Liam_D Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi guys, got a quick question for anyone who has done the 4EFTE Swap into an N/a, Just wondering how much did it roughly set you back? Not after like full details just rough estimates. Maybe tempted into doing the FTE swap on mine, as im at a standstill with this Idle problem and i cant keep throwing money away trying to fix something that is a mystery . Its either sell up or do a conversion, thats what is running through my head at the minute. Not saying im 100% doing it just weighing up my options!! Thanks gents.Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Cheers guys, the replies are much appriciated. Im really fussy when it comes to buying parts so i would probably end up spending like £3000 doing a conversion. Think im going to have to leave this idea now, looks like it isnt going to happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Think I remember working out around £1000 for a cheapo unfussy base conversion and circa £1500 for something done half properly. Completely depends on the car in question but you could spend twice that (and upwards) making something special. The trick is tailoring the conversion to suit your own needs. Not everyone can afford/use/appreciate a 300bhp monster EP so plan carefully. I have a scrap of paper somewhere with everything needed for a conversion on it. Will let you know if I can find it mate.Jayany luck on the scrap of paper dude? im going forged conversion, and wanted a checklist to tick off a few items a month and should have it ready by next year any help jay would be awesome ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
