Got a car going for scrap would like to take engine out but no room to keep.

Is it worth keeping the cams for either my own car or to sell? are they easy to get out, what else is needed to put on a 1.8 engine.

could be worth keeping cams, ecu and throttle body - with that your 1.8 would have 2l power :)

If the engine's going for scrap, remove the camshaft cover and cut the timing belt. Not a huge job... :)

I need to get some more tools to remove the cams, the bloody bolts are tight.

What a game getting the ecu out, is there an easy way?

Do you really need to have a 2lt ecu are they not the same?

wac, as i've explained til i'm blue on the face on this forum, if you change cam profiles you need mapping or the correct ecu swap but i'm not going to go into the technical reasons why YET AGAIN
