VTS Conversion... 2348234th one?

[Nathan-HxC]

Ok so I'm getting annoyed and confused about reading all this crossover loom shit, so am hoping to have some light shed on me.

What is the full list of things needed for a VTS conversion, from an early 2000 VTR (single plug ECU)?

Ideally a 2000 VTS would be the engine to go for, but my car being the early single plug, does that mean that a MK1 VTS engine will fit straight in?


Is there a full informative guide or anything on here? As it's incredibly annoying having to scrape bits of information from several threads, putting it together and then having certain bits not match :(

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

engine, ecu and loom. i am just using my 1.1 box til i get my ax gti one refurbed. the things i have had to buy for the engine because it either didnt have or i would need are: 16v radiator, fan, throttle body, throttle cable, crank sensor and exhaust gasket. i am using the starter and alternator off my 1.1. and i also already have a fuel return on my car. got a 4 branch thats going on and a lightened fly wheel. oh and i need some shiney rocker cover bolts to go with the polished covers ;)

yes the gti loom i had was slightly different. but my mate was scrapping his mk1 vts so we used it as a donor car. got the ecu, loom and a few other parts. the only other minor problem was on the first run out it blew a hole in the backbox
