waynos 0 Posted January 15, 2009 ive been thinking about converting my g60 to 20vt for some time and i have a few questions. I know it will be easier to find the engine on its own rather than with clocks, ecu, immobilisers and all that gubbins. So ive been on qpengs website and they do an ecu kit already mapped for various different engine codes. I want to know if you had any problems during your installation or anything i should look out for. Im not necessarily after monster power (would be nice) but i do want a newer engine.It seems to look very simple to put together on their site - just after advice so i can go into this conversion with a little insight unlike my last engine swap! I would use my old megasquirt kit but i really cannot be arsed to go through all that again (plus its destined to go into my mk1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Never used or seen it but apparently it really is as easy as it sounds, just need the engine and loom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted January 16, 2009 I adapted the 20v loom to a golf mk2 engine loom, was only about 5 wires, then got ecu de-immobilised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted January 16, 2009 ive done it, it really is a doddle. i converted mine in about 2 weeks of evenings and weekends. also done the conversion on my mates golf. we both built the loom ourselves (electricians by trade) to save some money. if you bought the loom ready made it would be even easier. we had the engine stripped of all its ancilleries and unnecessary bits and on the mounts in my car in about 3 hours. software is excellent, Ben is very helpful and the service is excellent. dont think you can ask for more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted January 16, 2009 I've got a mate who did the conversion in his 9A 16v using the QPeng kit, and he had it done in a weekend, start to finish. He said it was easy as pie :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted January 16, 2009 its the way to go for plug and play. I have two friends who went this route. It is a sensible choice. I just have no sense. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KHAWAR16 0 Posted January 19, 2011 the plug on my golf was a 5pin that powers the ecu on the corrado its 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waynos 0 Posted January 20, 2011 you will have to trace the wires back to the ecu and splice into the corrado loom. Ill have a look for the wiring diagram over the weekend for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Not being funny but did you try contacting Qpeng about this? I have it on good advice from a friend that they are more than helpful with adivce if you have an issue with your install. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
