What ecu are you using now? I can check how to get the air con running without a ecu at all. If you want?

@Charlvdw

When I bought the car with the motor in it, it was running on a Gotech. Then the headgasket blew. Then I removed the motor and got myself the standard CA18 and connected the gotech to the standard motor. Was struggling with places to tune the ecu and then eventually Turbo Toys/Boys (something like that) in Krugersdorp blew the standard turbo en came to the conclusion the ecu was faulty. Then I got myself the turbo from an RB25 and also installed a Dictator...

So I am now running A Dictator. I'd like to use the standard CA18DET ecu and it is stil in my car but I dont know if the ecu is working and I also need the standard harnas and airflow meter that I dont have.

How did you mount the rb turbo , did you build a mani for it?

Well the mani that was on the CA20 with the T4 was just by luck the same for the RB turbo, it was a direct fit. :D
