Are there any issues that I should be aware of in putting a 1.7 engine in a 1.8 car? Any wire differences?
The swap will be from one car to the other, so parts from both cars will be available for the conversion. What needs to be changed other than the engine itself? thanks |

If you are swapping all the FI components, pleumn runners etc., it should be a slam dunk. All FI wires go to the ECU, besides the oil pressure switch, alternator harness would be the same. Nothing extra and nothing less..
