20 valve swap. whats needed?

coggi · 10-12-2009, 03:45 AM

Hi guys, ive just joined this site!

Can i ask a few questions...

What is needed to fit the 20 valve engine in the AW11?

Ive no problem rebuilding and physically fitting the engine, I just want to know what i need to change/reuse/adapt to make the conversion work?

Is the engine using the same bottom end as the 4AGE thats in the car now, but with a different head fitted?

Can you use the 6 speed box? Is it a 6 speed box?!

Im based in the UK, does anyone know who can ship/supply to the UK or has anyone got one in the UK? How much should i be paying for a decent one?

Hope you guys can help.

Cheers matt

I have a writeup under the knowledge base which shows what's involved. The cheapest way to do it is with just the motor and purchasing a few additional items separately. It's an easy swap.

There is one member on here who's located in Cheshire who is running a silvertop. His board name is Honeyborne. I have a few people who have purchased harnesses from me who are in the UK.
