Have you tried another FP-DE ecu in your car as it may have been what killed the old engine, It may be running the engine super lean causing it to overheat???
Mine was faulty and VICS didn't work.
Also check that a previous owner hasn't fitted one of those ebay kits that trick the ecu into thinking its colder than it is.
That could create havoc in this case.
