and another thought, with the flywheel etc 1.8 cvh flywheel and clutch i gather the same fitment and definately fine for type 9 gearbox keeping things simple then the bit i am not sure about, the front pulley from the 1.8 cvh (needed for the crank sensor) will this fit? then the next bit about which sensor to use will it all work? the theory is there but its the pratice bit that fails!!!! also using the plenum on ebay nice piece of kit which allows the steering through and the standard ecu the thoughts and practical info please. NICE IDEAS END UP IN THE BIN!!!!!

1.8 zetec flywheel is the way to go. Has the reluctor ring in the back and the VR sensor sits in the block reading the 36-1.

im def planing on going down the megasquirt route when i go zetec im not sure if just to fit my 1.8 cvh and then change over to a zetec post iva or fit a zetec as i build it up and not mess around

im finding it real tempting just to buy a brand new crate motor i have seen meny 1.8 blacktops for around £400 and 2l for £600 complete with manifolds injectors coil pack etc. etc. BARGIN

when you add it up buy and used motor then bits to make it work and new cam belt, water pumps and possible even a rebuild its better value and higher resale just to fit a new motor

thats my take on it anyway
