By cutting a huge hole in the firewall, pushing the wheel wells out, upgrading the suspension, modifying the frame, fabricating engine mounts, fabricating a bellhouseing or finding an adapter for the transmission, upgrading the tranmission, differential, and axle to handle the torque, swapping the wiring harness, ECU, finding a way to make the ECU talk to the TCU, mounting a radiator and trunk at the BACK of the car, upgrading the fuel pump, transfering the MAF

And finally, finding someone to pay to take the car thats been destroyed trying to get an EG33 into a spot where and inline four or a small V6 usually live.


Not to sound pessimistic or anything, but the EG33 is a low, long, and very wide engine. Current gen VW engines (aside from the W16 - shweet!) are tall, and slim (comparatively) It fits into vanagons well because there is already a flat 4 positioned there, the engine bay is already the right shape. the golf, jetta, and cabriolet don't have that going for them.


It would probably be simpler to build a car from scratch.
