Al Crickmore Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 If this has been done to death then apologies in advance but I could find anything definitive on this subject. What's the difference and what will I have in a 2002 1.6 SL? Yellow/Carbon '02 Caterham Superlight No.186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 The ECUs aren't compatible so all the lovely mods for an EU2 are a pain to fit for the EU3 as you have to frig the loom (etc). EU3 cars have a nasty plastic cam cover. EU2s the slightly less nasty metal ribbed affair. I believe Emerald are working on EU3 style connectors for their ECU. Either that or revised looms. Or both. A couple of people have done their own (think Miraz's is one of note). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 other visual clues (although you almost certainly have an eu3, my may 2001 deliverd kit Sl is an Eu3) no distribitor coils on the top of 2 of the spark plugs (1 & 3 I think) ecu is in a wedge shaped box no inertia cut out switch Eu3 is wasted spark also I suspect DVAPower maybe goming up with a solution to the EU£ loom to Emerald issue sometime....

Colin Grundy Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Al, I can update you on this situation, because as Youve probably read on another thread I am in discussion with Dave Andrews at the moment. The current situation is that there is no solution to the EU3 problem. Miraz, Dave Andrews and Karl from Emerald are jointly trying to get an adaptor sorted to enable EU3 loomed engines to mate to an Emerald ECU. Yours Al is almost certainly going to be EU3. I am ringing Caterham this afternoon to see if they can supply my engine with an old EU2 loom, but I'm not hopeful. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
