7mgte swap no spark

Busted Knuckles · 11-27-2008, 02:16 PM

As far as the knock sensors, the N/A only has one. The Turbo has two. I'm guessing you have the wrong wire harness, and it is not going to work well for you. Did the original engine use coil paks? My 7M-GE still has a distributor, and, therefor, needs a different ignition system to run coilpaks. You need to pull the ECM and wiring harness from the old car and transfer all of that to yours. A N/A ECM will not run a turbo engine well at all. I used to have a link to a proper N/A to turbo swap, and remember that all the N/A gear, including ECM, wiring harness, MAF sensor, et. al. needed to be swapped with it.

thank you for replying to my thread first off, and i did swap the wiring harness and ecm, and MAF, coil packs ignition , cam positioning sensor, intake, fuel rail with turbo injectors cam covers for the coil packs, everything that had to be swapped is swapped over off the other car. Right now i am leaning to maybe my timing is completly off but not sure because all we did was take the distrubuter out and put the cam positioning sensor in we did not alighn anything so i am going to try and see if it's the timing thanks again for replying
