1.1 to VTR/VTS? - Saxperience

jbrady72 · 24th November 2013, 22:36

Hi
Just wondering a general overview of how hard it would be to drop a 1.6, whether it be VTR or VTS lump, into a 1.1? Or would a VTR one be easier than a VTS etc?
Im really wanting to take on a project like this next summer but want to start seeing about costs and planning it etc. Is it a case of out with the 1.1, drop in the 1.6, bolt it in and go? I guess not but looking online elsewhere and there isnt much to suggest its hard at all?
Any sort of guide, help or advice would be appreciated!
Cheers
John

Its easy.

You'll need an Engine loom of the same year of your car, a matching ecu, and whatever engine you're putting in. VTR/VTS. The loom and ecu need to be from one of them.
I'd recommend changing the brakes to vented ones aswell..

You can use your 1.1 gearbox too.

I'd recommend rear disc conversion as well.

Cheers guys, could I just get a VTR axle and do a simple swap over or is it more complicated??
Also whats the difference between a 1.1 and VTR/VTS gearbox? I know theres a difference in top speed between VTR/VTS but what about a 1.1?

It's a got a different final drive so is " shorter" than a vtr box. A box sits between and various others again are different. A non sports box will take different shafts slightly and be weaker in regards to the differential
