does a vts mk1 engine work on a vts mk2 body ?? i need serious help

[raunchz]

It does with a mk1 loom and maybe a few sensors and Ecu

[gibraltar86]

look my mk2 engine is broke and the only thing i can find here in gibraltar is a mk1 engine...so i can just fit the mk1 engine on my mk2 saxo no prob ??

[gibraltar86]

Raunchz has already told you the answer

[gaz4399]

i have done exactly the same with my car, yes it is possible you just have to change a few bits over, sensors egr system (if your current engine has one fitted)

[gibraltar86]

so all the sonsors and all the rest i can swap from my mk2 engine over to my mk1 engine ??

[gibraltar86]

what about in a last resort can i use the engine block of the mk1 on the mk2 ??

[LeeM]

yes, i have a mk1 engine in my mk2 i had to use a mk2 loom and some sensors

[gibraltar86]

whats the loom ?? it shouldnt be too much work should it ?

[raunchz]

I've got it mixed up in my answer above - but if you use your current loom, and current sensors on a mk1 engine then it'll be fine.

The loom is the wires that connect all the engine sensors up to the Ecu and to the car. It's a bit like a skeleton, with a 'backbone' and branches coming off of it

[gibraltar86]

[raunchz]

Are you talking about the 8v or 16v engine?

[gibraltar86]

thanks bro greatly appreciated mate

[raunchz]

Are you talking about the 8v or 16v engine?

Good shout - a vts engine abroad is a 1.4 8v?

If so then the manifold will fit but you need to fit a mk1 oil filter and thread, and tap up the oil hole in the block.

Plus you may have problems with the inlet, and the sensors etc. as the port spacing is different between mk1 and 2
