Full Engine and Transmission Swap

james.today said:

What engine are you swapping in?

And you’re getting rid of engine (long block with all accessories like turbo, intake and exhaust manifold, AC, alternator), transmission, ecu... Does this include the Eurocompulsion Intercooler Too?

So theoretically, the buyer should just be able to drop the engine and transmission in and be Eurocompulsion stage 3?

You would be quite correct! If you were to drop the whole thing in you would be Stage 3. It comes with with the intercooler, piping, catch can, turbo blanket, tuner, stage 3 tune, upgraded plugs, coil packs, Forge BOV, and I think that might be it but I would have to check. The car has been sitting around in the garage for quite some time not being driven while I collect parts for the swap. I was considering keeping the drivetrain around to use for a buggy build but it's too modern and would only be headache.

AND.....What pray are you going to put in it's place ? as it would be interesting to know what total transmission slots in, or.....Are we talking "write Off", "Totalled", 124 Spider ? just so that any folk interested can ask about / see accident reports, damage / shock sustained .........Cheers

I'm the original owner and it was supposed to be just for the track but I'm needing more speed. Car has been sitting in the garage for the last year basically. Since I have an engine sitting around that I built a couple of years back to handle 1,000hp I figured what the heck, it's the same size, time to make a move. I won't be revealing what i'll be dropping in just yet but it's unconventional for the platform. For the transmission though i'll be cramming in a T56 Magnum. We can thank Flyin Miata for doing the legwork on that end with their v8 conversions. But v8s aren't my deal so I won't be going that route.
