seriously mate

you can't run the Xr2i engine of the 1.4 ECU as it won't be setup for the engine and will underfuel etc

research how eaxctly the Xr2i ECU works with the 1.4 Si PATS system

unless someone on here knows :thumbsup:

Not much of a technical whizz, but surely would be cheaper for you to find an ECU off a motor in a scrap yard than turn up at a place to re map one, even if it is possible??

If it doesnt work you dont have to mess with the PATs system.

XR2i full loom.

Stop faffing and just fit the proper stuff to save hassle. Trust me.
