• 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..

• 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

  i got a beat up 1.5 head casting.. theres no valves or anything. its busted up, not runnable anymore..
  
  could use a gasser head too.. the side that matters is all the same..
