Would it be feasable if not a tad expensive to have a TDCi lump dropped in my TD?

Im guessing i would need the ECU, Engine Looms Only, and obviously the engine and box with half shafts.

Im thinking about looking into this for a few years and to start saving now like.

Also what would probaly be the best place to ask.

Wouldnt even bother - would be a massive job, a massive ballache to do and would be probably cheaper to just go out and buy a TDCi.

well i was thinking in a few years time like once my Td lump has had its day.

It probaly could be done right just at great expense i would imagine.

I just love the mk2 shape to much to want to upgrade to a mk3 or 4 for that matter.

the main problem is the electrics not the engine itself.

yea thats why i was thinking ECU and looms would need to be put in. Only difficulty i could see in my narrowminded non experienced view would be the diagnotics port not hooking up with the ecu properly.

It'd definatly be very cool and a one off, if not a little expensive! Although where would the fun and originality be in just upgrading to a MK3? I say get it done and post us loads of pics :L

im thinking 4/5 years yet if my mk2 still has life (and some unrusted metal) in it

even if you transfered al lthe looms you would still need to wire them up to exisitng wiring iwould leave it to a pro as far as wiring goes it will be a lot of work!!

surely some place like autocraft could do it a doddle.

If they aquire all the neccesary info (which i assume they would) then it should just happen right.

anything can be done if you have enough money and time , personally i wouldnt go there on this one as it would cost mucha money with new engine mounts , suspension mounts , electrics , plumbing and god knows what else , in my opinion it is a non starter , having said that , in 5 years time if you prove me wrong then i will be well impressed

Like you said anything can be done. Will have to wait and see.
