20vt engine !!

just a thought but hw much should i be looking at paying for a 20vt ????

With loom, Ecu, clocks, ignition barrel, turbo etc I'd say your looking at about £1k - £1300 for a 150Bhp with Decent mileage or £1500 for a good 225BAM or 180Bhp.

Or if you want to run it on Stand alone Ecu - Qpeng etc. I think you can pick one up with just the turbo for about £800 - But dont expect it to be under 80k miles. Qpengs about £1200 I think - So your best off spending a little more in the first place if you dont mind the headache of wiring

Probably the best/cheapest way is to buy an accident damaged car - strip the bits you want and then sell off spares to get your money back.

I agree with Gaz.I also have to point out that a good route to go for it goin modern engine is DTA.Faulttless and much better than standard ecu but they are 950 quid with harness but will never fail.to do the whole lot you would probably be looking at 2500 all in as you will need custom downpipe (qpen again) and a whole host of other things including doing the wiring.

well would you say i was better off staying with my original plan and get 1.8/2.0l 16v ????

its worth spending extra to get a BAM rather than tune an AGU etc if power`s what your after pound for pound it will be cheaper. the 225`s have bigger VGT so also less lag - better range of power. and can be remaped to 260ish withought changing anything else
