power increase is immense, i need some bigger brakes though!!

 

[thecremeegg]

nice work

 

[Pep]

its gas flowed by GDI aswell so must be about 176bhp, torque in 5th is good too!

 

[medici999]

how much did this cost mate?
how much would you charge to do it to someone elses?
cheers

 

[Pep]

well it cost me about £650 for the engine and loom, but its a low miler, if you source your own engine then i'd charge you just for the labour to fit it.

took me about 2.5 hours start to finish so call it £50 fitted, that ok?

 

[medici999]

yeah quality, but im only 17!! ha, thats cheap for the engine! do you not need to change other bits on it too?
cheers

 

[Pep]

lol i'm only 18!

was surprised that it just 'dropped' in

 

[medici999]

how much has your insurance changed and do you have any points or anything?
you not changed the brakes or anything else?
bet its soo much quicker!
cheers

good job pepsi...if only i had the money (and balls) to try something like that !

 

[Bluebeard]

fifty pounds, for an engine swap, this is surely some sort of wind up!!

What about gearbox, clutch, driveshafts etc?
