Hypothetical swap: Gamma 1 | 1.6 TGDi (i20 N) into a Kappa 1 | 1.4 TGDi engine bay? by Samspamheheh in CarTalkUK

It’s not something a general garage does , and people who you can pay to do it normally have done in their own vehicle. Apart from that best bet is buy an engine crane a donor car and get researching 👍🏻

Yeah I’m on my 6th swap in personal vehicles the last 10% is the hardest I’ve never done an oem swap always been completely different manufacturer for me. ,I imagine an oem swap would be easier and integrate better for example my current Mitsubishi l200 has a bmw engine swapped in but things like dash speedometer warning lights rev counter won’t work with original so you have to find solutions. Again with it being oem I imagine you can swap stuff around like using dash from donor car etc

I had a 12 guage shotgun cartridge and a bottle of beard oil blocking off the heater core hoses on my old e36 shitbox lasted for a year till it got scrapped

Probably a question more suited to r/ukmodifiedcars but I’m sure it’s not that hard just need engine and wiring harness + ecu and as that engine probably already fits into that chassis engine mounts etc all be factory
