busted my ass finally got myself ready to buy a gti. so a friend of mines buyin my car an available engine is a 2.0 out of a 97 jetta thats goin into a 91 jetta. i dont have the time anymore with the new job to even start the project. i figured id ask around to see if anyone has a shop theyd do the work for him. and what they’d charge. anyone interested lemme know… thanks.
edit…
i had a price laid out, but that was absurd on my part b/c i dont know exactly what u are trying to do.
what engine management will you be using? are you just using the 2.0 bottom end, or whole motor?

he wants the whole motor swapped. i havnt looked into the changes in fuel delivery. wats the options and what is required. hopefully have a better idea soon im workin overtime this weekend so might not be till the begining of the week till i have any better idea
what was in the 91 jetta to begin w/? 16v or 8v. if 8v, will be digifant, which is not to bad. would you keep the digifant injection, or do you have the entire wiring for the later motronic that is on a3’s.
in the end, bolting the motor in is no big deal. it is fucking w/ the wiring that is a pita. older vw’s suck for wiring-- hence why i totally rewired my car.
