  A friend of mine ran a moded 4 cyl electronique systeme on a 5 cyl. It Digifan from VW. He told me the injectors fire at the same time so it can be use on 5.

  Its what i have been told. I did saw him anymore. So i can't get more info about it.

    Stupid question.....
    But wouldn't the 4cyl loom/electronics run on the 5cyl engine? 
    At the end f the day the ecu doesn't care how many sparks per cycle
    there are, it only sees and deals with individual sparks.....
    am I being stupid?

    Huw,

    The system I pulled from '89 model 80 was not Motronic, but a late
    version
    of mechanical fuel injection with knock sensing, essentially the 4 Cyl
    version of CIS-E3.  To my surprise, there was only one control unit
    which
    integrated the fuel and ignition systems - everything goes to one brain.
