you will need,

engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, fuel tank,
(as yours is a 1.4, you won't need radiater)

I got it all for sale for a measely sum of £250

not to hard to fit either :wink:

You might be able to get away with just changing the lump and injectors, and having a Unichip (I know...) to adjust the fuelling, although it's a long shot. You've basically got a derivative of the CVH in there already and a lot of the running systems will be common... but Mark Stewart's your man for those answers :wink:

can i not build a custom exhaust with a cat???
or will the 2i engine not like this???????
:sad:

De-cat it

I think a standard 8v 2i exhaust and manifold should go straight onto your exhaust hangers :wink:

If u can proove the age of the enigine come MOT time then u don't need the CaT

It doesnt go on the qge of the engine - it's the age of the car!!!!!!

ALL CARS AFTER '92 need a cat by law!!!

It doesnt go on the qge of the engine - it's the age of the car!!!!!!

ALL CARS AFTER '92 need a cat by law no matter what engine!!!

This also means that any enigine can be put into a pre '92 car without a cat!!

What i meant is if the engine that goes in the car is desgined to run without a CAT then u need documented proof of the engines age (comes from a pre 92 car) it is then exempt from having 1.

could i put a cat in come mot time???????????/

by **fiesta boy** on Fri Jan 25, 2002 12:10 am

if u can prove the engien is from a car before cats were interduced then ull b ok if not then i dont think it will work as this was one of the reasons the 8v was not used as it would not comply with emission laws set after 92

Might it not have to go to a Q plate then?
