Tomm45 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi guys , went down the local scrap last night to see what was in stock , Ended up buying : - rs2000 N7A I4 16v complete engine(all pumps etc),gear box and wiring loom (84k on the clock) no ecu but that can be sorted - zetec e 1.8 16v silvertop mondeo bare engine 76k on clock Couldn't resist £220 all in , delivered on Friday Any way , my plan is to drop the 1.8 into my mk6 1.6 zetec , after a rebuild Could do with a few things confirming by people in the know , possibly who have done this conversion before Been searching around online and found that it seems a relatively easy swap , Correct me if I'm wrong but I've found that : - 1.6 gearbox/driveshafts can be used auxiliaries from 1.6 can be used ( going to replace cam belt and water pump anyway) Anyone know if 1.6 management ecu can. Be used with the 1.8 ? My mk6 has a gti loom in so no problems there Going to update to a bigger brake setup ( st170 or mondeo) and disc brake rear beam, Plans for N7A: Going to strip down , full rebuild (engine gearbox) then drop into mk6 , Probs end up turbocharging the 1.8 when the rs lump goes in Anyone help ? Thanks - Drill the wrong side of the air box and your engine will be swallowing stones , grit , dust , old ladies and cinqueto's. -don't fix it if it ain't broke -be the black sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
