93 turbo harness on a 91 na motor/ecu?

[87dsmer]

My daily 1.8 finally died and I'm looking for a fast solution to get back on the road. I have a 6 bolt 4g63 na motor from an auto parts car pulled out already but the only flywheel I have is from my awd project car that still needs pistons, handwork, and fmic. Could I drop the na motor into the awd and just swap ecu's? Bottom line is I now have 3 1gs in the driveway and cant drive any of them looking for the fastest most logical way back on the road

Yes, this should be possible. Trouble usually arises when you go the other way around, trying to put a turbo engine into a N/A car with N/A harness. Having the wires there isn't going to hurt anything when there's no sensors the ECU is looking at for feedback in order to run. The manual transmission obviously doesn't care whether the engine is N/A or not. Use the AWD flywheel with the AWD transmission and a turbo clutch and pressure plate. You'll need an injector resistor pack delete in order to use the N/A injectors and may want to swap in the N/A fuel pressure regulator as well. Aside from that, you should be good to go with the N/A ECU.

Good to know I could do it that way but after agonizing searching and planning I eventually found a reasonably priced flywheel and clutch combo so everything can go in the Talon DL next weekend and I can move forward with actually building the tsi
