182 engine

[madmike1]

can a 182 engine be dropped into a mk 2 ph1? or does it need to be a cup enigine for some reason?

They are basically the same engine, and yes it will fit in a mk2 ph1. The bodyshells are practically identical throughout the range.

and you need to change the inlet manifolds for a cable throttle.

Electronic pedal would be easier!Whats the deal with the belts as there will be no aircon etc and the fuel lines?

mk2 ph1 one what? 172 i assume?

How is that easier!? changing the whole interior loom, along with uch, along with the engine bay loom, its hardly easier!

Simplest thing to do is use a ph1 engine and ECU and match the engine loom to the car's loom.

 

[madmike1]

not a 172 no. i dont know which ph1. an rn or nethin really. is changing it to cable throttle difficult? and why cant the car just use an electronic throttle if im using the ecu and wiring loom from the 182?

new project mate? seen u the other day! car looks mint

 

[ChrisPearson]

You can use an electronic throttle!you will have to swap all the looms over which i thought had to be done anyway :S
Now are we buying a car or doing it to mine and fuckin it up lol?

 

[Dan@SJM]

just get a ph1 plenham and inlet, aswell as a ph1 loom. run it like that.

yeh new project! thinking of getting a cheap mk2 stripping it out and putting in a 2.0 lump. ive found a 182 one so was wondering if that could be done. it comes with the looms so i dont see the problem with the electronic throttle

There no easy answer if it were me I'd get a phase 1 looms and swop all the wiring for the phase 1 and use the 182 engine and get a Cup belt system so you can run the simple aux belt setup.

But there loads of ways round the issues.
