1.8t in 4kq

[Ken]

Yes, if you need the 4 banger subframe, you would still need it.  The 4ks reference reminded me of the idea to use a fwd Coupe GT as a recipient.  It's already so light, I guess.

So, in this scenario, 1.8t to replace a 5 cylinder, does this require an adapter plate or not? :-)  Does the 1.8t bolt up to the 5 banger tranny, or just the 4 banger one (if that)?

Does anyone want to help me push my 4ksq into the garage from the side yard?  I need to start disassembly for engine swappage.  (it's kind of a joke, but I wouldn't refuse help!)

Thanks,

Ken
