vrgram 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 just wanted to know if I can just change the throttle body on an obd2 engine and then fit it into my obd1 car as I don't want to change the ecu,transponder, keys, loom, clocks etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 noOr to be more helpful: No, the fittings are different. You would need to change the entire inlet manifold, at least... Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 You can convert an OBD1 engine to OBD2 management, but to do this, you need the complete engine loom, throttle body, inlet manifold, ECU, MAF, transponder ring and key from an OBD2 VR. You might be able to get around needing the key & transponder if you get the immobiliser programmed out of the ECU. This is a fairly popular conversion on supercharged VR Corrados.
