#1: what's missing from my engine kit? Author: TheWhiteRasta, Location: North East EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 7:39 am ---- Hi I got an engine conversion kit from a brakers yard it's a 3.0L v6 (ES9 J4)from a 406 coupe. I'm a bit of a novice, I got it for educational purposes really I want to learn from it and hopefully put it in a 206 van one day myself. The thing is I got it yesterday and I need to let the bloke know by Monday morning if there is anything missing before the car goes. I intend to get the engine running completely independently on my garage floor but I think I'm missing a few things here's the list:
complete engine (all sensors, starter, coil packs, injectors, pumps etc)
complete engine bay loom no cuts
Single plug ECU + Key
Engine bay fuse box
Fuel pump + tank
Exhaust
I asked him about the immobiliser he said he didn't know what it looked like or where it was? As far as I understand mine is the earlier non BSI type? I only just heard the word multiplexing recently lol. So is it just a little black box somewhere? And will I need some sort of receiver & some wiring around the ignition barrel?
Any help would be much appreciated cheers

Yes its a learning curve, but walk before you can run
