Default Urgent Help Needed!

Righty, my ECU is out and the AE reckons it's goosed! So I've to take my OFAB one from the FRST up to him later tonight.

Now, I was told when I first asked about this a couple of years ago, that the wiring loom in the Onion is almost the same as the FRST one, so I don't need to swap the whole loom, but there are a couple of mods required? A couple of wires need to be swapped over or something?

Does ANYONE know what needs done, or where to get a wiring diagram? Will it be in the Hayne's manual?

Also, I was advised that I needed the MAP sensor and ACT sensor from the FRST, so they'll be going up to him as well.

Is there anything else that anyone can advise that I might need, or need to be aware of?

Any info on a wiring diagram would be awesome!!

Cheers

Keir

cheers, that may come in handy.

Only thing is, my car was already EFi so has an EFi loom, not an MFi, so that might mean different alterations.

Does anyone know, were the XR2i's EFi? Would their loom be the same as my Orion one?

I've found a guide to changing an XR2i to Ofab? Would this be of any use?
