VTS engine swap advice

[Gabber]

Evening all contemplating getting a vts lump to put in my 2000 reg vtr. Firstly will i need the three pin or single pin loom and ecu? And can anyone recommend a garage/specialist in the Staffordshire area to do it, also any rough ideas on how much i should be paying?

[Mickswan]

Your vtr should be three plug therefore you'll need a three plug S loom and engine. Otherwise it'll be a headache.

Hi there matey. Chris here owner of BeanieSport in Milton keynes. We've currently got a Saxo Vts in our workshop with rear end damage which we'll be selling the engine etc from as a drive in drive out conversion. If you're at all interested drop me a pm and we'll discuss needs, prices etc.

2000 plate should be crossover so could be single plug or 3 plug best to check what you have first tbh, normally 2000 is single plug though.

you may also have the crossover loom instead of the actual 3 plug. That means your big plug which goes to your interior loom will be different.

Cheers for that, doubt il be tackling it myself though as its my daily so will need it done over a weekend preferably. Spoke to a few people on here about getting it done, just need find out what the insurance difference would be compared to going for a standard VTS. Im 23 and about get my first years NCB, so insurance had been a dear do the past 9/10 month.
