   Hi i posted up on here a few weeks ago for a friend of mine who wanted to put a VTS engine into his VTR (which had popped), since time a good, cheap replacement VTR engine has come up so he's eager to get that one stuck in just so he can get driving again. The question is, when i posted up before, alot of people said something aqbout making sure the ecu was the correct number of pins (2 or 3), (that was VTS into VTR), I want to know if that is still relevant with a straight swap like this or will all VTR's just bolt up?
   Thanks in advance.....
   Mike.

   i think you can get away with any vtr engine and just use the inlet and loom that came out of the car and blank off any thing not in use.
