 Topic: 1.6D to 1Y
Posted: 13 Jan 09 at 20:16 |
|
Yo folks,
My mate's N/A 1.6D has just gone bang, and he's interested in putting a 1.9 1Y in there.
Could someone tell me exactly what would be required to do this conversion? What parts would need to be bought/what parts would need to be used from the 1.6D?
Thanks,
Dave

Take one out, put other in.
Bit of port matching on the 1.6D inlet manifold.
1.9 pump and injectors, 1.9 head an block everything else 1.6.

Hello Men,
dont want to steal your thread but I am about to change my 1.7 ky to a 1Y. I went to look at a 1Y in an Ibiza and it had an ECU ? ? least I think that what it was. If it was can I just do away with it. Any info would be appreciated as I am a bit dim when it comes to electrics.
Thanks everyone for the help to date, I am getting there now with your help.

Ive just done the 1.6 to 1.9 conversion and I have one piece of advice..... Get an engine with everything still attached, I bought just the engine from VolksApart and had to take everythin from t 1.6 and put it on thenew engine...... this proved to cause loads of niggles which was really frustrating and expensive!
You need the T3 sump and oil pickup from your engine
A spigot bearing/ Pilot bearing
and a few gaskets..... should be easy
Good luck

Thanks manta061 can I call you Bob??!! Seriously though when I took the head off my KY 1.7 I really fealt peed off. cracks all over the head, wobbly valves and more than plenty of room re piston slap. If it wasn,t for this forum and blokes like you I would not have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Lots of breakeryards around Ipswich and now searching for a 1Y and really looking forward to fitting it. Thanks again for your advice it is much appreciated
Pete

Don,t get it ! No such engine as a 1Z is there ? Or is that supposed to be the prank ?  Is a bit funny though, thats what we need in this time of ressesion ..... theres nothing like a bit of humour and that is nothing like a bit of humour

Aha! I stand corrected thankyou, I learn something everyday on here.
Think I will stick to my search for a 1Y. I find the wiring difficult and like to keep it simple (being colourblind dont help)Think I will have a cup of tea now with an orange........or is that a kiwi 
Thanks for your reply mate

GSF mate £4.50 Clean the hole in the end of the crankshaft VERY WELL and you will notice that one end of the bearing has a seal and it should be closest to you when you fit it. Bit of grease and tap it in gently. What engine did you get mate ? Hope is all going well and dont struggle because all the answers on here.
