Hi guys ,

I'm in great need of some advice ,

Currently in the middle of an rs2000 engine swap into a mk6 escort

Engine is in , everything mechanically is sound and fits

I'm planning on wiring it up this weekend but I'm struggling to get my head around it

(Even with haynes manual)

When I brought the engine I got:

Engine complete with box

Drive shafts

Hubs / brakes

Subframe

And a box full of wiring looms (presumably from the whole car, not had a proper chance to look)

ecu and ignition barrel transponder (no barrel or keys)

I was told that it was from a mk5 rs

But I'm not sure

( the seller I brought off will not reply)

I've quoted the ecu numbers etc in another thread people have said it's showing it's come out of a MK6 rs2000 with the dreaded PATS system :/

I don't have the key :(

So now I'm not sure if the engine is out of a mk5 (and they have given me the wrong or a random ecu and loom) or is it out of a mk6 ?

Is there anyway I can tell what the engine is out of ?

I've been going through the ecu plug loom i have been given for continuity and it's near enough the same to a mk5 pin out according to haynes manual

I've also have a separate prepats ecu (1abg) in the garage which I know for sure has come from a mk5 rs from a mate ages ago when he smashed his car round a tree

Will this run on a mk6 rs2000 pats loom ?

Could I just bridge the pats box on the loom and use the prepats ecu?

(Assuming the loom I have got is a match to the pats ecu I was sent and I've not got a load of random stuff all from different cars)

Cliffs

- what's the difference between mk5 and mk6 rs looms?

- if it is a mk6 loom , could I bridge over the PATS and run the non pats ecu?

-did the mk6 rs have external or internal edis ?

(I've got an edis 4 unit and the plug in connector on the ecu loom that came with engine )

Any help would be appreicated as it's making my head hurt now

Thanks
