hello does anybody know how much a 1.8 sov turbo conversion would cost me. i got a 2.0l 8v colour concept and the performance is quite pathetic but i love my car so much to sell it and buy a faster one so thought engine conversion seemed the best bet, want to know a rough estimate so cam start saving. cheers
Are you saying you have a mk4 then- is that what a colour concept is?! If so, a conversion would be extremely long winded - better to save to get a mk420vt.
no it is a mk3 golf. i want the mk4 20v turbo engine seen some people have done conversion for around 2-3 grand just trying to get an overal price. just standard engine conversion for now then i can uprate it slowly to achieve more bhp
thats quite a trek for me my mates a mechanic so trying to persuade him into doing the job he rekons putting engine in is piece of p i s s but loom will have to be done by auto electrician. how much did it cost you for the conversion not including fitting. i can see yours is far from standard so what do you reckon on a standard 150 engine and all ancilaries
Try emailing info@qpeng.co.uk - they can supply a plug and play kit, and I believe they know people who might be interested in undertaking the conversion for you.
cheers mate thanks for your time. will be posting pics of mine soon as wheels back from powder coatin
1200 is usually good for a engine and loom. mine was done at dubsport originally. since then, 2 of my mates have been playing with it. engines been in and out a few times. most of the work is pretty straight forward. plenty of room. good luck. john
