Post by Tekno on Oct 29th, 2011, 9:34pm
Hello,

is there anyone that has done this, and can provide information on hoses etc, which goes where and setting up VIS?

once I get old manifold out, I may ask tricky questions  ;D

You can't set up a fully working VIS on the 2.3 as the ECU isn't programed to used it. Otherwise you can solve the problem with a RPM switch. The advantages of the 2.0 manifold on the 2.0 are pretty nice. After i have done the swap i have obtained a ~20% better fuel economy when keeping revs below 3000 rpm, also the low end torque is allot more better.

2L 16V has twin throttle butterflies so will also need the twin VIS unit and inlet hoses set-up, I believe something different about the thermostat or coolant plumbing as well. But Ipresume you've already looked at pictures? ;D

How about using WOT Relay? My car is automatic, which means revs are at least 3200 when WOT relay gives voltage (?). Also when cruising legal speeds, revs are under 3200..

thermostat and coolant things look pretty same, except 2.0 16v has egr pipe welded together with coolant pipe  :o

I have now detached 2.3 16V inlet manifold.

2.0 16V inlet is under my investigation and needs good clean, new coolant temp sensor (leaking?) and thermostat gasket.

Are you 200% sure ecu isnt programmed for VIS?

I still want to check this ecu pin:
44      WH Intake Air Control Valve   (VIS)      2      C768

would be easy if that still exists in 2.3

Post by Matt on Oct 31st, 2011, 11:05am
I did the conversion a good 3 years ago now

The 2.0 intake manifold have one less vacumme connection to the 2.3 so you need to T into one of the smaller ones

The brake servo vac connection fits but iirc it needs a little re-routing

Youll need the complete 2.0 intake from the air box to the throttle bodies

Youll need to cut and extend the idle control wiring and agsin iirc youll have to refit the 2.3 idle valve so the bonnet doesnt foul it

If you fit the 2.0 head and cams youll end up with a nice engine as you will essentially built a RS2300 lump  ;)

Exhaust manifolds are the same

Post by Matt on Oct 31st, 2011, 10:13pm
Its the cams and the bowls in the head are slightly smaller so the compression is upped slightly

Title: Re: Fitting 2.0 16V inlet manifold to 2.3 ...
Post by Mike H on Oct 31st, 2011, 10:50pm
So no problem then with ECU using the different inlet and stuff?

Title: Re: Fitting 2.0 16V inlet manifold to 2.3 ...
Post by Matt on Nov 1st, 2011, 9:09am
Not that i found,

The engine will suck more air through thr 2.0 manifold as the diameter of the twin butterflys is greater then the single one on the plastic 2.3 one

Hardest bit i found was trying ti get the 2 vac hoses on that are on the underside of the 2.0 manifold

how about using vis solenoid but use WOT relay to control it to close/open flap?

Title: Re: Fitting 2.0 16V inlet manifold to 2.3 ...
Post by Tompion on Nov 3rd, 2011, 12:22pm
Vis is about tuning the inlet to suit either the lower rev range or the upper rev range.

So linking it to WOT means you're likely to get the worst of both worlds - cutting in too early in the lower rev range & cutting out too early in the upper rev range.

but I have automatic transmission. WOT = high revs, always (and vice versa, except for second before it upshift after acceleration...)

Have to confess I am confused as well, apparently Matt has done it without worrying about rpm or WOT switches and things

Post by Tompion on Nov 5th, 2011, 7:42pm
It'll run whether you use it or not, what effect it has on the 4 cylinder engines I don’t know.

Details about it with the 24v are here:
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/vis.htm

Title: Re: Fitting 2.0 16V inlet manifold to 2.3 ...
Post by Tompion on Nov 5th, 2011, 8:10pm
Matt posted scans of a Technical Training manual here:
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=admin;action=display;num=1290587487

On pages 27 & 40 of the pdf (25 & 38 on the pages themselves) you’ll see details of the 2.0l VIS.

Of the 2.3 a technical training manual I have says:
“The torque curve is particularly well-balanced at both low and moderate engine speeds so that a torque of over 185 Nm is continuously available from 2000 rev/min upwards.
This favourable torque curve eliminates the need for a VIS system.”

Title: Re: Fitting 2.0 16V inlet manifold to 2.3 ...
Post by Tekno on Nov 5th, 2011, 8:18pm
if you just ignore VIS in 2.0 inlet, it's always in "high rpm" -mode (butterfly open). that's not good as it would be. Or if you just connect it to vacuum, it's always in "low rpm" -mode (butterfly closed)

so you lose some of low rpm torque but getter better high, or lose high rpm torque and get better low end if you ignore it. rpm switch would be best thing, but I think using WOT relay works good ENOUGH, or at least is better than ignoring whole VIS and it costs nothing to use it. but apparently in manual car that's not gonna work because rpm's can be lower than 3200 even if pedal is floored

Hello, next question:

in my 2.3, around engine comes 2 metal pipes, another, which is bigger diameter is EGR<->Throttle body

BUT

another one? its a little smaller, comes close to egr pipe, but I dont see where it goes? from near throttle body to somewhere, where? what is it? It has black carbon residue inside, so it's not water hose, but vacuum or egr? 2 egr pipes? wtf?

if someone has 2.3 and can have a look, PLEEEASE tell me.

The other pipe coming round the engine is from the engine breather located at the back of the engine under the exhaust manifold. It’s the canister you can see behind the dipstick tube on page 3 of this PDF:

Post by Tompion on Nov 6th, 2011, 3:32pm
On the 2.3 it connects to a stub at the back of the inlet manifold close to where the EGR connects. It connects using a 90 degree push on rubber connector.

It helps maintain negative pressure in engine areas outside of the compression chamber, which helps reduce oil getting by the pistons & pressure on sump gasket etc. You'll get a certain amount of blow by past the pistons venting through it.

I have fitted 3 2.0 inlets to different  2.3's now  i have never connected up the vis and not had a problem

 i just used everything off the 2.0 and slightly modded the loom as the intake sensor wire has a different plug and extended the iscv wires   , i fitted the 2.3 temp sensors into the 2.0 manifold  . they all seemed a bit better on fuel aferwards too  .

And there all on the road still . ;) :)

3: TCS or Cruise ? What do with this?
4: two identical pipes at rear of throttle body? again, purpose?
6: pipe that comes from fuel pressure regulator, it was connected to 2.3 inlet manifold

I spent half an hour looking at this:

http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/engines/dohc16v/DOHC16VRemeNG.pdf

... didn't really get me anywhere  >:(

3. I think TCS only comes with 24V, if so looks like cruise, however your throttle control looks like mine, no attachment for cruise. (?)

1. I imagine that's what makes the VIS variable, there's a "VIS vacuum motor" mentioned page 3 of PDF.

Need someone else to identify!

Post by Tekno on Nov 13th, 2011, 8:40pm
I know my 2.3 has TCS, so it is either it or cruise.

"VIS Vacuum motor" must mean vacuum valve behind throttle body (?). afaik it needs on/off suction for rpm change of <3200 and >3200 . But problem is, there is 3 same kind of hose connectors next to it. What is for Vis and which 2 are for other devices like vacuum regulator etc? PIC needed!

The thin push on hose to the fuel pressure regulator is a vacuum hose. It lowers the pressure slightly on over-run & tickover.

Just checked on my 2.3.
The diagnostic shows the readings for the instrument panel sensor.

With the gauge sender disconnected the diagnostic shows 255 & the needle is at minimum.
With the gauge sender disconnected and the 2 wires in the plug shorted it shows 5-c & the needle is at maximum.
It’s actually S-C

temp gauge problem *solved*

idle valve and sensor had wires swapped  :D

I had a look of inlet manifold. Only holes visible was two M8, where I did put short bolts. Nothing changed...

GOOD picture of 2.0 16v inlet manifold showing breather pipe connections is now worth of gold! Anyone have one manifold around lying?

With maf not connected, runs bad idle, and when revved, rpms stay high.. means it just gets air from somwhere.
With maf connected idle is horrible, about 100-200 rpm, and it runs VERY LEAN. Got a look with wideband lambda. 1:20 - 1:30 fuel:air

Are you thinkin what I'm thinking? It's impossible to add breather hoses afterwards without detaching whole inlet manifold? because it's on other side of manifold (not showing in pic)
