1.6 16v conversion..?

[Luker1990]

hey i have done a quick search but couldnt find that much...

I have a 2002 1.2 16v and i was wondering if any body know if the 1.6 is pretty much just a straight swap, as i no that the 2.0 has quite abit of work to get it in there.

Thanks alot guys
Luke

where abouts you from? should have my 1.4 engine up for sale soon

its probably about the same as the 2.0 but as long as you have all the looms ECU, decoder key and ignition barrel then its just a case of taking all the 1.2 stuff out and putting the 1.6 stuff in. same with the 2.0 though

Luke go for a 1.4 98bhp with closer to 1.2 fuel economy, 1.6 is only 110bhp iirc n it drinks!!

My 1.6 was fine on fuel, 40mpg average

its EXACTLY the same job as fitting a 2.0 need both looms ecu uch etc etc etc

1.6 (k4m) and 2.0 (f4r) are near enough identical to look at use the same managment etc

Actually you are wrong, the fuel economy in both is practically the same.

Easily get 45mpg on a run in my fiancees 1.6 16v megane coupe!

You'd be best to do the 2 litre conversion if you're going to all the work anyway imo

K4m is a good lump lot of potential, and plenty of fun

Crack head. The difference in torque alone is massive. I used to get 50mpg on the motorway, 40 ish around town. Now, when it starts, I get about 40 on a rn and 30 when toeing it, and thats modified.

Going from a 1.2 - a 1.4 would be pointless. Need to be at least 1.6 to make it worthwhile tbh.
