What engine would be good to swap in a 2006 Scion tC?
Just wondering what engine would be the easiest to swap in the 2006 Scion tC. Looking to get a lot more power, and yes I know about the Turbo kit and the supercharger that you can add to the tC, I just want to know what engine would be good to swap it with.
300zx engine swap cost?
Depends of what model you want. You have two options: Twin Turbo and NA. Both the long and the short blocks cost about the same. If you need to know, the long block is the entire engine, the short is just the “block” without the heads and all the other top parts. To make it easy, I would suggest some things: -Decide what model you want (and can afford). -Buy that model -Buy a long block. -Have a good mechanics that knows about the Z do the engine swap. If you want a Twin Turbo, you can buy the long block, or buy the fully armed engine with turbos and everything. Keep in mind the stock VG30DETT engine can withstand up to about 500-600 HP without changing any internals, so you can consider to upgrade the turbos instead of using the stock ones (they give 300 HP stock, and not more than 400 to 450 HP with boost controller and other extras). Price for a stock swap should be from $2K to over $4K depending on parts and labor. Finally, do not try to do a conversion. Many people (including myself) have done a twin Turbo conversion. This is only advisable if you know about your Z, if you have lots of money, and if you have patience as well. A straight conversion can cost you over $10K, while a good one for high performance can go over $20K. And I recommend you to swap also the transmission if it is an automatic, and at least the clutch if is a manual. Good luck.
Engine swap on a 1983 Camaro?
I have a 1983, 305 5.0L CFI Camaro Z28. I'm looking to either rebuild the engine, or put an entirely new engine in it, but being someone who has never done an engine job, i'm at a loss for what is the best path to take. I would like to put in a 350 or 383 atleast, but am not sure how big i can go without making cuts. I would like to get as much horsepower as possible, while maintaining a cheap cost, money is definitely an issue. Should i buy a new engine? If so what type might be best for daily driving, but also high performance. Or should i attempt to build it myself? If so what type of engine would be best to balance low cost, low experience, and high performance increase, and will a 305 block work for building a 350? Any estimations on costs would be great as well. I would like to keep the cost under $2000, amount of work is not an issue.
What is a good engine swap for a 1962 GMC?
Why not be really different and maybe make less work for yourself at the same time? Try a GMC 305 V-6. Yes, it really is a V-6 and there's a good possibility that it's what was originally in your truck. The Cummins swap has been done more than once and it's not too big-if you mean as in the dimensions of the engine, but it is a lot of fabrication and labor. The GMC V-6 can be done with all stock parts.
What do you need to perform an engine swap?
What engine into what car? Some swaps are direct bolt ins, some swaps require extensive chassis modifications.One does not simply walk into the garage and engine swap!I am currently swapping an LS1 into a tube frame chassis (the Exomotive Exocet specifically) utilizing all the parts from my Miata and a Camaro.You start with your engine and work your way out from there:Will it bolt onto your transmission? Can you make an adapter? no? Ok next part. Can you use the driveshaft or axles and halfshafts? Do you need to have custom ones made to plug into your application? And so on, all the way out to the wheels.Engine mounts. How are you going to connect the new engine to the chassis?All the mechanical bits: clutch, throttle, fuel lines, fuel pumps, shift linkage, etc.Electrical bits: ECU, wiring, re-wiring it to work with your dash or custom gauge set.Example: to swap a Miata up from the 1.6L engine to the newer 1.8l engine all you have to get is a throttle adapter plate and a few othe miscalanious parts.To swap a Miata to an LSx or 5.0 engine you need a whole kit including: new exhaust, new radiator, new drive shaft, new differential and axles, new trans, new engine mounts, new differential mounts new clutch and fuel lines, new throttle, etc…. it's a big difference.
What is the best engine swap for a 98 civic dx?
I think the B16A2 would be the best. http://got-jdm.com is a good site to check. http://passwordjdm.com is another.
What are some good engines to swap into a 1990 Jeep Wrangler, and what’s the best way to get the said engines?
The stock 4.0L straight 6 and 2.5L inline 4 are excellent engines in terms of mechanical reliability. However, if you are looking to swap with something equally practical, most carbureted or fuel injected Chevy V8s do the trick. They are simple, torquey, and have massive aftermarket support. Another interesting swap I have seen is the R2.8 Cummins Repower kit. It’s pricey but you get an electronic Diesel engine with a full wire harness, and it doesn’t weigh as much as a Cummins 4BT swap. I have also seen OM617 and VW TDi Diesel swaps to great effect.
If you swap an engine, do you have to swap the transmission?
If you swap an engine, do you have to swap the transmission?I don't know if this has been addressed yet or not but I'll give a point form answer:when swapping an engine to a different engine, space is a concern. From behind the cooling system to the firewall. Between the wheel wells and underneath the hood. Those dimensions MUST BE taken into account first. If it's a 4 cyl to a 4 cyl or V8 to V8, those concerns are usually minimal.Motor mounts MUST be properly placed so that the engine being swapped in sits in the correct place (height, forward/back, etc)When it comes to the transmission, if swapping in a trans that is meant for the particular engine, no worries. If different, an adaptor and proper bell housing will be required. A weak trans behind a powerful engine will be a disaster waiting to happen, so gearing, input and output shafts must be taken into account. Wiring is an issue too since most new transmissions are electronically controlled. If using a newer engine and older one wire trans, wiring harness conversion kits must be used. Transmission mounts must be changed for a swap too.Transmission tunnel space must be accounted for if swapping to a larger transmission that is different than the stock transmission.Length must be accounted for as larger transmissions will be longer and require variations to the driveshft length.This is the tip of the iceberg. Yes, engine swaps can be done but there are MANY different calculations and measurements to take before the work begins. To put it simply, most any passenger vehicle engine and transmission can be swapped in, but the amount of work to do so will vary depending on the size differences (as an example: I run a 4bt diesel in my Wranglers which originally came with a straight 6 in-line 4.0L and I run a TH400 trans in place of the stock NV3550 5-spd). It's LOTS of work but it is possible.
