Mspnp2 1.8vvt swap
Hi,
I recently I blew my -91 1.6 turbo engine and since I live in sweden there arent alot of motors for sale, one of my friend has a 1.8 vvt engine though which he is willing to sell me for cheap. As i have understood my current ecu will work with this motor except the vvt function. are there any dangers with running the motor without controlling the vvt? I dont want to buy a new ms due to the swedish inspection regulations. Has anyone done this? What was your approach? Am i better off just waiting until someone sells a 1.6 motor? best regards davinci |
Do it, there's a megathread about putting a vvt into an na and there's no harm leaving the VVT unplugged.
That thread was my bible when i did my swap and it worked like magic. |

my "tips" would be to find a return style fpr (being in europe this shouldnt be too hard, PN BP5B-13-280) and do all of the maintenence you can afford to do to the engine while its out of the car. Also maybe find out what caused your 1.6 to die and avoid it because the vvt has much higher compression. |

You do know that there are newer PnP Megasquirts, right?

yes, but I think it's a car related problem. I've followed every single guide, flipping pins in the ecu connector, but nothing helped.
I could also pull the dash and run a wire straight to the ecu board, but I'm a lazy *** |
