I have a 2002 VW Passat with a completely wrecked engine, what engine is easiest to put in if I can?

2002 VW Passat, with a horrible 2.8 V6 motor in it... I want to put either an W8 motor in it within the VW perameters, an Audi 4.2 V8 engine or the Audi Biturbo V6. Basically I want an upgrade with some more balls than the previous. Which one should I pick based on easily installed, HP, and additional mods.

It's cheaper, faster, easier, more luxurious, and it's already got the v6 biturbo engine.



For your passat, the V6 biturbo will give the most power if modified.



The W8 passat motor will be the most easily installed.



Since you are asking this question, it's safe to assume that you haven't done it before so none of these will be easy. Unless you can find someone who can do engine management and modify the wiring harness, the engine won't even run. These aren't 1960's cars where engines could be swapped with 10 wires. None of these options are cheap. I have a 2002 VW Passat with a completely wrecked engine, what engine is easiest to put in if I can?Forget about it. If you attempt to put the W8, or the Biturbo V6, or the 4.2 (which is the W8), you have to look at the following. Wiring harness, the "brain", and the transmission. Get a good used 2.8- try Shokan.com. Although, it's an Audi parts outlet, the Audi 2.8 30 valve is the same as the VW's.I have a 2002 VW Passat with a completely wrecked engine, what engine is easiest to put in if I can?Go with the 1.8T. You can get the whole package out of a wrecked one for way less than any of the engines you are considering, with plenty left over for a new chip, bigger turbo and injectors, intake, headers... you get the drift.
