Hey All Just Wondering What You Guys Would Think About Getting A AU Engine Or A BA In Your Ride,
I Found A Nice AU Engine For 1400 I'm Thinking Of Getting It And Putting It In My EB The Guy Said He Would Fit It All For 1600 Plus 550 Bucks For A LSD OFF A XR6,
I Wanted To Put A BA Engine In There But It Would Cost More And They Would Have To Move Stuff Round More He Said Fit And The Cost Of The BA Engine Would Be 2200 What Do You Guys Think?

You can get AU engines for around $500. $1400 is way too much. The AU engine is the safer option though. Basically you'll have to grind the ribs off the front of the sump, and also get EF/EL/AU accessories and it goes in pretty easily. The BA is a much harder job as you also have to get around bonnet clearance issues, ECU differences, and more.

fair enough the computer off the au should go in mine with no probs, hmm still thinking about spending a lil more cash to get the ba in there people wont belive me that i would have one in there

a guy on here is in the process of doing it into his EB, but it has taken him a while, for simplicity i would go for the AU engine, less stress to install, and are still an excellent engine.

I was in the same situation about 1 month ago. BA or AU engine in my EF. I went with the AU2 XR6 HP motor.
Well worth it, very little hastle to install and major differene to how it drives. Go with the AU motor.
BA is a fair headache to convert!!!

is there much of a difference between a EB and ED

cause this sounds like a very nice and wicked thing to do.

No, they're pretty much the same. But personally if your engine runs fine, there is no point in doing an engine swap. I've considered doing an engine swap for mine, mainly due to the fact it has a lot of timing chain rattle, and timing case / crank seal leaks but decided it'd make more sense to just run the engine into the ground before swapping it over.

this is a ace thread much.

thank you!

No, thank you! For digging up a gay 3 year old thread

lol now this thread will drag on and on

Im guessing someone just searched for 'dynowog' and 'xtc' and is now posting shit everywhere.

If its a massively old thread and you have no interest in it, dont post!

Consider this a warning phase autos.
