i think its a great idea. some thing ill be doing shortly... only thing you need to remember is getting it engineered will be the hardest task and insurance will be a b*tch

fudge em ill find away around it.. i was looking for a engine with no gear box turbo or ecu there was that one on ebay you were checking out but if its lockd or something then 1500 is a rip off i needa find one like that though : /

there is one going for 2499 on ebay and is supplied with turbo, loom, ecu, injectors, starter, and every thing you will need.

you wont need to use the flywheel or gearbox as the cordia ones will bolt straight up...

you will also need to modify the engine mount next to the timing cover.

fair enough mate. you could always build the engine up as per your first post providing your not in a hurry. that way you can ensure that every thing has been done properly in terms of correct pistons, gaskets and every thing being torqued to the correct specifications.

This is not really a big thing; why can't you make that decision on your own? Do you think it was necessary to start a thead? What is it with kids these days...should I do this, should I sell that...FFS!! If you can't make the simple decisions in life, how the hell are you going to cope the more challenging ones?

oi cnt it costs like fu!kn $10000 seems like a pretty big fu!kn decision, its not like its guna prevent other people from making other threads if u dont hav anything decent to say then dont fu!kn say nothing, fu!k u

Don't speak to me in that manner or i'll have to wash your mouth out with hot English mustard! You're an apprentice mechanic, it should cost you nowhere near $10,000 unless you're paying yourself $500 an hour! It even stipulates in your signature 'Not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars'...looks like you have already answered your own question!? There is a world of knowledge on this website for you to come to your own conclusion. Show some initiative...I promise that a little bit of thinking will not give you a headache...

That really should have been a personal decision and there are so so so many past threads that would have persuaded you to do so..
But yes it shouldn't really cost you that much.. not even half of that..
my friend did a similar conversion but took him 4 days..

PS: Lol @ spell check, it doesn't even know what a "Cordia" is.

settle down ladies

but evo 85 is right you have to decide yourself and how far you want to go with build in terms of power

and cost so decide what your goal is and over the 4 years work and save to it

good luck!
