Engine swap
 

I've currently got a 1.6 bugeye, I'm getting a 2 litre engine soon I'm wanting to know would it go straight in? Or do I need to swap the driveshafts too?

Drive shafts are the least of your worries, will need loom changing and ecu and quite a few other bits, not even sure the gearbox will match up to that engine so possibly a diff and box as well as hubs and shafts. And of course 2l brakes

I've been told that the loom would be alright, I knew I'd have to do the breaks and stuff though

2 litre turbo or N/A?

I can't seer any possible reason to do this swap, rather than just buying a 2l Bug in the first place, other than an insurance scam?

na, I just want a bit more power that's all

Don't bother then, you'll spend more doing the conversion than you would chopping yours in for a wrx.

I only wanted to do it because the engine was free, it was taking up space in a friends garage

Ah k, need alot more than just the engine though so i'd pass

Hi,
If you need any help with insurance at all for this type of conversion then please feel free to drop me a line.
