Engine swap BG5 GT

[Paradox]

Hey everyone, just a quick question. I have a 95 bg5 gt wagon. I managed to get a mint hgt-b motor, and a full manual conversion for cheap. Was wondering what would need to be done to get the bh motor running in my bg? Does it require an engine loom change? Or can I get around it by only using the block, heads and turbos, and running everything off my old engine? Can anybody do this conversion for me for a reasonable price? Im in Chch. Cheers in advance for any questions answered

mate i have everything you need to make yours a single turbo..

i even have a manual BG leggy already wired up for a single T, in Timaru

heres most the listings (but not everything) http://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/Sell/Current.aspx

I have a full V3/4 manifold

ECU - matching boost noid, MAP and APS on the bracket, all vac lines

intercooler with brackets

3" down pipe

the single turbo heater pipes from the water pump

single turno exaust manifold with Up pipe

all youd need is a turbo

FAG08 " you did read the part where he wants to use a BH in his BG aye :{)

doable but has a few differences

Thanks, but if was after a single turbo conversion I would have gone after one of them engines. Happened across a mint low kms bh motor and my engine has done a few kms so figured id use the mint block. What differences are there? How would I go about this? Suggestions, if any, would be helpful

BH engine wrong compression ratio for anything bar the stock BH ECU of which the ECU plug configuration is completely differant to BG or V3/4.. or cud use after market ECU.

summary = ahole of a job

So best bet would be find bh gt-b look and ecu, then swap it all over? Hmmm might just sell it and put the new turbos on current engine lol

no best thing to do is fine an new BG long block and or turbos etc and put that in... putting any motor stuff from a BH back into a BG as FAG08 said is a total AHOLE of a job.
