B6 and BP CAS interchangeability

Postby plohl » Fri Jul 20, 2012 7:48 am

Hey,

Just to confirm, (pretty sure they are interchangeable) are the B6 and BP CAS (Crank/cam angle sensor) able to be swapped between the engine platforms?

HI Mate,

just by chance i stumbled across this page.
It seems to say the CAS is interchangable.

http://www.jspecauto.com/files/jspecautotechcenter5b.htm

Since the 1.8 is really just a stretched 1.6, most everything on the front and back of the motor will interchange between the them. This includes the cam angle sensor, coolant intake pipes, flywheel/clutch assembly, various covers and brackets, cam gears, water pump, and timing belt tensioner, etc.

I know Geoff (sabretooth) was using a B6 CAS on his BP.

Yep.
I put a BP one into a B6 ages ago.

It's a mitsu part and can also be substituted with some 4 cyl mitsu's (Early EVO from memory).
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
