Optra 1.8 P to 2.0 Diesel I have a Optra 1.8 petrol version, however after getting the Swift Pete'd the Optra seems to be a highly underpowered car. Torque is just 16KGM compared to 22KGM of the Swift. So i was thinking is it possible to do a swap of the 1.8 DTEC engine with the 2.0 TCDi engine of the Magnum. If yes, what all are the changes requirement. A few which i think are : - - Engine
- Gearbox
- ECU
- Instrument Cluster
- Stiffer Springs and Suspension (Can opt for Konis)
And most importantly how much will i have to spend. How much will my current engine go for.
Please put in your inputs where will i get the engine and who can do the swap for me.
Thanks.
A Peted Magnum is just what is needed now |
