bobbo Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Right, some searching on the forum i have come the conclusion that the 1.4 16v (75hp) engine and the 100hp engine are the same - Correct?Also found out that the sport has a fly by wire throttle as opposed to the cable in the non sportSo i'm wondering whether the ECU from the 100hp engine can be re-mapped to run on a cable throttle and plugged into a 75hp engine?I know i'm not going to get 100bhp out it if this is posible due to lighter fly wheel, exhaust ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my 75hp is F.B.W so it must be late cars of both types that have itIt hard to see wher the extra 25hp comes from like!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Early sports (e.g. a V reg) are cable throttle. The same may be true of the 1.4 75bhp too. Edited April 14, 2008 by jon_273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 peak power on a sport is 1000rpm higher than a 75hp a, peak torque is also 1000rpm higher also. I think its just the larger throttle body and engine map. The 's' ecu is easier to map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 So if my 1.4e has drive by wire, what would happen if i plugged a 1.4 sport drive by wire ECU into it, sorry if its a dumb question, not mechanically or tech minded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the TB on my SE and its the smallest thing i ever saw! only 50mm!anyone know the size of the TB on a sport?I would also like to know what would happen if a sport ecu was connected to a 75 hp - guessing it would not run?

bobbo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 So what if i got an early cable operated sport ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciroccotune Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 So what if i got an early cable operated sport ecu?sorry to hi jack but what would a FBW sport ecu do in my FBW 75hp non sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) thats exactly what i'm asking mate, as i've heard that the non sport engine is exactly trhe same as the sport Edited April 14, 2008 by bobbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 not sure what the size is on the 4 motion think its smaller so might work but you will need a remap to get it to work or it will be a big waste of time . i had a sport throttle body on my 1.4 and it ran like crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
