right folks was out driving today engine thought it would blow up again
I aint gonna fix it

getting a vr6 on tuesday 2.8 chipped
600quid all running gear brakes etc for the conversion

how much of a chew on is it to fit as me and a few friends
are gonna attempt fitting it

[silkyballs]

as long as you have the loom you'll be fine dude!go for it!ive just done a 2ltr conversion with my mate on mine.gonna try and start it tomoz then we will see if what everybody said was impossible is possible!didgifant to k jet??tommorrow will tell!

[VR6_ROB]

yeah I get the loom with it
think they just plug straight in

does any1 no where i can find a write up on a conversion
step by step stuff so i no what im in for

[Mr Blue]

engine will drop in alrite i guess

The wiring loom might be a pain though. ive heard that you need a cutsom exhaust and stuff built up but im no expert

you have to think about stopping power too. crap 8v breaks wont be good enough

[...joe]

i think you need a few extras, not just engine and loom. it makes it easier if you have a late spec fuse box (with hazards on steering column) in terms of wiring. you need a vibratechnics engine mount, they do a specific one for the conversion. like blue said i think the exhaust needs a proper manifold to do it properly. a corrado radiator fits better and then you'll have to decide what drive shafts you use, if you'll stick to 4 or change to 5 stud hubs etc. and you may need different springs up front just to cope with the extra weight a vr6 has.

startin to sound complicated now this
dont think ill bother save my money but i am sick of it breakin
they must be something wrong for the gasket to go in short amount of time

[Mr Blue]

there are a few 2.0 8v lumps on eGay that would drop straight in Roberto

[silkyballs]
