  2. 2.8 VR6 conversion to rebored 2.9 4mo advice please !!!

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    Morning all :) It's been far too long since my last post but those of you that remember and welcomed me joining I'm hoping won't mind helping out a fellow dubber in need ;)

    I'm hoping to snap up a 4motion engine that has been rebored to 2.9L, gas flowed and has uprated clutch, pistons and new timing chain fitted. The seller on ebay says I will need the following to complete the install:

    1) 4Motion Ecu with security removed,

    2) Engine Loom

    3) 4 motion inlet and exhaust manifolds

    4) Injectors

    My query is which of the above 4motion parts if any would need to be modified to compliment a 2.9L 4motion engine ???

    Any advice would much appreciated as the ebay listing ends just before midday today and I'm to know what I'm letting myself in for.

    Thanks in advance guys !!

    Best

    Heartfelt thanks to everyone, you really look after your own ! Sadly she is done for as the chassis is badly bent on the drivers side :( . My only option is to strip n sell to fund a transplant into a mk3 gti shell ( I really want to stay in the 'family' eben if its in a different body ). Keeping my eyes open for a clean donor car with knackered engine / headgasket. My black leather interior will be listed for sale soon along with other bits of trim to help the funding. I just cant let that lump n gearbox go to waste... Here's to hoping....

    Needless to say I'm well gutted as the rest of the car is fine. To expensive to repair so goin on ebay for spares / donor conversion jobbie. Dont have tools, skills or garage else would have stripped it and sold off parts :( . VERY expensive lesson. Will start another thread soon in For Sale section with details of recent upgraded goodies for anyone interested in the car or number plate.....

    Shockin, not even lasted one year as a club member too ;( ;( ;(
