hi was wondering if anyone has put a 1.6 cvh turbo in a 1.8 cvh rwd sierra, is this possible. will it work the gear box i have.
or is a rwd zetec easier to do or better i know a bit about the looms and gearboxes but its the engine mount points that i dont understand, fwd is mounted horizontally and rwd is longtitudinally so how can this be done
please help the newbie

the gearbox will line up with the engine, not sure which clutch you'd need, probably a rs turbo pressure plate and a sierra drive plate.
you may need to make custom mounts, but i can't see why the sierra one would mount differently to the 1600cvh than the 1800.

 

thnks for help with the g/box thats great but im not to sure about the custom mounts ill have a loo around on thi site see what i can find
thanks again
