Hi there
I'm looking at doing an engine conversion from a 1.5L 4G15 (12v i think?) to a 2.0L 4G63T. I am in australia and so dont have the eclipse (would have been the ideal engine to use as it is FWD), so I was going to use an engine from the evo 1-3 with a FWD gearboax. the swap is very straightfoward, however, my concern lies with the ecu. i dont know much about the ecu and harness and want to clear some things up. 1st of all, if i use the engine from an evo, can i use the harness and ECU from it as well (even though i'm not going AWD - i'm not sure if the ecu controls anything with that). I know someone who has done the conversion himself from the US with an eclipse engine and ecu/harness and it worked flawlessly. i have 3 options available
1) (easiest) use an evo 1-3 engine/FWD gearbox and evo ecu and loom
2) use an evo 1-3 engine with an eclipse ecu/harness (sent from the US)
3) (hardest) use an eclipse engine and ecu/harness (all come from the US)
they will all cost me roughly the same though. again i would get the elipse engine straight away (as i know it works), but again i'm not sure, as we have the driver on opisite sides - will that affect anything?? is there anywhere where i can get detailed information on the ecu/harness etc for the 4G63T??
Thanks!
