[KrissyBufton]

hey wot are ur engine code+ suffixes???

ive just read another thread on here, and most people are saying certain engines are usual/common 172/182 engines... mine is a 182... but my engine code+ suffix is F4R 738.... does this mean ive got a weird engine? lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

172 cup is 736

the differences are the heads, everything else is identical

mk1 172 has the largest exhaust ports from memory

The 182's use the 738 code engines.

The have the worst head I belive there a tubro derivated one.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Not very well cast.

But its only a head its used in other cars etc.

Get it ported etc and it juss like the rest of them if they were ported etc.

phs1 172 - F4R 730
phs2 172 & cup - F4R 736
phs3 182 - F4R 738

All the same physicall engine bar cylinder head castings changed between phs1 172's and phs2 172's of about 2002-2003 where the larger exhuast ports of the phs1 172 were deleted and they moved over to the base turbo head casting...for costs obviously. The inlet ports are CNC'd the same still, but the exhaust ports, not matter what you do, will flow less on the latter versions as they are completely different design. Ex manifolds changed obviously, and engine management parameters such as climate control, dual lambda monitoring but thats about it.

Engines are all the same basically so you wont have a 'weird' engine.
