I was at the wreckers today and i saw a 4.8 GU motor lying in the yard wit a tip tronic auto on the back of it. I noe Adam Brid has changed to a 4.8 in his coil cab (turbo too ). I was wandering how hard it would be to change it over. It came with a wiring loom. I thought the GQ transfer case is the same as the GU so it would bolt up to the transfer case, just need custom mounts get the gear box and motor bolted to the chassis. Is there any other things to look out for that is hidden. And would engineering be a pain aswell. There is enough clearence so I think it would be easy. What do you guys reckon.
Cheers
Yer but u cant beat the sound of a turbo 6, unless u have a turbo 8 . I was thinking about turboing and injecting a 4.2 petrol but it is so common. I want something different and rare. I think there are only 3 or 4 cars wit this conversion. i was also thinking about putting a BA falcon 4 litre turbo motor from the XR6 turbo. 240kw in standard tune and wit the turbo tricked up a little, imagine that. Then all i have to do is put maverick and ford badgers on it . I didnt ask the price of the 4.8 as yet, sorry bogger. And i also forgot to add i want a motor under my bonnet with a turbo.
All good ideas guys but it would be enough trouble putting in a BA turbo donk let alone putting in a naturally aspirated one and turboing that. It would not be hard gettting it in there, just bolting it to a transmission.
