Would a 190 alloytech fit in a vz executive??

[mike_07]

hey guys, just wondering if a 190 alloytech motor and manual gearbox would fit right in a vz executive ... would i need to change anything or is it all pretty much the same .. thanks.

[shozzy]

aren't they pretty much like the exact same engine apart from the executive has only got variable intake on one side of engine, where as the 190 is on both sides... im more than likely wrong but i think i remember reading that somewhere

It should bolt in but i would think it uses a different computer as the 190 has variable intake and exhaust valve timing and the 175 only has variable intake valve timing and should have same gearbox bolt pattern

hrmmm because i wanted to convert mine to a manual but its abit pricey still and i thought it would be better if the motor was originally manual, it would run better i think .. and would be easier to put in .. old out, new in if it fits plus its a 190 ..


still just finding info on it

I wouldnt even bother,the 190 is not a power house. I drive the 175 in an exec. at work and i can honestly say i can not tell any diff between my 190 ute

this is what i plan on doing, if you are going 190kw 6-speed into a 175 4sp everything seems to be plug and play, got a few more things to check in my manual, but only one harness needs to be changed (easy one) and a reflash with tech to to link the bcm with ecu and pim, and change the instrument cluster software aswell,


if you where going 4sp to 5sp, seems you will need to rip the dash out as the wiring is a wee bit different

[mike_07]

yeh im going the manual ... any idea on the price of a 190 motor and gearbox from a sv6 .. oh and how much do the 175 motors sell for and 4sp auto, so i know how much i can get for mine around.
