...my engine on my 2.0 8v bora is nackered, beyond repair, and i need to put a new one as soon as possible for as cheap as posible, anyone know what i will need, and how hard it will be (if done by a mechanic, not me) to drop a 20V 1.8 turbo in?

Thanks guys!!!

quite a lot of work to put the 20v in mate, would mean buying a donor car really. Just stick a replacement engine in its only a days work then really.

if i can get the whole lot (loom, ecu, gearbox, engine, turbo etc...) is it worth it, or will it still be a headache? cheers

keys, clocks, fuel pump i presume. It would be a massive headache..... and what do they always say? Dont build something you can buy geek

plus how much is all that 20vt stuff gonna cost? + the cost of having it fitted

vs

getting a replacement engine and a day fitting it?
