Mk1 caddy 1.6d engine swap 1.8 16v kr

1. up to you
2. yep
3. only with custom downpipe
4. get a ce1 kr loom if going full injection, it plugs straight in just needs most of the loom shortening and some lengthening on the throttle side. get some proper terminals and you can chop back most the scraggy rotten wiring to the engine and crimp to nice fresh copper.

if going carbs just need the 16v ecu loom, run a wire to the coil from fusebox and couple tweaks to sensor wiring thats about it really. ideally run the ecu red/yellow fuel relay trigger to D/13 (diesel has a wire here for glowplug relay) then run fuel pump to E/14, or you can use N but have to put a fuse inline as its before the fusebox fuse

this might help:

for the clocks you'll have to splice wiring, the ce2 mk2 loom isnt much use as the fusebox is different and on the other side of the car so nothing reaches or plugs in inside

mk1 golf or mk2 polo clocks with rev counter fit, if its a polo set you need to swap your speedo over as the smallblock gearbox has slightly different calibration. prob handy to do this regardless as then can keep mileage

 

you could move fusebox to driver side but the engine and lighting looms go thru holes on the driver side so you will either have to extend/reroute or drill new holes, or extend all the internal wiring to suit. no matter what way you do it some wire splicing is required so the easiest way would be to splice the mk2 plug on the mk1 dash wiring keep everything else caddy

 

1. Not really no, the car will be crap while warming up. You probably have a motronic type metering head I guess which has electronic valves to control warmup pressure

2. That's not right no, without throttle switch the ECU and isv controller won't see idle condition and cold throttle enrichment won't work.

Is it definitely a KR engine, loom and fuel system you have

 

Aha sorted. The isv for KR has a 3 pin plug but only outer pins used, the abf one is the same

 

KR isv plug is the one with white and white/black wires

 

It's over the other side with oil temp and earth to head, as I say it's white and white/black wires 3 pin plug but middle pin is empty.

Over on driver side you should have a white and black 2 pin for cold throttle enrichment valve which is the metal thing on the back of the airbox, and black/yellow and brown/black 2 pin which is over-run cut-off valve for the big grey and black plastic valve plumbed into the inlet pipe and airbox

 

throttle is a 3 pin yep, white, black and black/yellow wires

 

ok keep hunting, its over on the passenger side white and white/black. if you look at the fusebox side the isv wires are on a 2 pin spade plug near the bigger one with all the other isv control unit wiring
