anyone got a pic of the later engine as a coparison

[I want a T5]

Isnt that a throttle cable to the right of the cam cover? ME7 is an electronic throttle so no cable.

ME7 (tarted up a bit but thats the layout)

sure i read somewhere a me7 inlet manifold flows better than a 850 manifold or is that just the exhaust manifold? Am thinkin out loud about a me7 inlet on mine with a 960 throttle body

Easiest way I tell is the throttle cable..

Thought you was selling??

[jayeastanglia]

Thought you was selling??

well yeah but if it dont sell then i get to keep it or get another one(but modify that one or get a 240 and stuff in a T5 engine)..there is a v70r in a scrap yard near me,its had a big smack in the back end and has no interior or suspension but engine is in it still..Am thinking of in the future for mods..and if I didnt advertise it wife will say I havent tried to sell it and its only advertised on here and ebay to keep wife happy :smile:

Sorry for kick starting an old thread, but the ME7 has VVT yes?? where the previous engines did not??

[M-R-P]

VVT on the exhaust side for the early ones, both sides for the R models IIRC.
