1.8 16v engine swap...HELP!

[stuart_16v 0]

Just need some advise really...I have a J reg corrado, and have bought a K reg one for the engine as a donor. Will there be any problems with this, being that the K reg is a bit more updated etc? Any help would be great, thanks alot.

Just use the block and head off the K plate (assuming it's a 2.0l 16v) and use all the fuel system, ignition system etc from the J plate (assuming it's a 1.8L) the K-jet 1.8 system is far more reliable than the KE-jet version with all it's extra sensors. It's also easier to tune for more power.

It would also be worth swapping the inlet cam from the 1.8 into the 2L as it's higher lift and will give more power at the top end.
