so if i went for 9a,could i use my existing carb inlet manifold and exhaust manifold? theyre currently on a kr... decisions,decisions cheers 4 the input guys,prof what are you looking to do?
its the head side of things that will determine what bits you can and cant use. If you use a 16v head you will be able to use 16v stuff, if 20v then 20v stuff
but the 16v stuff isn't far off the 20v, some adaptor plates may save you a packet but would need some pondering
Not all ARD's are big port heads, as i found out last week after a 4 hour drive to pick one up Chris have you any other info on this ALT block, like what size crank and rods are used, bore size etc.
what a nightmare graham, no idea on the internal dimensions, but alloy block did you see Stephen Gaults post the other week about offset boring them to 84mm, that's pretty interesting
No didnt see that, im going to stick with the size i have but as i need a new block now is time to look into this alloy block.
not a huge weight saving 15kgs allegedly, but i guess that is quite a high percentage in a stripped out mk1 pretty sure tim [rallye] said the ALT was on his version of etka, so bore/stroke etc should be easy to find out
Yeah its not going to be a big saving, the cast block is only about 30 ish kgs, but its worth a look into before we start on the cast block again.
mmmm,good stuff. is there any electrical issues running either an adr or alt 20v in a mk1? immobilisers etc? do i just need mbe? to run the ignition,like this? not too bothered about sensors as ill be using new dials.
