will a 2.5NA diesel engine go into my s3?

<< < (2/3) > >>

scotana:
i used a sherpa engine(virtualy the same)
but the 90 engine will bolt on the the gearbox with no problem,
may have to swop the clutch plates
although you will have to move the drivers side engine mount to allow for the fuel pump

you will also have to chop or relocathe the battery tray and battery
(i moved mine to under the passenger seat)but in front of the front grille is a good place in a battery box
if your replacing a petrol engine you can use the 12v feed from the coil to power the pump solonoid
and you will have to make up a timed relay for the glow plugs (easy i used one out of a deisel escort)an dyou will have to use a deisel downpipe too
but if your replacing a deisel engine that should be easier still
but other than that its a piece of cake

it took me 2 full days to do mine with a little help from my mate

trustyrusty:
the battey tray can stay were it is all you have to do cut one leg off ( inner most ). gear box bolts straight up just use series 3 clutch plate, and the only other thing is unbolt the off side engine bracket of the engine cut the engine mount from the chassis weld the original engine bracket unside down to the chassis and thats it ,it took me  one day by myself to fit the engine so it easy :D  ps you need to wire up the fuel cut off from ignition side. cheers eddie. if stuck just pm me .

ross501:
done the conversion today all i had to do was use the series clutch and the mounting brackets from the series 3 and take the battery tray out did not need any welding

Leslie Henson:
is the front cover of you engine a flat steel plate or a cast alloy cover?
