#1: Engine Swap Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:26 pm ---- I know this has probably been covered loads of times But i have a phase 1 1.4 8v and was just wandering what engines i could drop straight in?
#2: Re: Engine Swap Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:27 pm ---- if its preplexed, probably easy to stick unless you want to remove whole wiring and replace with multiplexed.
Or do you mean other car engines like the gti-6 etc?
#3: Re: Engine Swap Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:29 pm ---- You mean if its easier it probably just easier to stick with my engine? Im not to sure to be honest i was just looking at options, would consider anything. But without changing all the wiring lol.
#4: Re: Engine Swap Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:42 pm ---- If its preplexed, then its easier to stick with preplexed engines like the early 1.6, 2.0 gti etc
But if you want something like a 180 engine then its more difficult as whole wiring needs changing in car as its multiplexed.
a gti-6 engine will fit fine in a preplexed for sure as racerxbon did it.
What year is your pug?

A phase 1 1.4 8v will drop straight in.

#8: Re: Engine Swap Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:51 pm ---- I have a pre-plexed GTi engine for sale
Reading isn't too far from Salisbury.
its the bits around it like sensors that maybe slightly different.
He said ''But without changing all the wiring''.
So as a no hassle straight swop, I still think like for like is the easiest solution.
if you put it that way your right,
but changing a few sensors is easyer than getting the engine in and out so its not hard.

#16: Re: Engine Swap Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 7:32 pm ---- To fit a GTi engine, you will need to change the wiring and gearbox too!!
#17: Re: Engine Swap Author: deadmanj, Location: leedsPosted: Thu Nov 18, 2010 2:27 pm ---- im thinking the same thing, i currently have a 1.4 8v in a 54 plate, what are my options?
