>fergo308.. I don't mean to disagree with you again.. but.. doesn't matter,discussion is a good thing. >A workshop should only charge about $1000 labor for the >conversion, that's converting a 4ac sprinter to a 4age sprinter. wow,I'd like to know who you've been using to get that kind of drive-in,drive-out swap cost. that includes everything needed,supplied and fitted? fuel system,loom mods,the lot? >Using the map sensored 128hp rwd 4AGE.. (the tvis one! with the >big ports! and the 9.4:1 CR as opposed to the smallport which >has a 10.4:1 CR and only 8 hp more). sure,the 88kw engine is much easier to do the swap,as they were originally rear wheel drive. however,this post was discussing fitting a 100kw engine to a sprinter,so I borke down what's required and the associated costs as I understand them. if you can find an FR 4AGE,it's worth buying over a 100kw,as the amount of hassle saved,is well worth the difference in the power curve IMHO. once the engine is in,you can always look at using a 100kw bottom end and dropping the 88kw head and manifolding onto it later,to get the benefits of both types. >As I said previously, it cost me $3,300 to get a 4age installed >into my sprinter. yeah,a RWD 4AGE,as stated. not a FF-converted 100kw 4AGE. >if you got your own engine, the 100kw one or so, and did lots >of the work yourself (i.e. taking out old motor, putting in the >new fuel system, bolting in the new engine and mating it to the >gearbox) then I can't imagine the conversion costing much at >all. as was also stated in the thread previously,the person asking about doing the swap can't do the work himself. he doesn't have the tools,nor a place to do the job. >anyway, getting it totally done in a workshop should set you >back no more than $3000 ($3300 including GST). and if you can find a shop which can supply the engine,and fit everything that's required for that money,keep going there,as they will be the only one in the world who can,and stay in business. $3k would be doing the job almost for free. the parts needed alone will cost more than half that. go back and re-read my post,do the math,and you'll see that I'm closer to the mark than you think.
