Has anyone transplanted GTX/GTR engine into BA V6 before ? Will it be more troublesome than 1.5/1.8 ? Thanks

the GTX(BPT)/GTR(BPD) share the same engine mounts and gearbox mounting points as the 1.8 BP engine

pretty sure that you'd have to source Driveshafts, a 1.8 gearbox and the engine for the conversion.......

then you'd have the issues of the 4 stud on the front 5 stud on the rear......

Aren't the engine mounts different as well?

im sure it would be easy as
getting the GTR/X motor and then finding the rest of the parts from a BA 4cly, mounts from it, gearbox,axles,shift linkages,

could be swapped out with in a day i reckon :P

be worth getting a KL V6 instead in my opinion, power from 1000rpm to 7000rpm vs 3500rpm to 6500rpm

You mean a KL[b][u]ZE[/u][/b] There's a KLDE that's only about 170bhp, the KLZE is 200bhp.

There's another option. The UK KFDE (2L V6) has a low compression ratio that's good for turbo'ing The KLDE also has low compression ratio but obviously you need to do the engine swap as well.

Now you talking. I have been looking into this a bot over the last week.

Doesnt look like to bigger job. Turbo, manifold, ECU (standalone) and an I.C.. Possibly some bigger injectors or 7th injector aswell.

255l/h fuel pump may be a good idea too, especially with bigger injectors?
