91 na to vvt supercharged
I am picking up a wrecked 01 nb tomorrow for a good deal, running driving car but the body is completely done. I have a 91 that I would like to swap everything over, complete wiring harness, engine, trans, rear end, and dash. Looking for opinions on this swap. I have a lift and pretty much every tool you could need. Engine swaps aren't anything new to me, I have a LS powered FD as well, just looking for some input from people who have done VVT swaps.

What sort of opinion are you looking for?
|
Why swap complete harness + dash from the '01? Why make more work for yourself then you need to. There's plenty of threads here on the VVT swap into the 1.6 cars.

Well my dash is cracked so that is reason number one, the thought of obd2 to scan is nice, I can use the trans and have an electrical speedo. I haven't looked too much into the forums for the vvt swap how it is typically done.
You mentioned OBDII. |

So you're also going to use the stock ECU? Which one?

Swapping engine and using existing wiring is a weekend.
Swapping everything including wiring loom and dash will take weeks and weeks. You sure bro? |

Have you read the VVT swap megathread?
If not go do it before you ask any more questions. |

VVT ECU expects a constant 60psi of fuel pressure. Its not 1:1.

I swapped a complete VVT setup out of a 2001 car into a 1994 a few weeks ago. Needed OBDII for emissions when it becomes an Exocet. Pulled the complete NA harness and replaced with NB. Had to drill one extra hole in the center of the firewall for NB engine harness. Runs stock ECU from NB.
It was not terribly difficult. Took a bit over a weekend. You can swap over the NB fuel lines and the NB fuelpump/tank unit. I did not swap the fuel pressure sender and got a check engine but other than that it worked great. Fuel lines can be installed without dropping the tank but it's not recommended. PM me if you have questions. It's not as bad of an idea as people are leading you to believe. |

They expect you to use an aftermarket ecu to control vvt.

If you want to supercharge properly you need to change over to an aftermarket ecu anyway right? Yes, yes you do. :)
