Pretty much as topic states, where's the best places in the UK for this conversion into a mark2? Also how much will i be looking at spending?
There's plenty engines going about but it's just the whole job that seems labour intensive (read nightmare) considering that the mk4 ecu doesn't work unless a lot of pish is transferred (read instruments and steering column)

I know TSR do, (or did) conversions like the one you want, but it seems they know how to charge. Google TSR for the web address and info.

£6700?! i thought it would be a fair bit cheaper than that to be fair like.

Could try storm developments too but they wont be cheap either.
If you can get one for about 4.5k you're doing very well.

JBS Quoted me on this. As below.
We only deal with 1.8T, R32, 2.0TFSi, 1.9+2.0TDi conversions
To give you an idea on 1.8T conversion these start at £7000+VAT little bit cheaper than the R32
Please do note that no one can come close to the quality of work that we carry out we use very late low mileage engine with the highest quality.

cheers guys, that's gotten me rid of that idea then! although a R32 conversion would be nuts.
i guess it's gonna be down to saving up for a ibiza or leon cupra, or a mk4 gti instead cos it turns out to be cheaper for the whole car than just a conversion (all 1.8Ts of course)

or buy an already swapped 1.8T mk2 for 4 grand?
there's one on piston heads, with k04 turbo and standalone management.. 280 comfortable bhp with a little mapping.

^ Aye, good point.

good shout lads! for some reason i never thought of this.. i was thinking crazy westfield with no doors for £4k and just wearing a jacket when it rains :evil:
edit...
anyone got the link for this or any similar? cannae see any

if you buy it i want a go in it :grin:
think it was in leeds btw

Any engine conversion is big money via a garage tho it's all labour time & noone works for nothing now do they! My G60 conversion cost 1500 in labour alone!

nae sh!t.
if i had the engine and ancilleries i was wanting a rough price, my deal or no deal level was at £2.5k excl engine. looks much more likely now that i'll buy a new car with a 1.8T in.
on that note, interest for my gti? :laugh:

What about a very nice looking mk2 VR6 for 3k with RM's http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85233
Or even a SC VR6 mk2 for 4k http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83828
There's some top spec motors out there for half the price of a conversion, why reinvent the wheel. :wink:

20vt for 4k http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84428

Buy or build a Cobra. I built one. The grin will never leave your face. :laugh:
350 BHP from a 5.7 V8. Nothing in the world matched it. RWD. No bolt on goodies such as cruise control, ABS or VVT. No forced induction. No chips. Just a large engine with a 4 barrel carb the size of Bulgaria. Pure motoring. Passed everthing on the road except fuel stations. :grin:
Gonna build another one when I return to the UK in the future.
-
cheers for all the info! links don't work just now, maybe cos i'm at work.
i'll keep all the options open just now but in a few months i'll be looking at getting a new car :cool:

QPeng do the loom for the digi and k-jet managements
Do all the fitting and plumbing yourself, buy the loom for £1200 i think, plug and play then you are done!
Just an idea of course :wink:

cool, i was having a sneaky look at qpeng earlier and thought it was just for digi.
don't know about the idea of having a standard gbox on the 1.8T though, especially when i get big turbo plans :evil:
