It's not a huge hurry the eta car isn't going anywhere. It's just that I didn't ask how much people paid for their eta or m42 engines. I asked if anyone had an article on the swap. That's why i was short.

Well I need to get the tranny bench tested, as it came out of a wrecked car so I am not sure of history on it, the engine seems ok, need to do a compression test.
its a bunch of little things that I need to buy to get it running, although the biggest thing is that I can not afford to not have a car for a long period of time :(

I built up a 2.7L i engine using a super eta complete bottom end and an i complete top end and software. No modifications what so ever
Also, does anyone have the ETK for download? A guy on e3s put it on his FTP a couple times last year, but I would always check my PM's too late and it was shut down.

Originally posted by KevinMAnyway, which ECU exactly do I need. And, sadly, my car is an auto for now. Its cheaper to do this top end swap than the tranny so I'd like to do that first if possible. Do you think the auto (171k) will be able to handle it? And would it cause any other complications in terms of shift points? I would think not right? Thanks, Kevin

Kevin, you can still use your auto tranny but it defeats the purpose of the swap imho. Try put together some funds over time so you can do it all in one shot. You need a 173 ECU or any of the later ones. If you're going to do the work yourself and already have an "i" donor motor its cheaper than the tranny swap.

I have also done the 2.7 upgrade on my super E, i have the stock i top-end and the eta bottom-end with a 153 computer. All has worked fine for me, it is definatly worth doing. Not too difficult to do either.
