Hu guys, been thinking about an engine transplant into my stanndard 6. Getting hold of the 3.0 v6 from the 406 and all the bits isnt going to be an issue, was wondering wat you guys would expect to pay to have someone take my lump out and put this one in? Already started gathering some quotes but they seem steep to me! Also would the 220bhp engine fit becuase i no theres ment to be a specific engine to go for?

Thanks in advance, Tom

What kinda quotes have you been getting? Tbh it's the kind of job that if you can't do it yourself, buy a car with one already fitted. Jobs like that always go on forever, and paying £100 an hour indefinitely is just not the way to go.

The D8 engine is the easy one to fit, with the std loom who ever has quoted 4k is in a world of there own,

The only thing you need to watch is the ride height as the engine sits below the level of the subframe, other than that a quite neat job

The one I have in a 309 looks like Factory, well better as it runs a aftermarket ECU inside the car so does away with the ECU under the bonnet.

The wiring is the simple bit after looking over it doing mine, just a pain as you've got to solder so many together. The clutch was the major pain for me.

Its not worth doing for more than 2.5k I think. Yes its quick, yes it transforms the car, yes it does more mpg and yes its sounds farking lush, but really i'd be buying a faster car to start with for that kind of extra money. The two cars i've had since (UK impreza classic PPP and V70) are both quicker point to point and on track with similar suspension. They both cost about 3k to buy and modify too. The V70 doesn't quite have the handling but is a fair amount quicker/faster (no remap yet either). The impreza had better handling and was about as quick.

If you need a new engine then do think about it seriously, but also think about breaking your car and buying something quicker. Or looking out for another, quicker 306 - if you can find a V6 one already then its a lot cheaper as they sell for peanuts. As long as its been done well that is

V6 went perfectly fine, only reason for breaking was adam needed wheels that worked properly at the time and could not afford to get the 306 fixed. It was dyno'd at 200 bhp 200 lbft, would have weighed around 1200 kilos. 163 bhp/ton, 163 lbft/ton.

Adam's T5 weighs 1415 give or take a few, which iirc is 260 bhp, 254 lbft.

183bhp/ton, 179 lbft/ton.

Impreza was a 99 UK turbo 2000 with most of a PPP pack, kerb weight circa 1235, 250 ish bhp/torques.

All 3 had AST's of some sort.

IMHO its not really a fair comparison as all three are completely different cars.

I'd also like to point out that unless they are really well looked after most ME7 volvo T5s won't be running anywhere near their proper power. Everything has to be bang tidy for the ECU to allow proper boost and timing. Its a pain in the arse, but honestly very good for not going bang.
