Mg zs 160 vvc

[nickc09]

I thought its probably best off if i post this in here as its a build project,

I had a 160 zr mk2, and a 120 zs mk2with a knackered engine and decided to transplant the engine,

After a lot of messing about and getting the wiring diagrams off rave, i managed to mate the looms and it works!

Well the engines in and running beautifully, pulls all the way through to just past 7k ( only tested stood still not moving)

It moves, so everything there is fine, just needs exhaust sorting, 160 calipers and drilled/ grooved discs going on along with my addendums, and then making aure the system is all bled up properly and thats it!

Few pics

Engine is in



Up on the axle stands



Finally back on all 4 wheels



The poor 160 lol

Glad you managed to get the wiring sorted in the end!

Thanks buddy, was a lot easier than i expected tbh,

Engine management light is on atm though, will get the code read later/tomorrow and see what that is, although it was on before i put the engine in because a coil pack died and i never reset it

Yeah looks as though it wasn't too difficult in the end reading your thread on it on .org. You'll soon be loving the vvc power on the road!

I know what you mean about EML lights though, mine is on as the previous owner fitted a decat, another thing on the giant list to sort!

Lol well the 160 was a perfectly working car and i had it for over a year, just prefered the zs and thought this would be a good idea lol

Think one of my mates ia bobbing down with a code reader so i shall report back later lol
