International Lancia Forums

hello!
who has experience or can tell me something about an engine exchange :
the turbo version engine 1995ccm turbo ie 16v is as far as i know (in my case its a 177hp with catalyst)
the same engine in Lancia THEMA and Lancia DELTA.
Question:is it possible to "transplant" the engine from Lancia Thema (turbo 16v) into Lancia Delta 2
confidently without larger problems, the same way as if the engine would be from Lancia Delta (2) ?
kind regards, dakis

Engine is the same. You need bouth engines so you can puth parts from delta engine on thema engine for fitting the thema engine in delta.

Sorry for bad english

Hello Dakis And Matija:
I´m from Chile and want to do the same.
But, wath about the intercoller and oil radiator, were you put it, and the engine souports, they are differents, you changethe complete engine ore you keep the delta engine and gear box and put the electrical sistem, turbo, inyectors, and other necessary pats from Thema. I think that thema engine must be heavyer, wath about the chasiss, will resist. ? So many questions before do it. Are you be able to help.
Thanks and sorry my spelling.
