[vader 0]

hello there..

 

i've a car fitted with a Mi16 2.0L(RFY) engine and i've an unused Mi16 1.9L(DFW) engine... can i swap the bottom end using the 1.9L? can this be done? which timing belt shall i use...2.0 or 1.9...is there any advantage by doing this...

 

 

thanks

Yes you can use the 1.9mi aluminium block and it's internals with 2.0 mi16 head. The 2.0 and 1.9 cylinder heads are 99% identical.

You can also use 1.9 crank with 2.0 block, conrods and pistons. That will make great budget engine with lots of torque.

thanks to all..

 

once i've 405 Mi16 1.9L..with a spare engine(1.9) but recently the car has totalled...burnt due to short circuit... . previously i'd purchased a citroen 16v (Mi16 2.0) but the engine is not as nippy as the 1.9..so i thought maybe i can use the 1.9 block...but which cam belt should i use..1.9 or 2.0...thanks for the info

Fix the engine management issues and keep the ZX, I find the 2.0 just as good as a 1.9 and makes more torque, better engine management too.
