"GA16DE: Will fit size wise but will require a few modifications to the RHS Chassis rail to fit, or you can use an electronic water pump. The gearbox shouldn't be much of a worry with a RS5F31A (from memory) fitting. Then you have to mate up some shafts from the gearbox to the stock K11 stub axles (hub). It would be alot better with any engine transplant to use an aftermarket ECU<BR><BR>GA15DE is essentially the same size as the GA16DE physically so I am assuming the same modifications are needed to fit it.<BR><BR>A CGA3 engine <I>should</I> bolt RIGHT IN as from what I've been told and heard, they are the same as the CG13 but with a few internal differences and a coil-over-spark system.<BR><BR>Sean<BR>

"will require a few modifications to the RHS Chassis rail to fit" do u mean the mounting bracket or do u mean the cutting of some portion of the car body?
presently i using the RS5F31A gearbox so assume i drop in a ga15de engine so i can straight away use back my old drive shaft rite?

ALso the GA is physically longer than the CG13 so you won't be able to use your existing driveshafts. Custom ones will have to be built (unless you're extremily lucky...). gearox mount will also have to be custom. Gearbox will bolt onto GA just fine.<BR><BR>Stick with the CG. The only thing the GA offers over the CG is more capacity and on the Japanese/Australia/American motors - VTC on the intake cam!<BR>
