lowlander Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi there, What is is required to swap a 1.4K with a 1.8K from the MGF or Elise? What are the likely costs of doing the conversion? Thanks and all the best. Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted December 15, 2006 Leadership Team Share Posted December 15, 2006 Martin, Assuming you mean a pre-96 1400, there's plenty of info on my website Stu. Edited by - sforshaw on 15 Dec 2006 21:10:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 And Im doing it now! New engine built - dead easy so far..... Lets get a 1.4 to 1.8 Club going - a bit like 18-30 but a subtly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 And I just happen to have a complete 1.8 K-Series from my 2003 SV avialable BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

Hurtle Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have been planning to do the same with my 1.4SS. Would I be better to get a whole 1.8 K and fitting that or to do it the conversion way? Ta Jas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 [aol]Me too![/aol] I don't fancy any of this engine crane lark, so when I eventually get round to it, I'm going to give Dave Andrews a call and see if he can sort me out a 1.8VVC lump and do interesting things for me. ...unless there is a few of us that fancy learning together? I'd be game to DIY if I wasn't alone in making the mistakes ;) M. Martin Saunders ohh, is it upgrade time? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi, Don't forget to grind the side of the block so that the starter motor can fit - its a pain to pull the engine again if you didn't know 😳 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
