Markt8 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 if you use the propper mtx75 box you need different drive shafts also<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Different hubs aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delvey Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 where is the ecu located on here?and shud i use the 1.6 or 1.8/2.0 one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) i thought the 130 xr3i's a 1.8, and if you've got a donna car you'll use the manifold and cams for the 130 anyway. won't you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yup. 130s were 1.8s  Think you'd have to be mad to get a whole doner car for a 130 conversion!  as you can see there is water spirtting everywhere for ittook 2 hours to get top end off and out,not bad reallyhead seems to be buckled so new engine time<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Head doesn't sound good!  How did you remove the bolts? Quarter - half turn each at a time? EDIT: Regarding the ECU - use the 1.6 one unless you have a non-PATS 130spec ecu Edited May 5, 2005 by Ex-Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvey Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 just unbolted all of them 1 by 1,dint see the point in doing it like that as the engine is well and truly fooked,but hopefully can salvage sum parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
