Yes, the engines are the same between the two essentially I thought..hi all,
just a quick question would a 318is head fit to a 318i block? and is it possiable to do? just a thought tho. :confused
Apart from one being 8 valve and the other 16.Yes, the engines are the same between the two essentially I thought..
The block is the same casting Im pretty sure. Forgot about the valve issue as I dont deal with 'weeners', but anythings possible given brains and money.Apart from one being 8 valve and the other 16.
So if the cylinder head fits the block then you'll need the engine loom and ecu ( if EWS present you'll also need the EWS module and chip in the ignition key) complete cylinder head and that's where my knowledge stops apart from adding that the brakes are larger on the front IIRC and has discs on the rear. Also the 318i runs a single coil where the 318is runs separate coils for each cylinder which will require the support bracket to attach them to the OSF suspension turret.
There's probably more but it not something my knowledge stretches to and isn't a question i've ever thought of asking
