Mk2 vtr engine into mk1 1.1... Possible or not?

[vts_chris]

Basically as it says, can i do it?!
Would i need to change the interior loom?
Any help much appreciated

[rozaladdd]

yup will need the loom bigger brakes fans bigger rad unlocked ecu not sure on fuel lines

[vts_chris]

I have the mk2 engine complete with the engine loom, ecu, rad hoses and clutch.
So do i just need bigger brakes and a vtr radiator?

it will be a fuck about. use a mk1 vtr engine

[vts_chris]

How much of a fuck about are we talking?
I want the newer engine as its got low miles, more bhp etc...
I know the ecu needs to be unlocked but would the whole car wiring loom need replacing?
Ive got plenty of time it is a project :D

[vts_chris]

Does nobody know what i need to do? :(
Surely its no harder than fitting a vxr corsa engine into a corsa c?!
I have the engine wiring loom so just need advice on bypassing the immobiliser and connecting the interior loom.
Cheers!

I'm not sure how this would work. The thought crossed my mind of doing this to my old Pug. Not worth it tbh, alot of hassle. Your gonna have to do alot of loom splicing. Potentially making what you have atm as a reliable run around, then opening a can of worms into unreliability. I wouldn't do it, thats just me.

Save for a VTR and you get more for your money and less effort.
