If I was you I wouldnt run it at all without the correct MAF and ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboboyo Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Another question guy's Can i run the deep ecu with thr 1600 maff, box, and injectors until i switch over to the correct 2ltr gear. or should i continue running on the 1600 managment until i have the bits??

Ill be totally honest, i'd stop driving the car dude until you get all the correct bits. Be difficult to say whats worse to be fair, the MAF is such an important part.

scottybo Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 in fairness he shouldnt do any damage to the engine at all, the whole system will run thinking its a 1.6. the car will underfuel majorly at high rpm as the injectors and rest of the set up wont know that the engine needs more fuel as its bigger. so other than being massively underpowered it wont cause him any damage. i had a friend who ran a fiesta si with a 2l in and it was fine for about 6 months (albeit underpowered as i said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if he must run the car the question remains the same, whats worse? I cant see the point swapping the ECU before the rest of the bits.

I cant see the point swapping the ECU before the rest of the bits. the engine will run hot if the mixture is out. but seein as hes using the 1.6 maf. ecu. and injectors. the mixture will be correct but at higher rpm the engine will be starved and act like its choked up.

Same difference? fair one i suppose That kind of depends on how hard its driven and for how long before putting right gear on it I guess.. Unless its dumping a ton of fuel down it I cant see a problem if only short term..But thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madeinbg Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 hey guys, kind of a same question... but not really i swaped my 1.6 (external edis) with 2.0 zetec, changed the maf, injectors, TB and inlet manifold. So, its time to start it. I have ecu with DESK code, but i don`t wanna cut my wires, so is it ok to run it with ecu from xr3 1.8 zetec 130ps? Is there a difference in the management? i hope that with this ecu i wont change pins and cut wires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It will run but not to its potential, if you need it for a couple of days, it will do the job but it's not ideal as a permanent solution, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
