I have a 2010 R56 1.6l non s engine and I have an opportunity to buy a 2011 countryman with a toasted engine...are they the same so i could just do the swap and get it up and running?

 

 

 

I decoded the vin on the r56 and it is saying n12 engine code..its the non s...i need to decode the countryman but its looking like a no go

 

non s is actually an N12 on your car....As mario said, once you cross the 2011 mark, you are enter the new designed engines (N18 and N16). what are the details on the Countryman?

 

They overheated it and are saying 2 dead cylinders...i confirmed n16 on the countryman

 

could i pull an n16 from a clubman, reg mini, etc non s engine with all covers, injectors, coil, plugs,etc and drop it in using the computer and all from the countyman?

 

You might be able to do it but here are few things to consider:
1- Mating the new DME to the existing CAS
2- checking the DME connector that goes inside the car.
3- you have to pull the engine with all accessories that come with it including the wiring harness.

 

well my plan would be to leave the cas and dme in the countryman that is came with and only replace the long block...the countryman is complete so couldnt i just use the harness on the blown engine and transfer it to the replacement long block if the connector is not the same. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here...i am just trying to get the car running and drivable again. I would be swapping a n16 for an n16...i am going to try and get one from a countryman but there is a chance i may get one from a clubman or a regular cooper. in that case i dont know if i will have to swap injectors, plugs, wires, coil, starter, etc

 

You lost my friend....your car is a 2010 cooper right? It has an N12 engine not N16.

 

I am buying a newer wreck with n16...just figuring out which options i have
