Block Difference

Recommended Posts

What are the difference between a 2.0 mi16 iron block and the gti6 block?

 

Are they directly interchangable?

 

The mi16 block is hard to find these days are there other interchangable blocks from newer cars ?

 

Thanks

I'm stock piling XU10J4 engines. I still think they're the best for a budget hp build.

 

I would have said they're identical, however I could be wrong! Other XU10 blocks can also be used, but you'd have to drill/tap/spot face for the piston oil squirters, if that's important to your build.

Great Thanks.

Would you leave the mi16 2.0 and use the complete gti6 block and top?

the breathers are slightly different but the mountings oilways and drillings etc are all the same.

 

earlier J4R bocks still had the oil spray bars are the bottom of the bores, all the J4RS and J4 have them.
