You're putting in a 1.9l Digijet engine in a van set up for a 2.1l Digifant system? You gotta make a decision on which way to go, DigiJet or DigiFant. There are a lot of differences, pros and cons to each, and many listmembers have their own opinions on each. NOT a straight swap! Saving some bread on a good used replacement instead of a rebuild is OK, but some choices are required, as they have totally different Fuel injection systems! Let us have some more info on what you had in mind, and maybe the list can advise. Doug in CT
