How to? f4r 738 to 172?

[vladoje]

I am looking for a new engine, and want to get a low mileage f4r 738. I need some tips concerning the installation of a f4r 738 into a phase 2 172 (old engine was f4r 736).

So I am considering compatibility issues, in order to decide which engine type to get. Is 738 compatible with 736 ECU and wiring, what about exaust manifold, etc. Anything that stands on the way of a simple "plug and play"....


Thanks

Everything should just pop in nicely I think.

only difference that matters is the vac hose to the carbon canister. just block that up and it'll go together nicely

Thakns, I asked before, but I read on some french forum that ECU engine management is different, and that 182 ECU should be used, and they mentioned couple other bits an bobs....So I was not sure....
