fitting ko3 or ko3s to standard 1.8 agu engine

[joe1992]

hi i have had my 1.8 sport a3 for a while now however its too slow lol
im seriously considering putting a ko3 or ko3s on and getting the car remapped.

i was just wondering what else i would need to do to the car in order for it to cope with it
also how difficult and expensive would it be to do this

many thanks guys

hang on - is it a naturally aspirated engine ? (no turbo at the moment)

 

[joe1992]

yeah, for give me if it was a stupid question lol

Maybe better off selling the car mate and buying a turbo one or just buying a full engine and getting it fitted

 

[joe1992]

ahhh out of the question then lol, well il have to save up and get my hands on one
thanks for the advice mate

 

[colicabcadam]

as he said, would be a waste of money converting a NA car to a turbo lol

 

[Prawn]

too much to change over sadly mate, the entire engine loom and all sorts would need replacing

 

[colicabcadam]

prawn would do it for you though

 

[aragorn]

engine internals are differnet too, you'd really need 1.8T pistons.

Do I have to make another conversion thread then?

Buy a 1.8T and pay the insurance ***
