2.0ltr 16V Turbo

[sparky]

Right, I've decided to put a 2ltr 16V turbo or non turbo engine into my GSI, how much of a nightmare is this job?

Read that already and it didn't really help.

right basically you will need:

Engine

Turbo

Intercooler

engine bay wiring loom

ECU

modified/new driveshafts

uprated engine mountings

Gearbox

and will need to either fit a strengthing kit or seam weld the engine bay.

basically all the mechanics of the conversion are quite basic and should be quite straight forward what you will probably struggle the most with is the wiring. it is quite awkward as when you are putting the turbo engine in it is VERY tight around the bay and you will rpobably hurt your hands a bit.
