Found a TSI AWD Shell - Debating on Engine

[1999DSM]

Hi you all,

So yesterday I sold my 97 spyder gs-t. I can buy a 2ga TSI Shell, its missing the engine and part of the interior.

So the thing is that there are no 4G63t engines for sale in my country, i found 1 in the classifieds here, i already sent a pm to the user.

In my country i can buy a 4G63 N/T engine i've been reading threads and threads of n/a to turbo conversions for this engines.

Summary, with forged pistons i wont need oil squirters. Thats what i can understand from the threads.

The reason for this topic is:

1-Will this engine work with the 2g motor mounts? what i mean is that if i put the motor mounts i wont have fitting issues in the engine bay?

2-Will using forged pistons without squirters work surele? the thing is that i dont have a big budget for this and will definately like to do it the best reasonable way.

3-Or will i be better off trying to get 2g oem pistons and squirters and the intake cam and work with them?

Thanks for all your help!

When you say a "non turbo" engine are you referring to the 420a or the 4g63? If it's the 420a then no it won't bolt up but the 4g63 will.

This THREAD is all you need to convert a 4g63 N/T into a turbo

Ok the reason i made this thread was for that same thread i already read.

I got everything of the 2g exept for the engine...

so basicaly i wont need to do much to with it, im concerned about the fitment of the engine in the 2g bay and about the pistons and squirters.

Thanks for the help

Why not try and find an engine online?
Shipping costs can't be THAT bad..

I guess it depnds if he wants to swap pistons or not..But then the next question is, does the n/a have the same cams as the turbo 6 bolt? Which i'll put my money on no..
Then you would probably be better off just finding a turbo engine..Unless you want to drop more money..
