i picked up a engine today.....a supposed 1,7 engine.....i pick it up and look at it and i see 1,8 throttle body and two injection harnesses and a computer fitting god knows which car.....all i know is that the computer doesnt have the idle mixture adjustment knob, which means it matches the year range of the 1,7....so far everything makes sense. Okay, my question is where could i hook up a MPS to on a 1,8 intake plenum and throttle body? ( everything i said is true ASSUMING the 1.7 had the upright throttle body setup with the wider intake plenum)

The early 1.7 ECU does not have a knob on the outside--nor does the 1.8 ECU (either version). I strongly suggest you check for part numbers on the ECU before you assume which kind it is.
The 1.8 manifold has outlet pipes (that hook up to the intake runner pipes going to the heads) that are the same diameter as the 2.0 ones; the 1.7 has smaller outlet pipes. If you've got access to 1.7 or 2.0 "intake boots" (the really fat vacuum hoses) you can check to see if or how they fit on the manifold. The 1.7 boots will only fit the 1.7 manifold; 1.8 or 2.0 boots will be loose on the 1.7 manifold but will fit the 1.8 one fine. --DD |
