8V ECU will it work with same year 16v?
« on: November 24, 2005, 12:09:30 PM »
I can get a 94 4dr kick with a bad motor pretty cheap, and i can also get a 16v 94/95 motor pretty cheap.

Am i going to need a 16v ecu fort eh swap to my samurai or will the 8v ecu work?

thanks

The 8 valve ECU will not work with the 16 valve

Apples to oranges, doesn't have the programing to run the system.

The 4 door should be a 16 valve, buy them both and fix the foor door.

The four door is a 2wd and edmunds.com lists that model as a 8v engine.....as far as i can find on the net anyway.

And part of the reason for buying it is to get the ECU and other engine bay materials necc for a samurai swap, so if the ecu is not compatible there isnt much sense in buying it Im afraid.


But thanks for the info guys.

If you can get someone to pop the hood maybe it is a 16 valve that would help right?
