One of the Irish lads is in the process of putting in the Galant VR4 2.5L TT engine, had to slightly modify the fire wall but think it went ok. One of the english lads also has it done I think. Seems to be the weapon of choice on this side of the hemisphere.

bennoz on here is about to complete his vr4 2.5l v6tt conversion and he didnt have to modify the firewall he made a new manifold for the turbo.

i am in the process of doing mine to i got ben to make me up a manifold to and then for some reason i had to get a new dump pipe made but ohwell.

These seem to be the most likely motors put into the fto has the engine mounts are the same.
for great power 2

It seems to be either slightly modifying the firewall, the rear manifold or the engine mounts to make it fit like a glove.

Mine had the rear manifold planed and angled downwards slightly, had the engine mounts modified slightly (to move the engine forward in the bay) and had the radiator fans moved in front of the radiator for clearance.
