hey guys,
is this easy to do?
-
Yes :wink: Just use the 1.8 head on the 2.0 bottom.

I'm using the whole 2.0 8v engine plus gearbox ...

It's easier to just bolt on the 2L bottom end and you get more torque doing that too. Apparently.

I'm using the whole engine cos the garage i took it too didnt tell me the bottom end of the 1.8 was gone and carried on with the rebuild of the head anyway...

if you got a 1.8 head use that on the 2.0 bottom end it means you can still use your standard injection and wiring etc
a lot less time consuming than wiring a 2.0 in

That's my point and you end up with more torque :wink:
-
so all you do is change the bottom end? no other work involved?? i mite look into getting a bottom end from somewhere if so
-
my mate's doing it - he says its just plug n play going from a 1.8 8v to a 2.0 8v :)
got a doner car so all the bits are there :)

... and ripping out the dash to rewire, changing fuel lines and pumps and.. and ..
Swap the 1.8 bottom end for the 2.0 bottom end, cheaper and quicker.

The ports on the 2E motor are a very odd shape and totally different to the PB head. This means far less work has been done by far fewer people on getting the most out of the 2E motor, hence the PB head is a much better bet.... plus everything does just bolt up to the head and the 2.0 goes straight in.
-
the 2e/pb hybrid is a much better enigne than the 2e or the pb. thats why puttign the pb head on the 2e block is so popular. it's easy and effective.
-
i found out that when mine would not start after conversion i that i needed a 2e dizzy as i had used an agg block
so just make sure you have a 2e dizzy so that everything works (thats for the digi/pb engined cars not sure about car if it is a kjet)
-
yeah the later MK3 dizzy has a single hall sensor port, the digi one needs 4! I think you can spot the holes looking down into the dizzy? You ma even be able to fit the pb trigger windowy thing into the mk3 dizzy?
