Hi I have a 8v vit and just got a rotted 16v complete vit just wondering if there will be much point in putting the 16v engine as well?
What's the difference in power ect

I find the 16v to be much the same as the 8v at the bottom end, but its got a bit more oomph at the top end.

Thought it would have been. Might just take it out as a spare. What are they like to convert over the 8v

Well mines running on carb... got all the bits now to run microsquirt injection system, but its quite a bit of wiring.
Carb required a modified inlet manifold and modded distributor to work, and injection requires a lot of wiring, and also needs all of the injection related gubbins and wiring from a donor vehicle.

No, should be fine if you have the whole vehicle.
However, you might need to sort out a few tricky bits such as the immobiliser ring around the ignition barrel, and the speed sensor (if it has one)

Personally I would speak to Rhinoman about getting the immo removed... it seems to usually be the point of failure with the Vitara ecu
