hey folks just a quick one i have a uk spec tt and i just swapped the engine from my jap spec one but know it wont start , i have fuel and spark and it cranks but wont fire i was just wondering if theres any difference between the engines, ecu or what else i need to check. any help and advice is gratefully recieved. thanks

In the engine not really and certainly nothing you would notice as a novice.

ECU wise again very minor and nothing that would stop it starting and running, so best do a quick diagnostic and see what codes your getting.

mapping on the ecu is different. plus auto/manual ecus are different eg. neutral switch. Would have thought the basic engine is the same though.

What he said lol.

There's a slight difference on the fan belt size but apart from what's already been mentioned they are the same.

cheers folks got it running now, turns out the timing was wrong, not sure how that happened because the doner car ran into workshop and sounded fine, we haven't removed the belt or touched the timing but it was between 5 and 8 teeth out on all four pulleys! retimed it now and it fired up first time just got to put the last bits and bobs on then time for a test drive ;)
