I was just wondering if anyone has done this... I found a vr4 at a junkyard near my house. I was just wondering if anyone knew whatI would need to get from it. Also does anyone know if the pistons and rods are the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The pistons are different for sure. Not 100% about the rods but i believe they are. You can do the swap fairly easily. You will need the motor, ECU, exhaust.... hmm... am i missing anything else?

 

dont forget the turbos... and downpipes, wiring harness, a trip to HKS, and about 4000k in cool stuff... then youll have some fun!

 

Um... i kinda already said that stuff... Exhaust, ECU and motor basically covers what you said.

To answer your other question yes it is really common

 

Front motor mount. Oil lines and cooler. Oil Pan.

 

The oil pan is different?

 

Yes, there is a difference between the 2 bolt-4 bolt main oil pans. I think the only difference between the NA and TT oil pans (of the same generations) is no oil return bung on the pan. They may be other differences, but I'm not sure.

 

just trying to be helpfull....
If anyone needs me, Ill be in the back killing myself...

 

Don't kill yourself...it's only the internet...

 

no way man... this **** is life... besides, killing myself will really show em... lol
