| Swapping Car Engine : Professionals Please Help! by mikotek(op): 3:00pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
I'm considering buying a car with a swapped engine, so I'm seeking advice from professionals here in NL. For example, I've seen a Volkswagen passat (2.5L, V6) being swapped with a Volkswagen golf 3 (1.6L). What are the advantages and disadvantages? To me I think the weight of the Passat would drag the small golf 3 engine, making it to work harder, thereby making it to consume more fuel than normal. Please I would really appreciate professional advice and experiences.

mikotek:Don't it try it unless you want to make mechanic workshop your second home. Every engine is tailored designed with precision for that particular car model it is intended with a lot of engineering parameters in consideration. A car swapped with another engine will never run well |

Meaning you know the right thing to do. You don't need any professional to give you advice. Make a wise decision |
