Hi all,
This is just to canvas opinion and find out what my options are.
My engine is currently knackered and, although my Turbos are strong. I will be on a very tight budget for a replacement engine when the time comes.
The easy option is to swap a standard J-Spec engine in there, which is nice and simple, but to widen my options I am looking at the possibilities of the following if I find the right engine:
1. VVTi conversion. How much extra work and parts will be needed?
2. UK engine with my J-Spec Turbos on it. Will they fit? Will the engine work with a J-Spec ECU. What else could trip things up?
The only reason I say UK with J-Spec Turbos is that I like my J-Specs and also have a feeling that UK tubbies would cause more complications when plumbing the engine in. If it's simple then I might be persuaded.
Any thoughts from the more technical than me guys, especially with regards to cost? this will not be done on the cheap, but I don't have too much room for maneouvre. Thanks.
