Conversion

[Aidsy1]

Does anybody on here know how hard it would be to convert my 1.8 vvt to a 2.2 2AD-FHV Diesel? I would also settle for the 2.0 1AD-FTV, as I believe that was what was in my Auris. Although I like the sound of the petrol, I miss the grunt of a Diesel more. I'd like to do it as a sort of project. I know i would need:

 

Engine,

Exhaust,

ECU,

Intake,

Change Fuel Lines,

Change Fuel Tank,

Maybe different suspension too (might be getting coilovers anyway).

 

Can anyone think of anything else? Any help would be much appreciated :)

Just buy a diesel avensis would be easier and a lot cheaper!

different gearbox too afaik. & then there is the (admittedly small) chance of getting an AD series engine that may develop the head/headgasket issue ...

Then you would have fun & games with DVLA & insurance ...

As frankie406 said it would be easier to buy an existing 2.2.
