Will a 96 ecu work with a 92 eg33
Well I have a lead on a 96 ecu wich is obd2 just like my car. I have the 92 svx harness now getting merged so I cannot back out of that. Will it work? If so what do I have to splice into the harness for sensors? Thanks guys I know I am a PIA!

Re: Will a 96 ecu work with a 92 eg33
Depends on the chassis I believe.. I think you can install a 92 engine into a 96 chassis and it will work. I don't think you can just put a 96 ECU into a 92 chassis because 96 was OBDII and the wiring and engine management was different.
Basically your ECU will be looking for signals that aren't there and trying to send signals that may have nowhere to go. Think O2 sensors 92 have 2 pre cat. OBDII have 3 (2 pre one post cat). Hope that helps. EDIT: When I initially read this I must have read too quickly. It sounded like you wanted to put a 96 ECU in a 92 car... sorry Last edited by sowise; 04-05-2010 at 05:05 AM. |

I believe he is putting a EG33 engine into a 99 legacy, I think you might need the 96-97 wiring or you will need lots of patience and splicing your factory with the 92 harness wiring. Thats speculation on my part based on responses.

Re: Will a 96 ecu work with a 92 eg33
That is what I am working on and I can get around emmisions, but before I finish up the wiring for the 92 ecu and harness I was wondering what other sensors are added to the obd2 Eg33. I guess I need to go over the wiring diagram for a 96-97 Svx. Anyone have one?

I think the main difference will be a 3rd O2 sensor, behind the main cat. Your legacy should have the cat there so you will just need to splice wiring, after you find the pin locations. |

Does that mean that they will not plug in an emissions computer detector? I guess all they will do is check for cats (which will be there), look for exhaust leaks, and check for cels?

I can't answer for sure I don't think that is part of the emissions testing as of now but I will check with my brother hes a VW mechanic with an inspection liscence.
