16v head on 8 v

[Dasher_VTR]

ppl keeptelling me if you put a vts head on a vtr you get more valves is this true?


i don't see how it can work

car park talk...
Used to get this all the time when I had a VTR.

"Put a VTS head on it, then youll have a VTS"

...losers.

[AdamVTRUK]

it is impossible how you going to get a 16v head onto a 8v body wont work

[Ratty]

it can be done, but you need to get the pistons cut out as there is no space for the valves and change the pullys to the vts ones, cheaper to buy a vts engine, ive done it twice but both times the vtr block was fitted with low comp pistons for charged so didnt matter really.

[Japman]

you will get more valves yea,but it aint going to work without high expense

[stiffler69]

I have been told many times that this is possible by most tuning companys the vtr and vts both use the same bottom end but you do however need all the sensors loom and ecu so its just as easy to buy a complete engine and do the full conversion

[MaRiO89]

As said before it is possible, but isn't cost efficient either tbh..

[bide_furio]

yea just get the vts engine if ur going to!!! not worht all the hassle of puttin a vts head on a vtr!

[stevenet15]

you can fit a vts head to a vtr bottom end but its alot of work, the vtr bottom end does not have a oil return from the head like the vts so it would need drilling ir re-routing for the return oil also the vtr pistons have no valve cut outs so you would have to macheine the vtr pistons or use a thicker headgasket but that would lower the compression and defeat the object of getting more performance from the head change. The pulleys off the vts bottom end are also needed as there different to the vtr. to summerise u should just get a complate 16v engine and drop that in there as its less hastle to do and know that its set up completly right

[KamRacing]

the only reason to do this is if you are entering into some form of competitive motorsport where the regs dictate that the original block has to be retained.

my eventual plan is to find a v6 block or 2 litre vts just wondered is that was easy and quick obviously not lol thanks anyway

answered ur own question then? lol

[mod2max]

Why would you wont to put a VTS engine in a VTR anyway? :panic:

Because not all VTR's have ABS and other such stuff, although saying that if a VTR did have ABS (Don't really know if the VTR ever came with such packages) a VTS engine might be worth putting in as you could probably get away with the lower insurance group of the VTR. :flamed:

erm.............

1. you put a vts engine in a vtr because you want a better engine with more scope for tunning (some people have modified brakes, suspension and would rather swap engines)
2. vtrs only had abs as extra.
3. vts engine in a vtr is the same if not more to insure in 99% of cases.

do you want a set of paddles to go with those to engine choices sir? ;)
