Oh dear oh dear!

My folks announced on the weekend that they're moving house so all of my crap's gotta go, leaving their house in a rentable condition :(

Realistically, the S50 powered GT6 is a million years from completion which leads me to this question:

How quickly could I drop my S50 engine into the touring (touring has a blown head gasket).

Don't need to worry about wiring as I've got a spare standalone ecu. Can knock up an exhaust manifold and inlet plenum easily enough.

Whadda we reckon? :lol:

Standalone would be more effort than wiring in the S50 with standard management..

You don't need to do anything with the plenum

How long depends on your spare time..

Physically bolting it in takes no time.. It's the details that take time, penton_08 on here did his in about 2 weeks worth of work I believe

If you have things ready it´s a day´s job.
So knowing what´s missing and knowing how long each of those takes you can estimate
With great challenges comes great engineering.
