C Class Engine For My VBOOT by optimusprimer(op): 2:26pm On Jan 13, 2015
MY Engine is working fine as the 6 rated Engine. its also a manual transmission gear,
I am thinking of changing my engine to that of a c class since its cheaper and maybe i will also change the gear to an auto transmission.

is this a good idea?
as the c class engine seems to be even cheaper

just sell the one you have and get the one with auto

common sense that chopping the one you have and start having issues after the transplant

Wait until your current engine is having issues before you do the swap.
As for fitting in an automatic transmission, unless you are sure your mechanic is very good at performing such a swap, I advice against.
Moreso, you will obtain better performance and fuel economy with a manual transmission.

its super possible..... if u got the MONEY and u have a great love for the VBOOT body
1. c class auto engine and gear box= 70k approximately
2 c class manual engine and its gearbox= 45k approximately
3. c class brain box= btw the range of 20k to 45 k pending on the engine u purchase
4. electrical works ( parts included)= 20k approximately
5. mechanical works 7k......

by this analysis u would b spending at least 130k for automatic c class conversion and less than a 100k for manual transmission.....
the prices are greatly estimated and i believe you would get a better bargain when u enter the market yourself......

actually i did a conversion like dat some months back..... and its automatic conversion drives as good as follow come...its my most trusted vehicle for my undercover and late night waka ..lol..neva broken me down on d road..... so no fear..
cheers....
