2, kept obd1 wiring loom in, will car run with obd2 ecu, with obd1 loom on obd2 engine
  14. twolf1
    wicked - thanks mate (thank god it can be done)- think i still got the obd1 loom in there, will the obd2 ecu run fine just plugged in once its been immobilised?

    Hi - i am having real problems with my VR6 ECU.. Ill try to keep this simple. I have just converted my 93 vr6 from OBD1 to an ODB2 engine as the engine was Knackered. During the conversion we realised the wiring loom from the OBD2 was not going to work as the connectors were different so I have now installed the OBD2 enfine with the OBD1 wiring loom.....Now the headache...... The ECU from the OBD2 didnt work as there was no where to plug the chip key and transponder in so have had to keep the original ECU (OBD1)..... car runs ok (ish) so really need an OBD2 ecu that i can just plug straight i
