Hi there. I'm pretty certain that you won't be able to do just the ECU swap. You can do a full Motronic swap, by swapping cylinder head, inlet and exhaust manifolds, fuel rail, injectors and engine loom, ECU etc. It's considered by many to be a worthwhile modifcation, you get the higher compression early engine with the later, smoother, more reliable injection system. The ETK lists different radiators pre and pst facelift. ------------- 1981 E23 735i 1989 E30 325i Motorsport Cabrio 1989 E24 635CSi Motorsport Edition http://www.bavarianretro.com" rel="nofollow - Bavarian Retro Cars |

hi! i, turned off the caps lock! my apologies, my car is the early" high compressision",1987, 9.7 to 1 model, l just wondered if there was a plug n play 35 pin connector ecu, which gave less trouble with its hybrid switch for ignition amplifier, than the original motronic 1.0, no. 0261 200 073, i believe ecu 081 which was around the same time as my cars fitment, was plug n play, but was it less troublesome, |
re its internals? best regards tommy. ps great site.Posted By: tzhao
