Batler182 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi guys,Just a quick one, my 2.9 engine has blown and I've been offered a decent cheap 2.8 with no ancillaries as a temporary fix while I rebuild my 2.9. Will it be a straight swap? Link to post Share on other sites

Batler182 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've just realised the 2.8 doesn't come with an ecu. It would run well on a corrado ecu would it?Are things like injectors and manifolds interchangeable? Link to post Share on other sites
Batler182 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 From what I've read, the ecu will work but I may need a remap. Link to post Share on other sites
GordonC 20 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 It might need a remap to sort the fuel and bring the rev limit down but thats it mate apary from that it will be fine Link to post Share on other sites
GordonC 20 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Unless you swap the cams over then I recon it would be fine without the remap Link to post Share on other sites
