1.6 hydro lifter in 1.6 mechanical car?
« on: May 20, 2011, 02:48:25 pm »
I found a hydro 1.6td and i have a mechanical 1.6td car with 200psi compression. I was wondering if the wiring works for the hydro engine? are all the connectors for the wiring the same or does wiring need to be lengthened etc.. thanks

it bolts in..

this is definitely the weirdest question ive ever heard..

lol, usually people are wondering about a different head, you want a different engine..

theres no differences in the wires..

86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

well my engine is worn out and i dont want the hassle of solid lifters and valve adjustments. I know there is like one wire that goes to the engine which is the fuel shut off  so i guess it was kind of a stupid question but i have never physically looked at a hydro engine so maybe there was extra wiring i didnt know about. thanks and sorry if it was a dumb question
