Hi Guys an Gals, I have a 1999 silverstone with a knocky engine. I want to replace the engine to allow me to rebuild the damaged one without time pressure, but need to know which engine i can put in it. I have found a 2005 unit but am unsure if i can just fit it or if other parts need to come across from the donor car. Could anyone give a description of engine years/codes that could go in and what would need to come with them. This will help hugely in choosing the replacement. Sorry this is my first post - I have only had the car three days!!

Kind regards

Jared

Someone must know?

I would just stick with an ap1 motor since you are building your old one. 03 & down.

a 2004-2005 2.2L engine will drop right in.

Only caution is taking it to 9k. You may want to limint your shifts to 8500.

There are those who successfully run the 2.2 to 9k with the 00-01 ecu also.

I forgot to say I'm in the uk. So what is the difference in these engines? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. So for the uk the 2005 motor is different but can work with my inlet/exhaust manifold etc?

Thanks for the reply! So what are the differences in the engines - I forgot to say i'm in the uk. Neither is a 2.2 as far as i know.

Thanks again

Since you are in the UK, the 2005 motor will drop right in. It is a 2.0 so you have not ECU things to worry about. You might want to pick up the transmission too if you can. they changed the internals and updated the syncros and that alone may be worth what they are selling it for.

AP1Theory

Everything should bolt right up with the '05. It's the '06 and newer engines that would be a little different, but even the '06+ engines would work after you've swap a couple of parts from your old engine. Everything still bolts right into place.
