Title: 8 bit vs 16 bit engine
Post by: steo800 on July 29, 2014, 10:01:02 PM
Hello!

Just in the process of changing engines in my fd. It\'s a 1997. It blew a tip(or 2) 🙈

Have an engine from an earlier model, can\'t remember the year but I think it\'s a 95\' certain it\'s 8 bit anyway.

Have almost stripped the 16 bit engine and hopefully do the 8 bit tomorrow aswell.

Plan was to take whatever parts i need from 16 bit and put on older engine to suit 1997 car.

Just wondering if anyone has a guide or a heads up as to what to expect to change?

From a quick glance I can see the loom obviously needs changing and the electronics/plumbing that control the turbos.

Cheers!
