vr6 engine swap

[tyler]

hi im swapping engines in a vr6 i have a small issue the engine im taking out has a dizzy and the one i bought has a coil pack was wondering if i could get the dizzy on the coil pack engine or is it head swap. the coil pack engine has the loom but no ecu so converting i think is out o the question unless theres a simple way

Swap the heads?

Did the coilpack engine come with the throttle body?

You need to first find out wehter your coilpack engine is an OBD1 coilpack, or an OBD2.

As your dizzy engine is an OBD1.

And obviously there are huge changes to the management on each engines, so you cant use your old ecu.

Once you have found out what your engine is, you then need the correct ecu, loom, sensors etc to match.

And i dont think the obd1 and 2 engines share the same head exactly, due to something i read on vr6oc.

They dont share the same inlet and tb either.

Hi its a ob1 coil pack engine and a ob1 dizzy engine Everything is there apart from loom that goes into the fusebox and ecu dizzy engine is from a 1992 and the coilpack engine from a1993 model

Thing is you can't use the ecu that was designed run an engine with a dizzy, with an engine designed to run a coilpack. You need to get yourself the correct ecu and loom. Or another engine.
