M271 C180k v C200k

[JBond]

I'm in the middle of changing an engine on a C200 K (2007 model).

I know the C200k is slightly faster than the C180k am I right in thinking the gains are from the ECU / Kompressor?

Basically, what I would like to know is can I use the engine block from a C180k (2005 model) on my C200k (2007 model) and then add on my orginal kompressor and additional parts?

The The Complete M271 Engine thread might be useful. I also recommend the search feature!

M271 C180k v C200k

Right nice one

Spent the last 30mins reading through the whole of that thread, very interesting reading and the answer is 'the pistons are different'.

Still would like to know if I can just swap a C200k engine with a C180K engine? I was unsure if there would be any problems with the ECU still thinking the engine was a C200k engine???

By the way luv the mods on R2D2's W203
