Engine/turbo/gearbox/intercooler all look untouched. Turned it off straight away, coolant hose on cold side snapped both ends that's about all we could see with a tiny look. (Apart from small cosmetic things like hot side air box squashed etc)Selling isn't going to do much considering how much I've spent on all the parts.What I'm thinking is getting maybe a cheaper g6e with some luxeries and swapping everything over (driveline, engine, brakes, fuel system, intercooler etc)Has anyone done this or know how much work/problems/money is involved in the swap? Will be doing as much of the swap as possible myself.Also will a turbo/non turbo g6e make any difference if only keeping body? Coming from a 2010 xr6t sedan.Thanks in advance!

Otherwise the other cars ECU will need so form of programming to accept the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear this!I would imagine the cheapest way will be to buy an XR6 non turbo and swap it all over if your capable of doing it yourself. I'd imagine it's going to get pretty expensive if you need to pay somebody to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ECU I'm pretty sure will just drive any engine as it doesn't know any better. But the BEM and some other modules are paired to the ECU.

(I know BEM is body electrics but not sure where that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
