182 engine in a 172?

[Ashd182]

Currently have a phase 2 172
Wondering if it is possible to fit a 182 engine in a 172...?
If I can what would I need an will it be worth me spend money on doing it or do I keep with 172 engine
Thanks

Its the same engine...

 

[Don]

As above. The engine is the F4R engine...same block.

cam cover and breather are different, no biggy though.

 

[Knuckles]

If anything, fit a ph1 172 engine.

Put a 182 lump in a 172 and nobody bats an eyelid. Put a 172 lump in a 182 and all hell lets loose.

Have you been drinking?

Is there something wrong with your current engine? Why do you want to swap it?

 

[Ashd182]

My dephaser pulley let go on Friday night when driving home from work so was thinking of fitting a 182 engine,but wanted to no if I can as not long having the car really.
Daniel: sorry it's my iPad "correcting things " with out me knowing.

Fair enough.

As before though, it's the same engine so you're just limiting your choice by looking for a 182 donor.

 

[Ashd182]

Yeah suppose it is,was looking down the turbo route but a lot of money which don't have lol.
Will it be a restriction if I don't use the 4-2-1 manifold off a 182 if I se my original 172 manifold?

 

[ashley_t]

No... Same engine lol. If you dont get a top inlet with it ive got one spare.

Have had a 172 just fitted to my 182 so do I need a breather for a 172 now. That connects the carbon filter? All sounds a nightmare !!!

 

[knocker]

The rocker cover must be different because the inlet won't fit on!

 

[Dan@SJM]

It will fit.

 

[bloke]

it will, you just need to grind a few bits away for it to seat properly.

 

[Ashd182]

Have brought an engine off a guy off here an also getting the top inlet aswell.

with running 182 engine will the ecu still run it or will I need the ecu uch off a 182 to run it or just use my ecu?,just wanting to no that's all

 

[knocker]

So I don't need to change the rocker cover ? Just grind a few bits away from the inlet!!!!

 

[bloke]

yup, you can't change the cam cover anyway, it's machined with the head.
