Looking to do a v5 transplant... Will anyone know the modifications I will need to do etc

Is there a particular reason you want to put in a V5 engine? Seems like a lot of work for less power.

Can't find a single reason why you would want to....Comment

It could be the twin turbo v5 out of the TTRS that he wants to put in? That'd be cool... But I doubt that's the one.Originally posted by Dubba View Post

Seen more problems with my vr6 than my mates v5 boraComment

The v5 is the same as the vr6 only missing a cylinder.Originally posted by MisterMk3nasra View Post
It would come down to how the two cars were maintained and it's a mk3 vr6 they're a fair bit older than the mk4 v5s...
Instead of spending the money and effort into a v5 swap why not just fix up the vr6?Comment

physically, yea, electronically, well, that wont be fun.Comment

You obviously bought a poorly maintained car! Never had a problem with my engine, just the gearboxOriginally posted by MisterMk3nasra View Post

So much negativity let the man do what he wants.Comment

Not to be negative but I very highly doubt it'll happen. When people are this uninformed on what's involved they usually won't go through with it.Originally posted by Stanton View Post
OP if you did decide to go through with it the basics you'd need:
Donor motor (should be able to use your gearbox)
All wiring looms
Cluster
ECU
+ modifying and adapting bits and pieces to make it all work (making exhaust downpipe etc)
By the time all those parts are acquired unless ALL work is carried out by the OP he'll be up for some labour costs too and then the car will have to be engineered due to the engine swap = more $
Might as well sell the vr6 and buy a bora v5...Comment
