ITR Engine swap??

[Bong_the_Monkey]

I was wondering what engines would easily swap into the Revell ITR engine bay? Any ideas? Also what color should I make the exterior? The interior will most likely be a mix of flat and gloss black to look like leather.

Im wondering why are u swapping a different motor into a ITR for? The iTR motor looks nice already.

I've done one, finished it a few weeks ago.

I used a V6 twin turbo engine. I ordered the engine from a site. It fit pretty well. I had to cut a few things but if fit alright.

I was thinking of putting an engine from a Ferrari such as an F-40.

My idea was to complete the chassis of the ferrari and modify everything to fit it onto the ITR. Some day I hope I will do something similar to a Japanese car, model I mean.

P.S. Don't take any of my ideas.

Sure it may look nice but he may want something better.

I was thinking that too, but wasnt sure.

the dodge stealth V6 TT fits in pretty good, with little cutting to make it fit. to my knowledge thats all, im thinking of doing a 2JZ in to my current one that im working on

i know of someone who is doing a 300zx TT motor swap into a ITR, he says its a little work but, any v6 swap is a feat in my eyes:sun:

ive tried it and it wont work, u would have to extend the body an extra 5mm-10mm for it to fit, some one owuld have to have great skill for this! i think FOTW can do it!

ok well let me refrase that , it take ALOT of work, i have never seen it , only thru words

the revell chevy citation comes with a 2.8 v6 with a turbo that fits good.

Is the citation engine FWD?? I am interested in this engine swap now, I was thinking of swapping engines because well, my stock ITR kit engine looks like hell.

[chevyeuro93]

yea it is. the kit is the revell chevy citation 3'n'1

[Bong_the_Monkey]

Chevyeuro93, you wouldn't happen to have the instructions for this kit would you? If so, can you scan me the engine build up?

Not to be mean but lets look at the specs Citation-2.8L, ITR-1.8L, Citation V6, ITR-Inline 4, Citation-Turbo, ITR-N/A.

Now the ITR engine might be molded better than the Citation but it would be a better engine in real life and besides I can resin cast the Citation engine and use them for any curbside kit that I get and want to drop an engine it.
