mechsmurf 0 Posted May 15, 2008 found a post explaining about bottom mount bracket has to be welded and about hubs and shafts but cannot find anything about top mounts or wiring only reason im changing the engine is because head bolts have snapped and want something different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted May 15, 2008 Engine mounts all fit, wiring = loads of hassle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,622 Posted May 15, 2008 dont bother with the TU, fit an Mi16 or a gti6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechsmurf 0 Posted May 15, 2008 already got this engine ready to go in though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted May 15, 2008 Sell it or forever be replacing gearboxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechsmurf 0 Posted May 15, 2008 can you not use the gti box or the original vts box or would i have to use a xs box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted May 15, 2008 they're all crap! go for an XU engine so you can use a stronger BE gearbox, or spend loads on a BE4 conversion. you'll spend loads on the TU engine just to get it to the same power level as a standard Mi16, and youll be far short of the torque that a healthy gti6 will push out.

drmo 5 Posted May 25, 2008 Hi I do not want to open a new topic so i will just ask here, I am wondering if i can fit a TU engine in to a GTI, i want to know if it will fit? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casanova 0 Posted May 27, 2008 As above, yes it will fit (with a lot of work) - but no its not worth doing. § Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
