2.5 to 3.0
« on: 19 May 2009, 11:08:10 »
I plan to swap my existing 2.5 for another one i have which has half the miles and has been better maintained  but i got thinking ... if im going to sway out an engine  would i not be as well fitting the 3.0 v6  as its the same amount of work

so my question is  is it a straight swap? will the ecu etc do fine with the larger engine or should i just save some pennies and fit the 2.5 i already have?

its far easier & cheaper to just buy a 3litre MV6 Or Elite mate!

If you fit a larger engine then you might have to swap the gearbox too. I know on autos going from 2.5 to 3.0 that the original AR25 should be replaced by the AR35. Not sure about manual transmission though but it's worth considering.

To do: Replace brake discs and pads; adjust already replaced shoes; check for leaks in oil cooler, cambelt area, crank seals, sump, dipstick; replace osf door; replace a tyre; clean, MOT.

2.5 & 3.0 manual both use the R28 i believe

2.4 Auto uses the AR25 where the 3.0 uses an AR35

its cheaper to just buy a 3litre though you can buy an old preface elite 3.0 or mv6 for £500 even less if you look around at auction

 I have a manual so the box should be fine
is the 3.0 a direct swap?

No need to do that. They are all the same!

Just unplug the engine loom by the battery box and plug in the new one.
