1.4 furio 3 plug to 1.6 vtr single plug?

[blackie_2k5]

you heard it right boyos... what sort of fuck on am i looking at in terms of mating looms? is it an awkward job? got the chance of a pretty clean furio with tax and test on the cheap.... but only if its not mega issues??

i changed a single plug quicksilver engine to a three plug

rather than getting the wiring adapted i used the three plug loom by running that loom on the engine replacing any sensors or parts across from the other engine that were different, really wasnt that hard, cant really remember all the bits that had changed across but i think it was coolant sensor, maybe inlet manifold and the injector connections,

just work your way around checking and changing, i know they were both 1.4 engines but the vtr is just a bored out 1.4 iirc

hmmmmmmm interesting, i always thought you couldnt use the three plug loom and vice versa.... just be a bit of a fook on as ill be forging the engine etc and to find it doesnt run when re-fitting will piss me off a tad as it could be many things then, but i dont wanna have to fit it to get it running then remove it to forge it????

unless i pick up a 3 plug vtr conversion for peanuts and run my 90bhp head on that.. then i can buy a 3 plug pred as its already finished, more opinions needed!!

there basically the same block deep down i think, that one defiantely fired up! it wasnt actually a ball ache at all just run the loom round the engine and see what fits, then look at changin the parts over from the other engine which dont match up. easy stuff!

you're a braver man than I am !!

[blackie_2k5]

thats what i was thinking ross lmao, may just sack the idea, means swapping everything off my car onto this one, and the beams fooked lol

[raunchz]

It's not something I'd personally look to do unless I had to 100% do it.

I think if you sat down with a multimeter, both looms and maybe a wiring diagram you'd easily be able to do it - but fault finding could be a bitch if needs to be done. A lot of the items are generally wired the same/very similar between the two.

I'm always under the mentality of keeping things as oem as possible to stop any potential reliability problems + is easier to buy replacement parts.

im eaxctly the same mate, less thingsto look for when it inevitabley does go wrong lmao
