mk2 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 It'll be cheaper to buy a different car. Lots of work. Lots to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Everything that's different. Have a look at online manuals, engine bay pics, wiring diagrams etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObjectiveAway Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 You will need whats called "full swap" - engine, wiring, gearbox, all pipes, ecu. Not as hard as turbo swap, but it takes nerve to swap to another engine. I just removed my engine by just lifting engine and gearbox with jack and holding them with hands.

Stephenmacleod Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 you'll probably be best with a donor car. but you've got to weigh up the pro's and cons for it really, cost of a donor car (maybe 3-400 at a push if you find a rough one, then all the effort of swapping it over, then the need for modified insurance (plenty of companies about, greenlight, brentacre, adrian flux etc) whereas you might just be easier buying a 1.4 in the first place. Would be understandable if you wanted to go for a 6n2 GTi engine swap or a lupo gti motor swap, or even 1.8T (with a hell of a lot more work involved) as they didn't do a non GTi with the 1.6 and certainly didn't do a 1.8T, but IMO it just isn't worth doing a 1.0 to a 1.4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephenmacleod Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Also if your gearbox does fit (which i suspect it would but not 100%) a 1l gearbox you'd have decent acceleration but you'd have absolutely no top end, you'll just blow your box to bits if you give it some welly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
