does a series 2 ecu work ok on a series 1??????

i have fitted a series 2 ecu on my last series 1 & it worked ok but some people say it doesnt work??????

cheers

 

Pretty sure it wont as the S2 has a Knock Sensor.

 

ita shouldnt due to the fact the s1 dont have a knock sensor and the s2 ecu needs it, the s1 ecu fits the s2 though as the knock sensor aint needed

 

will it cause any damage if it does work then??????

 

Dont do it.

 

think the point is as christian says, dont do it ffs

get a s1 ecu or wire up a knock sensor and leave it in the side of the engine (as there was shit anyway )

ecu needs to know all sensors are working for it to work

 

ok i'll sell the series 2 ecu then & buy a series 1 ecu.

 

 

Whats a knock sensor??? I'm going to be fitting S2 stuff to my S1 loomed cabbie soon and this sounds quite important

 

its just a sensor on the side of the injection system mate.

all people are saying is asl;omg as u keep the right ecu with the right engine ur ok

 

Cool, S2 lump and S2 ECU's.

 

here is a pic of the knock sensor (circled in pic)

 

yeah s2 lumo with s2 inlet manifold and s2 loom

other wise get s1 ecu and any erst engine and ya will be ok

 

i have a series 1 loom if u need 1 billy??

series 2 loom will fit but ur'll have 2 fit a mk4 dashboard ect....

 

Cheers both, i already have a S1 loom fitted mate and want to stick to the S1 interior.
I may have to try and get hold of some S1 ECU's then as the S1 loom wont have all the right connections for the S2 lump

 

loads of standard series 1 ecu's going on ebay cheap at the min mate

 

this is as quoted by BILLABONG!

i asked how u can tell a series 1 ecu from a series 2............he rely'd.....

By the colours/pictures on the sticker on the case.

Series 1 is blue red blue
blue red white is 86 spec s2
blue red black is 88 spec s2
hearts, diamonds is 90 spec s2

this is my question???
the blue/red/white ecu is from an 86 spec rs turbo. the 86 spec rs turbo didnt have a knock sensor so will this wok on a series 1???????

 

Good point................anyone?
