Is it possible
I fancy doing sumthing daft. Is it possible to put a t5 motor in a 360. I'm not going to put it in my rally car I was thinking about buying another and sticking a different engine in it
Cheers
Liam.

There's at least 2 people on here in the process of doing so! Neither are close to completion though AFAIK

2.3 turbo, with a bigger snail would be easier, and cheaper.
Dunno about power comparisons though.

^ Run a stock B230FK/T at higher boost and you will be nudging 200 BHP. Won't be a million miles away from a stock T5. Although you will never rival the 16v for that 5 banger sound!

^ I thought that was just a fancy name.
He mentions it would be for another car though.

Or even a 400 series TD in a 340?
Re: Is it possible
If I had the money id be really interested in doing it! would a 400 td be easier? given the renault engine thing...

Re: Is it possible
the 440/460 uses a 1.9 diesel Renault engine doesn't it? So in theory yes.Evoman wrote:If I had the money id be really interested in doing it! would a 400 td be easier? given the renault engine thing...
Re: Is it possible
The block looks like it fits, it seems to have tapped bosses in all the right places for engine mounts to make it a bolt in but I've not actually measured anything.

Re: Is it possible
would it be good transplant? power (ish) ecos? but what about the insurance? I looked at getting a 440 td but it was £400 more to insure. Could pick up an engine cheap. Half d5s seem to about £250
I ask about insurance becuase its only a mod you would do to save money, yet keep some power. Anyone know the power?

Re: Is it possible
Better off with the F9Q than the 440 diesel. More mpgs and moar powarz! Same block
edit:
Looking here, I think they are the same engine as the 440. Think that the s40 engine deffinatly gets more power though?

Re: Is it possible
Direct vs indirect injection makes it a no brainer... if the F9Q fits, and doesn't have something like the chain driven oil pump of the F4R and late F7R that is...
