Title: 20V T items
Post by: Gash on 21 June 2012, 17:50
right its time for me to ask one of these questions haha.

well as i said in the other thread iv got an issue with the engine and am thinking of 20v my car.
Bit newer engine and less miles than mine.

anyways i know what parts i need etc (luckily only a few because iv got a 16v)
but iv seen this engine (comes with a delocked ecu with remap which is good)

but say it doesnt have bits like water pump, alternator etc etc (all the small things that attach on the engine) can i use the ones that are on my abf?

can't use those ABF parts, but those bits are not expensive or hard to source

Just as easy to code a key.

Wouldnt pay more than £500 for a full conversion now.  prices are sooo cheap.

That's cheap!

I'm still looking for a 4motion only want to pay £1500 for the car then hoping to get half that back with the parts I don't want/need.
