Technical Would a coupe 2.0 20v engine fit straight into Bravo HGT?

[princeyhgt]

Should of really asked that question before i bought it but the cambelt snapped on my HGT so iv gone and bought a coupe engine. Are they exactly the same and will it be an easy fit. They seem very similar? Many Thanks

No. Not a "straight" but not too hard its been done quite a few times. Theres a Bravo HGT in classified at the moment with a 20VT lump in it.

Just remember to transplant the Brembo brakes too or you aint gonna stop lol.

sweet, ill have a look in asec. Would the ECU need to be changed dya know? The coupe engine was out of a 99' model yet my bravo is R 97' model. Im sure the later engines were 155bhp rather than the earlier 147bhp. Just wondering wether that would need the ECU too? please say no

 

[ChrisUK]

I'm not 100% sure but I'd imagine you would.

Chris, i dont think he is trying to put a turbo engine in, just an N/A one.

there is a lot more to the 155 engine compared to the 147 though.

i 'think' you can just bolt on the stuff from your old 147 and it will work, but i'm not 100% sure due to the VIS system and fly-by-wire.

You are going from a 4 pot engine to a 5 pot? If so you will need the ECU from the donor car?

 

[bulldog5046]

no, the bravo HGT is a 2.0 20v

I think there is a lot of differences between the vis 155 and 147 but probably all bolt on parts, I think internally they are the same but sensors manifolds etc are different.
not 100% sure though..

You have to change the ECU because the 20v turbo has a lot of sensors addicted.

I don't think its a Turbo he's got 2.0 20v N/A.

But as said it will have the VIS and will be a 155bhp version.
