nick 3 Posted February 27, 2006 A mate of mine has bought a gti-6 engine with no loom or management. He is wondering if he could use the loom from an Mi16 to run it? Would all the sensors, such as the tdc and tpc match up? If not, has anyone got an s-16/gti-6 loom etc.. that he could buy? Thanks, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted February 27, 2006 you might find it difficult to use the mi16 loom due to dizzy drive issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nick 3 Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks lads, any other issues that he should worry about? I reckon he should just find the correct loom and be done with it. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted February 28, 2006 I agree with DrSeuss here...the GTi6 lacks the dizzy drive so you can't use the Mi management. Swapping an inlet cam is also not possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huckleberry 0 Posted February 28, 2006 I don't see the advantage of driving a modern-esce engine like that with an old management like the MI. Try and find a GTI-6 management. Should drive smoother incl. idle and you could use TBs on it someday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
