#16: Re: Engine Conversion Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:04 pm ---- All GTI 180's are multiplexed so if your car is also multiplexed it will be a lot easier to get the lump running.
Get the VIN number of the car the engine & ecu comes from so you can then get hold of the security code
If you can also grab the BSI unit & the transponder chip.
#17: Re: Engine Conversion Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:10 pm ---- also easily achievable and easily affordable is two different things....cams fitted.. about £1500 -£2000.....ITB- £2500 - £3000... fully forgeing an engine god knows but even if we say £2000 for arguments sake thats £7000 plus the price of the car... is it really worth it? especially when for that money think of the car you could have...
#18: Re: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:30 pm ---- ill be fitting all this myself, cat cams for 600, jenvey ITB's 1500, pistons 400, can grab an engine for 500 with a gearbox only done 30K then a remap for 400 been estimated at about 295 with the full supersprint system with de cat and induction, plus its a project im looking forward too, but i know what you mean about the car i could get with that money, cheers for the advice

#20: Re: Engine Conversion Author: greg.mitchell350, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 4:11 pm ---- there is a lot of difference but it is all do-able. I started converting my XSI to a GTI but buying a flat took over and it's on hold/maybe breaking. You need a new subframe, anti-roll bar, coolant reservoir and pipes, gear linkages. And that's just of the top of my head. PM if you want any advice, also if your looking for some parts I may have them.
yeah asking if they were ok haha, just an idea, anyone know if they are the same ? just keen on seeing how much break been told easyily over 270 with cams, pistons, throttle bodies and re map

Kingdom forgot to factor in one thing, Insurance and this being your 1st car????
Its a dream many have had, but ultimately, pointless/worthless/stupid/expensive.

Kurtis did. He was a '206 master' though. Hmm...

Has the recent Jersey rally raised your enthusiasm.... I can shave some money off those prices BTW. You will need to swat up on what your doing though, The ECU wont take a re-map so you will need a piggy back ECU to run the ITB`s
