As the guys said.....blue labelled boost ECU is called an EZ210K, has a black plastic cover and lives under the centre console. This is the one that Robou works magic on.

The green labelled fuel ECU is the LH2.2 Jetronic unit, with a metallic cover and lives behind the trim on the right-hand side of the drivers footwell on a RHD car. This one you could probably pick up from someone breaking a 480 or a scrap yard if you are lucky. Richmod or Robou this one doesn't get modified....usually....

http://www.freewebs.com/hjkort/480ecus.htm

Example serial number for a green labelled Jetronics would be 0 280 000 959. That is from my '93 turbo although it is an auto. No immobiliser fitted on mine!

I reckon 10% commission sounds fair Jim

I'm happy to accept in the form of discount on my next purchase from the "Shed of Maximum Density!"

I need a couple of bits actually, I'll PM you over there when I get a chance.

Hi Simon
after your email I double checked and all the 480 turbo engines where multipoint injection so the mod will NOT work with your single point engine and what is more the NONE of the 480 remaps will work with your single point system. So neither the robou or richmod upgrade is of any use to you. If you have paid already I will refund fully if not then the deal is cancelled as the unit is of no use to you if you have a single point injection system.

Regards jim

Since sending that email I have re read the thread and am still puzzled you have stated that the engine is a single point injection system if the engine is from a 480 then it is a multipoint system and the mod will work however if it is a single point system then it will not. Please clarify the situaion as I dont want to sell parts that are unsuitable. Posted up here as I have limited computer access today.

The engine in the pic on the previous page is indeed a 440/460/480 Turbo engine, all are multipoint injection... It seems only the French insisted on blowing through a carb (or SPi, which may as well be a carb with an injector in the top)

If Simon is to transplant the whole engine as in the pic, with the loom etc into his 440 (Which is probably currently SPi) then there shouldn't be a problem with the Robou and Motronic units
