VX V6 into VR?
hey, i currently have an old bmw which has a VR engine in it, which is stuffed.
Im considering dropping a VX ecotec engine in, can i use the VR wiring loom/ecu?
are there any other issues to consider?
I did a search but couldnt find anyone who had done this

From what I've seen (and a bit of guesswork), when you buy a complete Ecotec engine - any model - you will normally get the wiring and the ECU from the car the engine came out of. A possible problem would be the transmission - if it's auto you will need the proper 4L60E to match the VX ECU....if the BMW is manual then you need the VX ECU for a manual car.

In that case if you want to keep the old box then I'd source another VR motor and avoid all the electrical and trans hassles that are bound to happen.Originally Posted by ryan1980
Use another Buick engine, otherwise you'll need to change a lot of things.
You can make it work but it needs a lot of modification/stuffing around
what sort of stuffing around, care to elaborate?
