Philj 0 Posted January 21, 2007 I have a kr engine'd G reg, looks like the oil pump is on its way out. So i think im going to put in a lower mileage engine. Now I was thinking, could I just put a 2.0ltr block and head on the kr engine loom, ecu, gearbox, inlet, exhaust etc? Im assuming the later 2.0l rado engine runs different management, and would require changing the looms, and ecu etc... Ive got 12bhp to play with on the brentacre policy, so thought a 2.0l could be an easy option? But better than a kr... Anyone got any suggestions?

mrbeige 0 Posted January 21, 2007 There is some good info on what to do here Just stick a 9a or 6a bottom end in it, and keep your KR head, and the KR cams and it should be good for around 150bhp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted January 22, 2007 If you use a 6A bottom end you need to swap the oil pump for one from a 9A and use a transverse install sump such as the KR one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted January 22, 2007 and you need a different oil filter housing for the 6a. Fit the complet 2l engine on the 1.8 injection, this in theory is less bhp as the 2l makes 136bhp but you can fit the 1.8 inlet cam and this should give you the 150bhp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crasher 3 Posted January 23, 2007 If it is a late KR (91 ish on), you can use the one from the original engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
