Engine Swaps

Post by Michael Donovan » Thu Feb 13, 2003 11:12 pm

Anyone tried exchanging a 1.6L engine for the larger 1.8 version? Is it an
easy swap? Does anyone know of any good links/articles to read on the subject?
Car would be an 1990...

Thanks
Mike

Try Don at autoway.services@xtra.co.nz or pn Hamilton 07 847 5484. He has read
up on the 1.6 to 1.8 swop and has done many MX5 engine swaps. There is also a
1.8 low km engine available at Anymaz spares in Hamilton.

The lastest top down has articles on Don's technical day - he knows what it is
all about.

Thanks Nigel for the pointers and advise re the engine swap. Will phone Anymaz
and see how much they want for the motor then get a quote for fitting,
reinsuring etc etc.
At the moment I'm really interested to see how much it's likely to cost versus
the improvement the 1.8 might make.

Thanks also Lou I'll check back the Miata forum too.

Cheers Mike
