Going rate for DTA E48EXP injection ECU with Loom?
Turbo Mini Forums

The DTA and loom is now out of the mini some 15 years after I fitted it LOL
It's surplus to my needs, so I'm wondering what kind of money I could get for it on eBay or other forums.


DTA E48 EXP ECU (ignition and Fuel) with V23 Firmware

V30 Firmware chip that Allan gave me to upgrade it (but I never got round to installing it).

Serial cable for connecting to laptop

Loom / Harness with all the connectors for coolant, TPS, coils, injectors, etc. Also have "fly leads" for things like the wheel speed sensors, shift light, etc. Will throw in a pair of fuse/relay banks that were used to power the ECU and fuel pump. High heat areas like the coil, TPS, etc covered with high-temp braided sleeve. The loom is ready to use; the only thing missing is the crank plug as I had to cut this off to pull it through the small harness hole. If I can find my ECU pins I'll re-wire it...

Laminated A3 size wiring diagram for this loom with the pins / colours identified.

Instruction manual (grotty, but complete).

I also have a genuine Marelli (grey) 3-bar map sensor... Not sure if I should include or sell separate?




Any other suggestions? I guess I should connect it up and get the software installed on a laptop and prove it all still works, perhaps getting some screenshots proving this?
Any suggestions on where to sell it other than eBay? Only ones I can think of (aside from TM - not sure who'd be interested on here) is 16v mini club, or Piston Heads?

I do know that shipping will be about 35 quid, which is going to limit my profit of course. If it's really worth that much, I may just keep a hold of it. I'm sure there will always be an engine somewhere that needs an ECU...

About £200 I would say, I've got an E48 in one of my cars and its s capable thing, BUT, they are known for shitting the output drivers, and DTA will no longer support them. Which in turn will limit your return. The newer S40/60 can be bought new for £500 and second hand for £350-ish.

dta forum has a clasified section, i've got two on the shelf here!

Here for the craic..

Supercharged Arden powered

Wouldnt be huge value at all given modern alternatives.

And definitely see the 3bar separate, they dont make them anymore and as with all old Ford shit....those guys go nuts for genuine parts lol

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
