V Bachetta 10 Posted December 23, 2011 Hi guys, i have seen an engine up for sale on here under the classifieds section. There is a guy selling a 2.0 16V 9a lump, i need to change my 1.8 16v KR engine as its burning a shed load of oil and smells. Would this go straight in to my car with out too much of a ball ache? Do i need the ECU or will the standard ecu i have work with this engine? Also the gearbox? Does this need to be changed? Please help as i need to get this done asap. Thanks Veejay.

davidwort 0 Posted December 23, 2011 just take the 2.016v block and head, use everything else off the 1.8, all a direct fit. you will need to get CO set up to get the best from the 2L lump at some point and it will aslo benefit from having the fuel control pressure adjusted by tweaking the Warm up regulator valve, this is not essential but will get a fair bit more power from the engine, really needs to be done on a rolling road for best results, only takes an hour max though.

V Bachetta 10 Posted December 23, 2011 Hi Mate, thanks for the advice. I think i have found a KR lump which i will use as the person selling it has had all the major work done with paperwork to prove/back this up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Go 2L, it gives a nice bit of extra torque :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
