Jakeo Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi guys quite new here, seen a car close to me fairly cheap but it's an na auto, does anyone have a rough cost of what it would take to transplant a tt engine into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Engine, couple of grand. Chosen gearbox, a grand to three and a half grand, plus conversion parts. Plus labour. Basically just buy one thats already been converted/is a TT manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeo Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ok mate thanks for reply and advice, will go down that route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Its 4k £ for a v160 of keron amd 2700£ for an gte engine. Those are complete kits including all u need to do the conversion, for 700£ he places the engine for u, dunno how much to place gearbox but i reckon summin similar. Its 2000£ for an r154 gearbox kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeo Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah probably easier an better to buy tt off the bat then. Just out interest, the r154, is a 5 speed right? After what power will that box need internal work and how well does is go with the tt engine in regards to driveability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 154s are indeed 5 speed, and its not power but torque that kills boxes. One mans driving style will vary from another but, no clutch kicking or drag launches and they have been known to handle 6-700hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) You can use a bmw 6speed from a diesel sorry cant remeber the part code but would need adapting plate. Found a link to a bmw 6speed http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?320964-Manual-conversion-parts-are-almost-ready THis box can run high power. Another member has done this conversion before dont know the cost yet Edited April 11, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeo Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks for the info guys but I think I'm going to stick with the original plan and save to buy a tt, my little civic will have to do me for now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
