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

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..

[quote=merc85;452556]Thought you was selling??[/quote] 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??

Post 496795 by M-R-P on 2012-05-10 09:39:54

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