Gazbarber1982 3 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi all. A couple of days ago my car just stopped running when thrashing it a bit. After removing the rocker cover and trying to start it the cams aren't turning but the top chains are still intact. Anyway, I've bought a bare OBD2 engine and i'm just wondering will it be OK to just take my engine out and bolt on any bit's off my old engine that I need or will I need any other bit's off an OBD2? The bloke I bought it off seems to know what he's doing, he's dropped an R32 engine in his 1990 Corrado but I can't help thinking he might of said it will be fine just so he makes a few quid selling me the engine! Any help would be much appeciated!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Gazbarber1982 3 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I knew somone else would be sad enough to be sat at the computer at this time of night on a saturday and thanks!!! Me and a mate (j933 vrd) have stripped most of the bits off mine like the t/b, inlet mani, alt, etc. So you reakon I won't need anythin else off an OBD2? I was trying to keep the work to a minimum hence bolting all my OBD1 stuff to the OBD2. Also, how hard is it to do the engine swap and will I need any 'specialist' tools? I did have a mechanic that knows VR's lined up to do the work Sunday morning but he's gone camping so now it looks like me n friends are gonna try to butcher the job and when I say butcher I really mean it! We don't have an engine hoist but we do have a choice of mini diggers n grab wagons lol! Thanks!! Link to post Share on other sites
