putting a OBD2 turbo vr6 engine into my OBD1 vr6? straight swap?

[paceo 22]

im scrapping the charger idea as the car was a dog. as title, my car is a 0BD1 vr6 1992.

 

i may have the opportunity to buy a rotton ODB2 turbo golf vr6 thats rotton, mapped by stealth racing.

 

would it just be a straight swap into my OBD1 vr6? engine, OBD2 loom into fusebox and mapped ecu? simple as that?

 

also the gearbox in knackered. so would my standard gearbox handle 300.6bhp? uprated clutch needed maybe??

Yeah it should be as long as you swap everything, loom, ecu, fuse boxes are the Same so don't do that.

I'm selling a twin plate helix clutch if your interested.

how much for the clutch buddy?

 

will the standard gearbox cope with 300bhp at 7psi?

 

maybe cope with more if i get the boost upped if mapped? or will gearbox say goodbye?

Pretty sure I've ready on here std gearbox copes to circa 350bhp? But I guess it's all relative, has it been maintained well etc.

it will be my original gearbox buddy, runs very well for the last 5 years, changed the oil in it, given it hell and pulls great still!!

Standard gearbox is good for upto about 400 but it depends how you drive and how its mapped big boost coming in strong can eat the gearbox as per Tony Walter and Jim Potter.

It's the torque not the bhp
