You'll need the entire loom from the donor RS2000, including the PATS coil for round the ignition coil. Not to mention the original key that's programmed into the ECU's PATS system. Infact, AFAIK were early Ford PATS systems not seperate from the main engine managment? (Tim... ?)
I've found in any engine transplants I've done, seperating the engine loom from the interior loom as much as possible aids diagnosis. Once you know all sensors are connected as they were in the donor vehicle, you can track down faults far easier.
Well no, not really, both engines run EEC-IV and E-DIS and both engines use exactly the same sensors (tho positioned differently) with the exception the I4 has a CPS and runs sequential injection, whereas the CVH Efi batch fires them all at once.
Where there's a willy wanting to do it, there's a way. I've done a C25XE into a Corsa B (V6) - totally different mounts, totally different wiring, totally different shafts.
