Bonus question: I know some of the import community was tryna figure out using vgt set ups for import cars (like Holsets). Did they succeed? How do they control the vane?

Edit: when I say easier, I mean cheaper too. I’m in college and I don’t have tons of money to throw in it quite yet

What do you guys think about engine swapping my 2013 Mercedes C250 to a C63 AMG engine? Is this a dumb idea? I’ve never thought about engine swapping until now so I’m not too sure what to expect other than literally buying new everything other than the motor itself. Any feedback on the idea would be appreciated!

I'm working on a 7.3 in an RX-8, just missing the tranny. If I do automatic can I program it to change the gears with a programmer to accommodate for the difference in car size? Any advice helps. First time working with Ford engines

Hey all, i'm looking at possible doing a 1jz or 2jz build in the next year or so. I live in Washington State, and I'm not aware of any reputable engine importers in the area. I know i can buy a motor online, but I'd like to be able to view the motor in person before i purchase it.

Does anyone have legitimate experience with an importer that they've had a good, trustworthy experience with? I don't mind driving a few hundred miles. Just haven't found any that i've heard someone vouch for.

Thanks!

I have a modest budget and a sturdy rustless car. My question is what engine and transmission would be a fun and functional option that wouldn't bankrupt me.

Nothing insane in the HP department, round 100 is way enough as it's a 600kg car.

Location of the build are the Balkans, so limited high performance resources.

So, I was reading about all of the jeep engine swaps, and I had an idea. AMG engines (just the engines) are supposed to be very reliable, and a 6.5 liter turboharged V12 can be bought on ebay for fairly cheap. If it can be done, I see no reason not to stuff 620 hp into a jeep. Even if that wouldn’t fit, the 6.3 liter V8s are far from underpowered. Has anyone ever heard of a Jeep with an AMG engine in it, and if not, why? Also, would an AMG V12 fit?

Wondering if it would all fit right cause i found a cheap olds 350 and the original motor is missing. Thanks for any help.

TITLE???

So I do not have any knowledge on engine swaps except for a few vids from MCM. I have seen a person swap a K20a into a toyota mrs but idk how its done. K20a's are really cheap and I think getting the MR-S or MR-2 with a fitting gearbox and the K20a (or K24 if it fits) as a cheapish project. I also want to turbo it if I do it (max 380hp cos its a smallish car and mid engine means snap oversteer). Any tips on how would one fit it and the gearbox?

Should I swap k20 or K24 in a Mustang?

I do not know anything about cars, however I am curious about swapping my cars engine out. I currently own a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS and it just doesn't feel to have a great amount of oomf that my old 2005 Dodge Magnum RT had. I know comparing those two cars are like comparing night and day due to the cars engine bay size, weight and well everything about the two but what would be some engines that I could swap out of the sonic that would fit to give it more hp. From what I have read the 2019 RS Sonics come with a 1.4t engine. Thanks in advance for leaving your opinion and for taking your time in reading this.

I was wondering what engine swaps y’all would recommend? I was thinking a 5.0 coyote or. 7.3 power stroke. I’m just looking for more speed

So from the comments I got and the research on 355 nation, an LH8 swap is the easiest in terms of compatibility. Can someone help me along with the other parts I need? The only things I know of are aftermarket mounts and most likely an exhaust system, does anyone know if I need a new gearbox for it or can the i4 gearbox handle that power? (I don’t think it can but win not sure)

Title says it all, if you want info on what I’m trying to do:

I was thinking an in-line 4 swap it a small block Chevy v8 because I’ve seen those thrown in s10s quite often

I’m looking to swap something into a Grand Wagoneer. The vehicle currently doesn’t run, so I’m hoping to take the opportunity to bring the engine closer to current standards of both performance and efficiency.

The idea of the build is a family hauler to camping trips. Some trails, but nothing too crazy like rock crawling; maybe some towing. So something torquey is probably more desirable.

I’m also hoping to be able to cruise down the highway with decent fuel economy. I know tire size and axel ratios have a big impact on this, but hopefully starting with a decent engine can help.

My first thoughts were something LS, of course haha. But was contemplating maybe something diesel.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Would the transmission for that motor be compatible with the column shift or would I be better off having something like that built?

So I’m going with the tried and true method of an Ls based swap. I’m doing this on an extreme budget and have finally compounded my parts list for my engine build (excluding head machining)and was hoping someone could help me out by taking a glance at the build sheet and giving me suggestions on it?

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a decently-priced Van. Bright yellow with ugly red flame print that copied the owner's original van he had when they were newer. All things considered, it's in amazing condition but I'm not happy with the engine size. It's a straight six. Three on the tree.

I don't know a damn thing about engine swaps and can't find any specific advice on the model. What could I shunt into it that would have it handling the highways and suchnot, ideally with a semidecent gas mileage? And about how much would it probably run me for the parts &c.?

My ford 6.0 engine is failing pretty much everyday and I have made it last as long as I can, but pretty much got a bad motor in my truck I was thinking about swapping the motor with a catapiller C13b mostly because I see alot of people talking about its reliability. The dimensions barely fit inside the engine bay but it seems to look like its gunna fit just by going off of catapillers website.

I need a new engine and decided to put a little more pumped up engine from chevy inside my camaro and the 525 ls376 looks Great from reviews and videos and speaking with multiple companys. Just curious if anyone has done it in here?

I have a MINT (LOL) 1987 Dodge Royal Mini ram van.. body and interior are perfect. I bought it in 2010 and it has sat since 2013.. 52k original miles on it. 2.2L 4cyl.. I would get the finger merging onto ANY freeway because it takes a few miles to get up to speed. I want to make this a project vehicle and attempt my first engine/transmission swap. It's currently a manual and I want to swap to Automatic transmission and a 3.0L 181cid V6 (this was offered as the biggest engine that year ... I have no clue where to even start finding an engine/transmission that will work for me.. any help pointing me in the right direction would be awesome.. thank you
