vtr to vts

[cookski27]

sweet! ive got a r reg vtr and the engine is completely fucked, the piston rings are gone, got back pressure though the dip stick and ive got oil pissin out everywere! engine cake't in oil! goin on the manifold and smoke bellowin out the bonnet when i drive :panic :, so im done with the vtr, gonna drop a vts in the bitch! ive got a 4 2 1 manifold would that fit a vts? do i need to change to loom+ecu or just the ecu? an can i use my clutch an box from vtr? i know about the rad an fan! is there anfink else i need? thanx :y:

u use the the ECU

the mani wont work no,

your better of with a vts box on the vts engine tbh, better acceleration

[cookski27]

do i need the ecu unblocked? what about engine mounts? and throttle cable? thanx

iirc there the same mounts i oculd be wrong tho :/
you just attach yout throttle cable to the boddie on the 'S' inlet

shouldnt need the ECU unlocking because your using it with the engine its mapped with

you need to use the vts loom and ecu and yes the ecu will need to be unlocked. Mounts all swapover, throttle cable is a bit different iirc.

Engine mounts are the same.

Youll need the ECU unlocked if your using the VTR' keyset ignitiion barrel etc

You can possibly use your clutch if its the same mk as the vts. Depends on the mountins for the pressure plate between mks on VTR's.

You can use your gearbox but wont be as good as a vts one.

basically youll need:

loom
unlocked ECU
manifold
fuel return plumbed in if you havnt already
Throttle cable
Rad and top hose

[Daniel09]

ahh forgot bout the ingnition :P

[ryanmt]

Rad and top hose is optional, the vtr one will cope ok. I have used a 1.1 ax one in the past with no issues :)
