Re: Passat engine swap
I just swapped a vr6 for a vr6 in my 95 its not <i>too</i> bad, but unless you're doing the work it will get expensive.. the thing is if you're coming up from a 2.0 you're going to need a trans for it to assu,ing you want a 5spd an 02A, drive axles, then you would want the vr6 subframe, essentially the whole front suspension needs to get upgraded, then theres the matter of swapping out your computer, wire harness and the little matter of hydraulic clutch if you opt for a manual...unless you get a cable clutch conversion kit... but then you need to do an exhaust system as well and some other odds and ends. The fuel pump may need to be swapped out because I dont know what the pressure on the 2.0 calls for I know my fuel pump on my car is a 4 bar which is more than enough because fuel pressure is regulated but its something that needs to be considered because an engine running lean is just as bad as an engine running low on oil. the project would take some time...but its not necessarly the time or work involved...its an entire conversion and it requires $..so if you have it and want to go through with it bad enough by all means.
