just thought i would pop this on the forum in case anyone has the trouble i had getting this bloody thing to work:
initially i tried to use an evo ecu which had been socketed but when loaded with an evo map etc and connected it wouldnt fire up, it popped away trying to ignite
i then got my RVR ecu socketed: this didnt work with evo bin and xdfs and i struggled to find RVR bins and xdfs to suit, the ones i did get wouldnt work either
i was then pointed towards a site discussing a man who wanted to run an RVR engine on evo wiring loom and ecu and came across the info as to why mine would not start the first time round:
its is because the RVR coilpacks are inverted when compared to an evo, so if you either swap leads 1&4 to 2&3 or switch the coilpacks around then this will compensate for that fact
i found on my RVR that everything else worked as it should to like the fuel pump relay, fan and AC which i read may have different pinouts, although i would suggest checking this before thinking all is well and good
anyways i hope this helps anyone who gets stuck, and i would like to thank miodrag for sending me files to try and get my project up and running
