CTC Bizer and Cura

I own an old Makerbot Replicator Clone, CTC Bizer. This worked fine with Simplify3D, but since I can't geht S3D working on my new Linux Notebook, I decided to switch to Cura.
This is what I found on the Interweb.

- https://3dkram.de/Drucker_CTC-Bizer/Cura_mit_CTC-Bizer_nutzen.html <-- besser ****)
But that didn't work out for me. For some reason the set temperatures were wrong (exchanged?).
This is what I did:
- Installed the X3G-Writer over the Cura Market Place
- Added Makerbot Replicator machine
- Set start G-Code:
(**** start.gcode for The Replicator, dual head ****)
M103 (disable RPM)
M73 P0 (enable build progress)
G21 (set units to mm)
G90 (set positioning to absolute)
M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} (set EXTRUDER temperature, X3G-Plugin switches that?)
M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; wait for EXTRUDER final temp
M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} (set HBP temperature)
M133 T0 ; Stabilize right extruder temperature
(**** begin homing ****)
G162 X Y F2500 (home XY axes maximum)
G161 Z F1100 (home Z axis minimum)
G92 Z-5 (set Z to -5)
G1 Z0.0 (move Z to "0")
G161 Z F100 (home Z axis minimum)
M132 X Y Z A B (Recall stored home offsets for XYZAB axis)
(**** end homing ****)
G1 X-110.5 Y-74 Z150 F3300.0 (move to waiting position)
G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 (Lower stepper Vrefs while heating)
(* M18 ( Disable stepper motors to allow user to move head before printing starts ) *)
M6 T0 (wait for toolhead, and HBP to reach temperature)
G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 (Set Stepper motor Vref to defaults)
M108 R5.0 T0 (Set Extruder Speed)
G0 X-110.5 Y-74 (Position Nozzle)
G0 Z0.6 (Position Height)
M101 (Start Extruder)
G4 P2000 (Create Anchor)
- Set End-G-Code:
M73 P100 ( End build progress ) G0 Z150 ( Send Z axis to bottom of machine ) M18 ( Disable steppers ) M109 S0 T0 ( Cool down the build platform ) M104 S0 T0 ( Cool down the Right Extruder ) M104 S0 T1 ( Cool down the Left Extruder ) G162 X Y F2500 ( Home XY endstops ) M18 ( Disable stepper motors ) M70 P5 ( We <3 Making Things!) M72 P1 ( Play Ta-Da song )
