wireing loom

[mk3phill]

are the ecu/engine wireing looms the same for a motronic 4.4 and for a 2.5 10v??

[timbo_1975]

No.

the 2.5 10 is the only motor to use the fenix 5.1 system , which uses a map sensor, and just a temp sensor where the MAF would normally be.

The ISCV is also different from the bosch application, but it's still a 2-wire component.

The 10 valvers dont use a variable length intake manifold like the na 20v's do.

Does this help?

yer thats great man,... least i know ill have to swap complete engine looms now aswell

[timbo_1975]

Are you swapping t5 motor into the place of a 2.5 10v then?

[mk3phill]

not quite,but engine swap,.yes in near future. had some fun with my 10v 2.5 but its time to up the game,.. but the car as a whole is so clean i dont want to be rid of it tbh. i know i could just buy a T5 and be done with it but where's the fun in that if i can rebuild soemthing myself for no extra cost :P ;)

[timbo_1975]

I wondered, as i have a totally mint '97 100k 2.5 10v S70 that I use day to day, and to find a similarly tidy T5 low miles would be probbaly nigh on impossible, so it had crossed my mind about dropping in a T5 motor when the time came, but the feasibility / botherment of the job kinda put me off... (if you do it, make some notes for future reference can you!)

Tim..

[mk3phill]

will do man,.. for me its just the next step really to the motor i really want. although i aint using a T5 im gonna build my own engine'ish
