29th January 2011, 10:15

Hi guys me and my friend and currently embarking on our new project. We have a 1.1 eastcoast saxo with 110,000 miles which we want to fit a vtr/vts engine into.
I know i can use the 1.1 gearbox on a vtr engine but need advice on clutch and keys (immobiliser).

I have seen how to remove the immobiliser but can i use the existing keys with a 1.6 engine and ecu?

Also what clutch would fit the 1.1 box or should i just get a 1.6 gearbox and clutch?

Thanks and sorry if its been asked too many times!

type the reg into eurocarparts from the car the engine came from to get the right clutch, and for the immbolisher, from experience, the two boxes have different connections, leaving you the only option of getting the ecu unlocked, should be able to use the same key i think

Ok thats cool!
Also my car is a mk1 with a single plug ecu so do i need a mk1 vtr/vts engine with mk1 single plug ecu?

I think you do yes, need someone else to confirm though
