2010 running 2018 engine

Evening all. So my 2010 started to make a noise. The plan was to swap this for one upto 2016 as i understood this was a direct fit.

Finding an engine was quite difficult but i managed to find one for a 2018 and from my research this was also possible.

Long story short its in and fully working. Giving the engine swap a wider range to choose from

2010 Injection used
2010 Knock sensor used
2010 Header exhaust used
There are also difference in water pipes so again the 2010 need to be used

Apart from that the engine dropped straght in, and first push of the button fired up

Well done Alan
Brave move
You must be over the moon

 

Nice one and thanks for that. Chuffed to bits. Seems a nicer smoother engine than the 2010.

 

Brilliant work! I sent you a pm if ok

 

Have you got plans to dyno it one day? I reckon the newer engine will make a bit more peak power

 

I did originally plan to get it tuned and dyno'd but it's running great at the moment so less bothered.

I'll possibly look at getting it done in the new year. But the bum dyno would suggest more power and smoother delivery.

 

Did you use 2010 throttle bodies and airbox too? Im just figuring out what i need to buy, also is any special tools you need to take the lump out? Thanks

 

@Alan f hasn’t been on for nearly two years so may not respond unfortunately
