Hitachi ti Bosch?

[shadowbroker]

I thought about swapping a complete hitachi engine setup for a bosch setup. I guess to to that i need a matched ecu and loom as hitachi seems not to be odb2?

I think you mean OBD2 , and not so mine is Hitachi and consult, Big job though! :thumbs

Yeh I've been told that the keys, ecu and key reader are all matched together, so you will have to get keys, ignition barrel and key reader aswell as ecu all from the same vehicle!!

Wont be able to as injectors in head are totally different so you'd have to change the head too

To change from one to the other is certainly possible, but you will need a complete doner vehicle particularly if swapping to Bosch as you will need a box as well, personally I do not think it worth the bother, just changing the loom is a nightmare, Rick

Agreed, I'd rather sell up and get a bosch running

Thanks guys. I might eventually do that. Just is not any rust in this one. Under carpet is fine, arches fine, seatbelt anchers are fine, even the front bumper mounts are fine

I have to admit, the Bosch seems a lot stronger and smoother to drive but I'd certainly have another Zexel again without hesitation

A cheaper option is a replacement Zexel engine, I have one if you require it, I was keeping it for myself but if you want it, it will pay for a recon pump for mine which is the only problem I have, the springs are failing and I get low down surging, but I can live with that, short term Rick

Rick I have a Bosch Pump if you need one from a 98

Thanks for the offer but mine is a Zexel that is why I was keeping the good engine as spare but would only go to the effort of changing it over or just the pump if mine packed up completely or got a lot worse than it is, but as most of my motoring is round town local low speed I can live with it, Rick

No probs matey :thumb2

Almost all Mavericks I see are Zexel setups, I presume the Bosch stuff was experimental at the time Ford were re-branding Teranos?
