This may be a stupid question on a 1.8T conversion, sorry if it is?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Basically I can get my hand on a 1.8T complete engine with loom, and ignition barrel and key, so basically everything i need.

 

I am not sure which model the engine is, but can find out later tonight. Also how can I tell what engine code the engine is?

 

I have a 1991 corrado KR 1.8 16v and my question is this a straight fit into my engine bay? will it fit onto my subframe, will I need to alter the driveshafts and will the loom just plug into my original loom, will I need to change the gear linkage and lever, will I need to change the pedal box, ect?

 

Can I do the conversion over a weekend?

 

How easy will this be to do?

 

Please shed some light on this and share some thoughts please.

 

Cheers

 

Bobby

the engine code is written on the head, beside the timing belt cover.

 

there is a post dedicated to 1.8t conversions here which should answer all your questions:

doing the conversion over a weekend is ambitious, especially if you end up missing 1 part and all shops are closed.

Thanks Paddy, I think the thread above should provide sufficient answers.
