Satria Neo engine swap

[gbis1985]

Looking to swap standard 1.6 campro for somthing with a bit more grunt. see a few with EVO engines and the GSR turbo, but looking for somthing a bit different. been looking at buying an FTO for cheep and using the 2.0ltr v6 out of that....

first off i'm just wondering if it would fit?
what else would i have to strip out of the fto to make this work?
plus what custom parts would i have to look at getting made?

all help welcome.


live in UK so no probs with putting bigger engine in the neo.

I hv a fren who has de fto engine in a gen2 chassis..i can tell u its a really tight fit n a lot of modification done on de mountings..power wise,definitely it pulls much harder but de 1 real setback is dat it made de car really "nose heavy" n its especially noticeable wen u gun it on a downhill run where even twinport brakes gets "cooked" easily..but i must add dat de engine jz purrs wonderfully at idle n power delivery is rather linear..

I have try this car b4... this car is really powerful and respondsive as well, bcoz the engine has changed to b18c and replaced the ori sensor throttle to cable type...
dun really feel heavy nose on this car coz the weight is not much different for the campro and vtec engine... the only different is the power/weight ratio has improve a lot!...
+this car is running on powerFC, so the power line is dramatically smooth as well...

How difficult is the modification to swap the B-series engine into the Neo? Major mods on the mounting/chassis?

I am in UK too, mate. Wouldn't such a change be quite a nightmare on your insurance since it would no longer qualify as stock? Or do you have a way around it?

Hassle with legally registering the engine...

true, but its worse then putting in a b18c with totally diff mountings and lots of mods rite....

 

[Jzpower]

to be honest, this car have gone through lots of modification...
such as the manifold which have to be lengthen to prevent hitting the oil sump pan, custom driveshaft needed to be forged to handle the power...
if not mistaken the petrol tank have to modified as well...
but the wiring is considered easy on this car...
it is all about money+time... but the satisfactory of the product money cant buy!
it is always the fact tat hw you wan to spend your money...

CHallenging and satisfying if you have the time AND money, which most of us here don;t have, if not we most likely won;t be driving Neos...but then, its a great result to have and piss off all the purists out there!
