on the engine block it says the following:

6316184
13T

can someone pls tell if the engine is 3t 1.8 or 2t 1.6 even though it does say 13t on the block


also if the if its worth replacing my existing 2t motor

just need some clarification

someone has fitted a secondhand jap engine to it.
A 13T is a 1.8 nearly identical to a 3T.

hey broken 22,
thanks man
also is it worth while replacing my existing 2t engine with the 13t wat do u think
do u know what jap car the engine is out off
and do u know what the internal differences are between the 13t and 3t engines
cheers man

the 2t actually makes more power (but less torque) than the 13t

Both the 13t and the 3t are a 85/78 bore/stroke and 9:1 compression, so I'd take a guess that the pistons are interchageable (nb: GUESS)

I had a 3T in my TA22 many years ago, and a friend had an identical TA22 with a 2T in it. In any race we were always neck and neck, the 3T just didn't have any more power despite its larger capacity. IMO it's not worth swapping, especially not the 13T which is the light truck version of the 3T.

13T I pulled part had horrible looking emissions crap in the head and funny pistons, Would not consider it an upgrade at all.
