since i blew up my xb engine, are the echo motors the same as the xb??

 

[bB626]

it should be. they are both 1NZ-FE. what i heard that was different from Echo and the xB is the waterpump or something like that...

ECU's are different for the working part to make em run as well.

if you change motor, you change ecu, and loose VSC,Trac Control. you get the x-mas tree lights up on the dash.

the echo motors do work.

How did you blow your motor?

SWap the motor and use your ECU. Why you at it, build up the internals. They are identical back to 2001, if I remember correctly.

 

[killerxromances]

Biggest differences is gearing and ecu. ECU is better than our ecu, its not a learning ecu like ours. The gearing sucks in the echo's, especially the manuals. Just get another xb/xa 1nz and swap to a echo ecu. Yes, you will loose trac, abs and so on but its more workable if you plan to mod the motor again.

^^^What he said ^^^

would like to see pics when you swap out the motor ...... thaks

i can get you a motor from an xB with 3,000 miles on it for $900.... PM me if you are interested, it needs a new oil pan and intake manifold

 

[nookie_motorspoprts]

i found an echo motor for less that $300 50 miles from home. seems like all the echo motors are hella lot cheaper for some reason. hopefully i can get my motor out this wekend and get some pics up here. this turbo costing too much damn money

 

[Padanky]

How much better are the Echo ECU's than the xB? I know someone on SL was messing around with a few different ones but I didn't read the whole post.

how did u blow yr engine? how many miles on the car? if it has less that 36k u can get a new one for free, its under the 36k/3 year thing.

Just a guess but his turbo blew the motor....which also means factory warranty will not touch the car.

 

[saddlesore]

Just a thought about turbo'n ..

sounds like you need to revisit the settings on the gate bypass , may be putting toooo much boost to the engine...

and in big rigs we always install a pyrometer...and make damn sure that exhaust temps never excede 1200 deg (hot side ) or 900 deg.(cold side)
the reason for this is that if your exhaust temps excede these temps, you "cook" the oil in the <turbo> bearing surfaces..the debris from a shattered turbo is sucked directly into the air to air, then into the engine intake..bad boogie this!
{big rig "crate" engines can run upwards of $20,000!!

just my 1/2 cent contrib.
