Hi All
Ive got a 1993 tb42efi and it has alot of problems. People that use to own it befor me are saying it needs a new ecu.... But id like to know if i rip that motor out and put a tb42 carby in would i need to change the wiring loom?
Cheers Zoe

Dribble Master
Can you elaborate on what "alot of issues" are? Is it dual fuel or petrol only?
To rule out the ECU, do you know anyone else with an EFi that you might be able to borrow their ecu for a short time?

Its blowing heaps of blue smoke, seems to only be running on 2 cyclinders.
Its petrol.
No i wont be able to get hold of another ecu either.

I am he, fear me
ECU won't cause blue smoke... thats oil getting into the combustion chambers.
Would also be unlikely to be the ECU to drop 3 or 4 cylinders but possible I spose... much more likely to be injectors or spark
Changing the engine will fix both those issues but I wouldn't be going back to Carby unless I was 100% sure the ECU was toast and the engine was stuffed

Ill start checking for spark problems first, is it possible to test the ecu somehow?.

G'day mate, not to be stupid, but you haven't picked up some contaminated fuel by any chance have you?

By teh time you chase another motor to drop in you will likely buy another car. buy another car and use this as your parts car i'd say to be honest.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

First thing is to do a compression check. Then a compression check with a couple of small squirts of oil onto the bore of each cylinder. If the reading is significantly higher than before the oil, the rings are stuffed. If the reading is low and stays that way, suspect leaking valves.

Gday Everyone
We noticed that the raditor was using a fair bit of water very quickly so i assume that the head gasket is gone with this motor.
I was lucky enough to find another engine with the ecu still attached for $300, i will be replacing this engine with that one in the next coming months. Thank you for all your help.
