so how is the 1.6L going to run the 1.8L? lol shouldnt it be running the 1.8L so you will have the right fuel maps?

It's a 2.0L and I believe another person in the forum who did the swap had to use the 2.0L ECM for it to run properly.
Mapping is least of a problem. A simple piggy back will solve the mapping. How about other sensors? Does the 1.6 ecu direct hook up to this 2.0 engine? Same wiring harness for 1.6 ecu and 2.0 ecu? Or all wiring need to change as well.
wiring harness, and sensors are the same

hmm interesting...proven? or they just look the same?Originally Posted by deniswhite1
...yea I have no idea why I said 1.8L...if the harness and sensors are the same then shouldn't the 2.0L ecu work with the aveo?
Am I wrong about someone having issues with a 1.6l ECU on a 2.0l engine? Was the ECU throwing codes? The connectors might be the same, I'm pretty sure mapping isn't at all the same.
I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.
I'm sure your right, different bore, stoke, different RPM timing. howmuch more is it for the 2.0 ecu?, your going to have to trick the car into thinking it still has the 1.6 or trick the motor into thinking it's still in the optra or what ever it used to be in.
Just my 2 cents, I'll shut up now.

07' Liberty
1973 VW Bug. Full resto. summer toy.
Making slow progress, i just got a call from my shop, seems the 1.6L flywheel does not fit the 2.0L, the holes on the 1.6L are smaller and dont line up with the pattern on the 2.0 block so hes gonna call in for a 2.0L flywheel in exchange for the extra manifold i have.
Its hard when you "almost" pionner something hehe so many unexpected things

the real issue is the fuel curve. some people say to just run bigger injectors or program them to be open longer. but that still does not mean the map will match your needs entirely.. i would think you would need a custom chip, piggy back, standalone or other tune to get the most out of the swap.
but even the stock computer with bigger injectors is a decent starting point.
best way is to get a 2.0L ecuOriginally Posted by petrified.rabbit
