K series vvc 160 engine.

Just heard about this guys. Looking for £600 ono.

Comes complete as it will be removed from the car, so will include all internals, full wiring loom, ECU, starter motor, VVC inlet and plenum etc., however the alternator might not be included as I'm considering keeping the air conditioning components (if your car already has / will have A/C then PM me and we can work something out). 52mm throttle body and 5AS with fob are negotiable, might include them in the sale if I receive a decent enough offer.

PG1 gearbox of identical mileage will be attached, however a slight leak has developed lately which again shouldn't be a difficult fix. Was a bit whiney when the level got low but sounds perfect when the oil is at the correct level, so once the seal has been fixed you'll have a sweet 'box.

Has a lot of interest. I'll try and get the guys details.

Located between Glasgow and Edinburgh

I have just transplanted thhe 160BHP VVC into my car from the 143BHP VVC and can vouch for the extra torque and pull produces. I am going to give it a good thrashing on Saturday at Colerne along with John Dry and Dave Bence. I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers

Down to £500 for the lot now. Just crying out for a 5exi.
