These are the progress pictures of a 1.8T VAG engine transplant in to a customers V6 MG ZS180 by Reyland Motorsport.
Dave’s been badgering me to update the tread but I have been too busy, so while I’m updating this
Dave I’m not working on your car.. See what I mean?
Anyhow as you all know the V6 is long gone,
Trial installation of engine/box:
The original engine mounting brackets couldn’t be used:
New engine mounting being fitted (will look factory when sealed and painted)
Engine mounting bracket pre powder coating:
The lower steady bracket was on the wrong side so a new one was made:
Intercooler in place: (using original V6 rad with a fan on the inside)
Engine is in bits at the moment having internals sorted, gearbox is apart too. Engine bay gets painted on Monday and once the engine and box are back together they will be fitted for the last time.
Will try and keep this updated through the week.
