Hi guys

I'm new to the site as just bought my first Sierra Sapphire Cosworth as a restoration project.
Just getting it recovered from Derby so bit of a mission lol.

It needs quite a few items including engine for a J plate 4x4 but finding hard to track down a L8 ECU.

any ideas where to look 

Any help much appreciated

Same person for engine maybe ?

 

Yes mate he breaks cossie for a living so probably got everything you need and at reasonably prices to.

 

Sweeet lol, will get in touch with him soon.

Can't wait to start on the car and begin thread soon as poss

Cheers bud

 

i sold my L8 the other week and im only down the road from you in slough mate

had the chip and 4x4 loom too

 

Also, try Gary @ RS Classics as he is down the M4 at Bristol - i popped in there at the weekend and there were several engines to choose from.

In fact im sure most breakers will have a choice of engines.

 

Gutted lol, just what I needed

Thanks for that, will try both.

If you hear of any more let me know

Cheers

 

if you need an L8 and a loom, but will then want closed loop, wasted spark and anti-lag then you may aswell just go aftermarket management now mate as it will work out cheaper - thats why i sold my L8 stuff as going Omex.

 

ran how much cheaper is it exacly?!

 

well ive just spent £836 inc delivery for an Omex 600 ECU and fully terminated loom made by Omex themselves. This ECU includes all the functions as standard such as closed loop, wasted spark, anti-lag, launch control, etc

So if you were in my position where you had to buy everything, such as L8 ECU, loom, wasted spark board, closed loop and anti-lag - this would have worked out more than what i paid and you would still be using an old loom.

With this everything is new and you also have the added benefit that if something goes wrong its only one sensor that needs looking at

 

sounds good, shame i got wasted spark but the l8 seems a very capable system according to reports. How much is a new loom then as i think that may be worth replacing as its 20years old

 

Burtons do one £450 I think they do come up on here about 300
I agree with ran an aftermarket ecu n loom has got to be the way to go try eBay .
