R32 non turbo insurance???

I was, however I like to balance out the cuntish remarks with some constructive advice though

Basically yes. Mind you I am currently doing an auto>manual conversion on my FCTII (in between moments) and that is an utter cunt job too, wish I never bothered. I guess if you have space/time/money to carry out these conversions +have every part you can never anticipate needing at hand then go for it. But really, consider buying a cheap turbo R33 complete car. RB25DET is a real nice motor + you get all the running gear, stronger gearbox, brakes, loom, ecu etc

 

that's the trouble isn't it? people will say things like 'it's a straight swap' or 'simple conversion', but don't account for everything, I agree a donor car is always the way to go having done a few cars in the past like that... but you need somewhere out of the fricking rain to do it

The RB20 is defo lacking power but on the plus side it's pretty understressed and likes a real kicking
If it ever lets go I have my eye on the RB25NEO as an upgrade as I wanna stay with NA (3 years and not a single failed turbo or boost leak )

I had a fair few parts when I bought my car to do DE+T conversion but really couldn't be assed tbh as I just wanted to drive the thing.... frankly the one 'conversion' I think would make a difference would be a 'simple' brake upgrade to say S14a specs or similar as the standard S13 gear is a bit lacking.

Porsche engine, fits right into a beetle mate. No modifications, in and out in 5 minutes, my mate dave round the pub did them non stop everyday with his eyes closed.

...And that is why you see soo many of them, because everyones done it. NOT
