swap into a '94 GTI
I was wondering if anyone knew a shop in the GTA that could swap a 1.8T engine into a mkIII gti? And also, if anyone knows where I could find a 1.8T engine? Thanks!

Theres alot of shops that can do it for you.
Heres a few shops that come to mind; - SEM - Strictly European Motorsports - European Speed Sport - Lukazports - H2Sport Its all about money. How much do you have to spend will determine which motor you get. For labour your looking at 2000$ and up..Motor & tranny, wiring, etc your looking at(at least the cheapest Ive seen it) about 1800$ But once the swap is done, damn its a whole different story. |
what do u mean by a whole diff story?
as in bugs that u have to fix and figure out? |

Yea performence wise,
Depending which motor you get(150 or 180HP) mods can be done to increase HP without killing yourself over the money; ECU chip/flash - 400-700$ - 30-45HP - 35-55 TQ Turboback Exhaust - 450-1200$ - 15-20HP - 15-20TQ Since this is going into a MK3, Im not sure what the exhaust system would be. Also Im guessing the HP. Different brands and sizes give different HP.. |
which engine would be better?
|
Depends on what power you want. The AWD has the lowest compression, but it also makes 150/crank HP..AWP makes 180HP but has higher compression.
Also depends on your money situation. If you have 10G's to spend, you can get 180HP/6spd tranny, LSD, plus a mild turbo upgrade and be in the 300HP range... |
btw - you're gonna want to do the maintenance on the motor before it actually goes in - gaskets, flanges, fluid changes, etc. The shop shouldn't charge you that much more for the labour - since the motor is already out of the car.
You don't know the true story behind the motor - Save yourself the hassle before it gets worse |
^^ What he said. Make sure you do the timing belt & water pump. <-- Most important things.
