Timing slipped on my F20A4 engine and destoyed the valves, looking to swap the engine completely not sure what else fits? thanks, Jen

Lots fits. Just depends on how much work you want to do

Incidentally I have a full h22a5 swap available. Engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, ancillaries and keys

thanks
I'd ideally like to have a bigger engine in it I don't mind spending a bit more if its going to improve the car, whereabouts are you based ??

Near cambridge. I think the only thing you'd need would be mounts and possibly Driveshafts

Yep, if you want more power, the easiest/best 'straight deal's thing to do is to drop in an h22. It's a bit more involved in a 5g than on a 4g (due to the coded immobiliser) but all still do-able and Ek9sid has everything you need there, by the looks - though you might need to pick up the manifold and downpipe to match.

yep, that is a fair bit of a trek. I haven't got any plans on venturing up that way atm.

But if you do decide otherwise, this'll be going relatively cheap as I need the space lol

get hold of Newkid or Vanzep i am sure they can walk you through the swap and might even help

Engine mounts should be the same. Either way they are cheap to get. Should be a straight forward swap.

It's the right engine for the car. Just do it!
