Engine swap bits and tips

April 23, 200917 yr

I have an NA manual. Hoping to pick up a TT auto. Going to clean up the TT engine and pop it in the NA.

Other than the engine and ECU, what parts will i need?

(i already have/getting upgraded intercoolers, radiator and fan, TT clutch and fly, intake pipes, BOVs, downpipes and Greddy EBC)

Also, any recommendation for what work i should carry out on the engine before i drop it in?

And, any tips for removing, fitting the engine will be lovely. :cool:

Cheers

Scott

wired up most of the engine harness to keep things tidy but before the front pipes and
radiator is fitted i need to put the whole car on axle stands ready to fit the gearbox.
That will push the engine forward a bit ready for all the front end jobs.

And it's in.

New crane adaptor to lift the engine is mush better than using straps.
However ever so slightly tricky to get hooked up simply because of the wide engine stand i'm using.

Up and away, tempted to put her in now.

Then a few cuts of the silcon pipes to get them down to size.

So i've had to improvise and cut doen the oem pipes then wire brush the ends to make them smooth.
