#1: Gti Engine Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 2:46 pm ---- I know engine conversations have been covered a million times and people say it's easier to just buy a gti but I've done to much to the car to just get rid of it. Anyway all I want to know is if that my 1.4 preplex loom will plug into a gti preplex engine?

Then you could swap all the looms and suspension etc

#4: Re: Gti Engine Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 3:11 pm ---- if you can do the conversion urself then it is good.
#5: Re: Gti Engine Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 3:14 pm ---- Yeah id be able to do the conversion myself it's just the loom I'm unsure about
#6: Re: Gti Engine Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 3:17 pm ---- pretty sure you will need the gti loom....

this sounds like a much better idea
