xe ecu's

[stafford]

how many different coil pack xe ecu's are there im after the codes.
ive got the loom and engine but dont know wat ecu i need cheers.

[stafford]

ive found one on egay code PT no-one bid on it its mine, ive be looking along time for one

[loggyboy]

I dont think there are any difference as there are no imobilsers etc. Its just a matter of early 2.5 motronic or late 2.8 - I know i got swapped mine with no issues, i dont even remember checking the codes.

[BIGS]

Ive been told that it dont matter what ecu you use as it will work with the early or late engine. But apparently if you use the early one its a better ecu and you get abit of a gain.

Nah it wont/\
The later management is completely different to early, it has DISpak, different air flow meter, air intake temp sensor, cam sensor etc.

so who told me that hasnt a clue there going on about then

Correct!lol

[Ste L]

unless they are talking about early meaning 20xe -no cat with dissy,
and late meaning c20xe, with cat and dissy

Surely a lambda-less type ECU wont be of any use on a C20 lambda equipped engine?

As Ste said basically.

it will, it will run the engine, i did this on my xe, as i couldn't be ****d putting a lambda in the manifold, as it didn't have a hole for it, and it ran fine :thumb:

Ahh right.
I assumed he meant late and early management versions.

To answer stafford's question tho, you'll just need a DISpak xe ecu.
Should work fine.
