1.6K -> 2.0K swap. - MG-Rover.org Forums

Rynth · 12-10-2007, 13:02

Ahoy chaps, here a question for you, and if your up for it, beer tokens.

I know where I can get hold of a 2.0 K series for free (The chap bought the car for his mum, but didn't realise it was a 2 litre, and is happy to swap the engine for my 1.6K ) How easy is the swap? And what else needs to be changed?

Ta,

Ryn

do you mean 2.0 T? I think this gets rather involved

bruciebonus41 · 12-10-2007, 13:05

alot would need to be changed, engine mounts are different, ecu, manifold, exhaust, the suspension and brakes would need to be changed so it can cope with the extra power, i think maybe the gearbox, exhaust as well.

Rynth · 12-10-2007, 13:08

No, just the NASP 2.0 K series? Well, I think..

Its out of a 220SLi, if that helps?

EDIT:

Didn't see your post there Brucie, thanks for the info.. Now all I have to wonder - is it worth the trouble..

It won't be a k in a 220 , it'll be a T if i'm not mistaken. Expect more fuel stops if you do

There is a 2.0 K(??) Series in the Caterham R500 Evo (250bhp?)

a very limited run to order has been done, but they are like gold dust, and cost 1000's and 1000's of pounds.
