so, as described in my SUYM thread I have opted to swap out my motors poxy 1.4 cvh Pte for the much more driver freindly 1.6 cvh Efi.

 

Now Im no stranger to engine changes but thats only as far as straight swapping (in other words swapping a blown/fraggled engine for a similiar engine).

 

When it comes to engine upgrades Im treading unknown water and tho the differences between the 2 engines Im swapping is marginal with them both being the same engine types and rigs (cvh's of the same era) they still will obviously have notable differences.

 

soooooo......

 

essentialy Im looking for advice on unforseen issues I may come up against?

 

I currently have the 1.6 Efi engine (dressed, inlet/outlet manifolds present and fitted in other words), I also have the complete and uncut loom and correspondant Ecu(EEC IV), Edis & Map sensor for the engine.

 

there are acouple of questions I already have before I even concider starting the swap, as follows...

 

1. No Maf sensor on the 1.6... I thought all Efi's had Mafs??

2. were the feck is the supressor???

3. were are the Map sensor and Edis module usually mounted?

4. Which TPS is required for a 1.6 cvh as its the only item missing?

 

muchly obliged in advance. :thumb:

I'm no use with the 8v engines, but I can answer number 1 by saying that the 1.6 CVH didn't have a MAF.

 

This sounds like a possible EVO BBQ.......

nar, only niggly issues, nothing major and nothing that'd stop me fitting the engine in silly fast time.....

 

saying that tho...... it'd be a laff to have a crew on it, make it less of a chore and a bit of a grin.

 

Id obviously get a shitload of beer (Kaliber for those drivers :pancake: ) and meat in for burnin :thumb:

Why not zetec it (for ease of fitting and choice of 1.8 and 2.0) or RST it (for a worthwhile gain)

ah well ya see I given free rein and ignoring all other issues would indeed get the rst conversion done and dusted right now, however I have to bare in mind that its primary use still essentially will be a daily driver family car and as such a rst just wouldnt be practical atm.

 

eventually Ill get round to sorting a work horse daily drive (probably some form of mondy)so I can give the escort more focus but until that time Ill have to temper my enthuisiam :pancake:

right this is gettin on my tits now so lets clear it up a bit....

 

my sisters fella (who owes me favours so will be gettin roped into the swap) keeps on about not bothering with a engine hoist or crane and to just slip it in from underneath.

 

now I know this is the prefered method of budget swaps but as of yet Ive never bothered doing it that way (Ive allways had a crane handy or hired one) and as such Im not familiar with the technique.

 

whats everyones opinion on doing it the way he suggests.....

 

am I simply wasting cash hiring a crane?

what issues arrive with doing it that way?

does the gb need to come out that way?

I've never used a hoist or crane to get engines out, but it makes putting them in one hell of a lot easier!!

is it as he suggests just a simple case of jacking the engine up into place?

 

Id have thought thered be clearance issues??

Well, it is as simple as that, as that's how you get it out. Getting it on to the jack, and manouvering it into position would not be easy without at least 3 sets of hands.

hmmmm..... I do have access to a pallet lift tho.... could essentially sit the engine sqaure and upright on that (mabye heightened with some chunks of timber) then simply pump it up?

 

ideas kinda stuck with me now.....might see if I can make it work :pancake:

 

oooor maybe with a little welding and box section I might be able to cobble together a cradle off the top of my 2.5t jack?? :))

jack the car up, remove slam panel and pull it out on the plallet truck?

haynes can suck my puckered rectum....theres not one reference in Haynes about needing to T*at the shite out of a part to get it off the car yet as we all know.....thats usually the process :pancake:

pmsl - they need to update the haynes with the adult version - the real one!!
