#1: One for the electrical experts Author: dervman, Location: North WestPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:59 am ---- One for the electrical experts to get their teeth into
I currently drive a (tatty) 206 with the 2.0 HDi engine.
Anyway engine is sweet and pulls well however I'm longing for a more retro looking car (No offence just the 206 is too new if you catch my drift!)
So i've decided as a bit of a challenge I'm going to strip the 206 of its engine and box and fit it to an old skool Ford.
Right, the physical transplant and mechanicals are no problem and I can complete them with few or no issues (I hope ) however its the electrical side I need some advice on.
Ideally (as i'd be cheaper and I already have it) it'd be good to keep the 206 ECU etc. Problem is the car I've got is Multiplexed and I'm not sure exactly what is controlled by this system that the ECU may rely on. So I was wondering can the Interior wiring (bar the dials) be removed, just leaving what would effectively be an engine bay loom with ECU and fuel tank wiring?
Failing that I'll go down the stand alone ecu route.
Any advice, no matter how small, will be gratefully received
ps, does anybody know where I can get a wiring diagram from (52, 2003 2.0 HDi btw)

Why put Peugeot anything into anything else, I reckon you could put something better than a pug derv engine into a retro car.

Your going to buy a mexico or an old escort and put a desisel engine in. just seems a bit silly. When people see a sweet classic like the escorts they expect it too make a nice noise, not sound like a tractor!

I hate the styling of modern cars but like the reliability and fuel economy. The conversion will only cost me for any service/unique parts needed as I'm capable of all the labour.
Its an old school Fiesta btw.
Its not that bad of an idea when you actually think about it......
I have the Pug already and the engine is good, fuel efficient and reliable, so why buy something else which will, in effect, do the same thing! The Pug isn't worth selling as its too tatty. So why not take the good part from it and use it in something else?
The car is being built as my daily driver btw so I don't want a big power petrol car........my track car (which is next on the list of projects) will cover that corner

You make a good argument, but the words Peugeot and reliable dont seem to go together to me BUT if I recall correctly I think you do have the more reliable pug engine, either way mate it would be good to see and I hope you make a progress thread for us to nosey at

I'll put a progress thread up once I get it started

Thanks.
I suppose what I need to know is is the ecu capable of running with out bsi connected (isn't immobiliser and alarm etc integrated?) and where do the dials/fuel pump get their signal from, ecu or bsi?
