Hi all, I bought a 5 Door PH3 straight diesel a few days ago for £280 to replace my d-turbo (RIP)
It was really cheap (280 quid with MOT to end of June) and, being a straight diesel, isn't very fast. I was just wondering if I would be able to swap the XUD9TE into it. I know that it'll fit on the same mounts but this car has an ECU which is throwing me off a bit, especially since i didn't think any mechanical diesel 306 had an ECU.
How would I go about making all this work? I don't even know where to begin so thought i'd ask all the Gurus on here. The shell of this car is fantastic and the axle is really tight and i love everything about the car apart from the way it goes. I also can't afford to buy another D-Turbo so please don't suggest doing that.
Many thanks!
