Guest mitchtech Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) I have transplanted a 1.9 8v engine into my 1.6 205gti. Looking at the donor car, i see that it has a traditional looking externaly mounted coil. but my old 1.6 has the coil mounted on the top of the inlet manifold. Could anyone advise on what i do as regards wiring a coil up etc please? Or do i just bolt my old 1.6 inlet manifold/coil assembly on?

jackherer 543 Posted May 9, 2006 yeah keep the original mani/coil/loom, all you need in terms of electrics from the 1.9 is the ecu/afm/distributor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
