1.8VVt in to 92 MK1
HI Guys, not sure if this has been covered before but just looking for the correct way forward
do I need to swap the entire wiring loom from my 2.5 to the MK1 for doing the engine conversion ?
I had a quick look and the ECU plugs in the MK1 are different and Im running ME ECU in the 2.5
so just looking for some advice or if some one can point me in the right direction with regards to the wiring
Im a good bit away from the swap as Im in the process of welding up the floor, apart from the dash and the loom the car is basically a shell just now
TIA

You must not have read very well... the wiring is covered in the 2nd half of the very first post. Run the ECU that is in the car already or use a standalone unit like a Megasquirt. You can use the wiring harness from the donor car but reading more into that thread will try to sway you against that option.

I’m not an expert on this but I think the rule is to match the ECU to your harness and I agree with above that the public opinion is to not swap harnesses.
My 2 cents, if your switching to a vvt engine, buy an aftermarket ecu that lets you exploit some of its advantages.

@Boombastik you got it.
Also, I’m not sure where you are geographically located, but cannot recommend this company enough to assist with making the wiring adapters.
