GTI IV engine into a III?

Just wonderings if its possable to fit a IV GTI 1.8t engine into my 96 GTI? And what else would i need to make the car work?

Will bolt right in. Will need all the stuff from the IV. Recommend not trying it yourself. Will most likely have wiring issues. Just be careful!!!!:wink:

Does it matter if my cars a VR6 or a 4cyl? which ones easyer to swap

If you already have a VR6 in it, why not just leave it?:confused:

turbo is faster :bigthumb:

It should go right together no matter what came out of it. The only problems will be in the wiring. You may have to work at getting the wiring to go where you need it.

what about transmitions and clutches.. dont need to change those?

Everything will bolt up to the engine. You have to use the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate together. You can not use one of the new parts and one of the old parts. They are different. Either use the new or the old.

but yea.. my friend actually has a Jetta 2.0 and he said he would trade cars with me if i needed too(both our cars are stock anyways).. so is putting in a 1.8t engine easyer into a 4cyl car or a 6cyl car?? what do u think?

A 4 cyl. because it's closer to the same thing.

Can u buy the new engines with the turbo already somewhere cause i cant find anything.. or what?? help plz! thx

You get them from a junk yard or dismantler (Like RPI). They do a lot of conversions. Try to look up "Volkswagen Engine Swap" in your search engine. They do it a lot in Canada and England.:bigthumb:

Whats RPI

RPI is located at rpiequipped.com. They have used 1.8 20v's for like $3,500 or a VR6 for $2,500. They come with ignition, exhaust, injection, etc. Also try putting "Volkswagen Engine Conversion" in your search. It will come up with lots of different places that do swaps.:wink:
