If i would swap engines, ecu ??

What u guys think



i can buy one for 4800 USD inc shipping, is that a fair price?

My old engine has started to knock as hell, and i found metall pieces in the oil!!!!

My oil pressure went bad

what has been damage do you think

im thinking of buying a f20c2, and later on fix my old engine, but do i dare? or could there be Hard to install it in a US spec car?

dunno,
the harnesses could be different. I think you can find a USDM engine for less.

 

I will also have the harness from f20c2 (engine harness)

 

someone plz :-)

 

The engine is from UK i might say

Wouldnt this fit and run if a have the ECM aswell?, (i know ill have to reprogram the keys)...... same coonections? is the ECM plug 'n play?

Engine MY02 and my ca MY01

Please need answers (or speculations by someone who is good at this stuff)


Thanks in advance

Sorry for all this tricky questions

 

TTT

 

i'm sure it can be done, but its going to be a pain in the ass, since the f20c2 has less emissions equipment then the f20c1. I have the helm manual on cd which covers the f20c2 emissions equipment, which you may find useful. you'll probably need the ECU from an f20c2 car to get the wiring harness to plug into, and yes the dealer would need to reprogram the immobilizer before you can even start the car

 

that helms manual should be very useful!!

I did order that engine

Just hope that there would be no major problems installing it!

Wounder if i maybe can use US harness, and just plug the UK ECM right in? if the Emission parts aint supported by the ECM, isnt it just to remove em then?
Just some amateur thoughts :-) ??

Thanks

I have a F20C (JDM engine) in my USDM car. Everything is completely plug and play. The only thing different is that the JDM engine does not have a VTEC oil pressure sensor and I had to transfer that over from my original engine. Regarding ECUs, I am using my orginal USDM ECU and it works perfectly fine. I hope this helps.

BTW, the JDM F20C has 11.7:1 compression.

 

tHANKS MAN (and everybody else)

that totally cooled my nervs

Ill be starting this thread again if i run into some problemos



Thanks/
