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 |

Regarding the relay board, I would deffinatly sway it from the 1.7 car. Their can be some really wierd thing's going on if you have a relay board that didn't come with your correct fuel injection system, smoke and the like. Ask me how I know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) contrary to popular belief they are different in very subtle ways. I played this game with the board swaps and it created some wierd problems.
