Re: need new engine
Well that would be the exact same thing...the vr4 engines are TT, so to drop a vr4 engine in would entail the TT conversion.

Re: need new engine

Re: need new engine
But stuff like the pump won't be there so check out what you need that is not part of the engine.

the thing is, if you drop a VR4 engine in, you'll have a TT FWD car, and you'll then need to convert the AWD tranny into a FWD tranny. some have welded the VCUs, others have welded the planetary gear sets to make the AWD to FWD switch. So you'll have a pretty stout car, but you won't have the all wheel drive traction of a real VR4, nor will you have the 4 wheel steering of a VR4. There's a lot involved in doing this swap you wanna do...and since you're having a mechanic do it, i know labor is gonna be out the wazoo!
basically, you're probably just better off buying a VR4, for the money you'll be spending on this swap.
