How hard is it to get a MY94 import engine in to a MY96 UK 2000?

I take it the ecu you will need to be changed but having both cars side by side when doing it will it be alot of work?

Note, My94 in full working order, My96 bottem end gone!

 

Just swap the block mate, you may have issues with the inlet manifold and engine wiring loom. Better just to use the existing loom and ecu. I did this the other way round.

 

Ok it looks like this is what im gona have to do but what about the better T5 turbo on the older car? Is there away to get this on the newer engine or im i going to have to get another turbo?

 

early cars are side entry turbo, newer are front entry

 

Looks like i have a Tdo5 up for sale then? How much are they worth and were can i get the right one for this new car i have? My96???

 

if your engine has a front entry turbo on, simply swap all of your ancil's and manifold onto the new engine complete and the car will run perfectly fine - no need to get involved in swapping the ECU or whatever

forgot to add if your car has the older style 90deg turbio set-up then everything swaps straight across - same manifold, etc. on the import car

Also, you can get new covers for the td05-16 with the 90 deg to convert it to front entry. I know for definite that Andy Forrest sells them, and other may as well.

 

Great thanks alot guys!!!!

Called andy and he said he can send me the housing for £60!

Then i found someone who had a Apexi ecu and only wanted £200 for it

And specking to Simon (aka Jolly green monster) about the remap to the new turbo!

What sort of power do you think im looking at?
