1.1 to VTS / VTR - Saxperience

Jambob · 28th October 2004, 15:17

yo yo, started modding my new 1.1i sax, wondering which engine to stick in, VTS or VTR and how much work is involved.

Dave_J · 28th October 2004, 23:58

if your changing it then mighrt as well get VTS

pretty easy actually, providing you know what your doing and dont cut corners and get things on the "cheap".

The actual change itself is really easy, you can have it done in about 1 day or 2 at the most.

Why not jus buy a vtr/vts save alot of hassle

Jambob · 29th October 2004, 05:34

cos im fully kitting up my mk1, the appearance is gonna be sweet, im only pissed about the engine size so i thought id drop in a 1.6 vts engine.

can get one of ebay with uprated cams for £300

will i be able to change the dials as well (over 110 and rev meter)?

Dave_J · 29th October 2004, 22:48

i dont think you can change the dials only, i think you have to buy the clocks complete, then change dials

I don t know how it works on MK1 version but i have a MK2 1.1 and i stuck a MK2 VTS engine in and changed the clocks for MK2 VTS clocks and the temp gauges on either side of the clocks dont move. They work and all the lights appear, but they just dont do anything

after counting wires in the back i realised the loom was missing a few more wires compared to what the VTS loom has

thx for ur help lads

tezza1984uk · 2nd November 2004, 05:09

u going to have to get some pics of it, through the stages, see what ur doing!!

And obviously the finished beast!!

U just going to use a standard vts with upgraded cams, is that it?

U got any other plans for the engine??

fastasfcuk · 2nd November 2004, 17:34

Where abouts in Manchester could u get a conversion done?>

Jambob · 9th November 2004, 19:57

will have (stage 1) pics up by friday hopefully, its at the bodyshop at the mo.

SaxoAL · 10th November 2004, 03:32

nice one, whats it having the bodykit done at the mo ?

Jambob · 10th November 2004, 21:14

yeah, bodykit getting put on then sprayed, think thats done now, then its gettin moved the garage i got it from for a full "proper" service, the back brakes locked up about 2 days after i got it. fucking used car salesmen!

jamesg88 · 10th November 2004, 21:22

a fairly simple change but you must uprate everything including brakes and suspension as your 1.1 wont be up to the power the vtr/s puts out.

SaxoAL · 11th November 2004, 02:52

absolutely ^^^ , not a hard job either.

Dan · 12th November 2004, 16:48

Jambob · 12th November 2004, 19:37
