Hey everyone I'm trying to figure out if I could put a nissan skyline r34 engine the rb26dett or the Toyota supra 2jz-gte motor into my 2015 range rover evoque pure premium. I blew the head from a lower radiator hose blow out in a snow storm and had to get home changed the part and bamn blown so land rover wants over 7k to fix it. I could her a supra mk4 TT or r34 TT engine for less n if it would fit throw ir in there. However I don't have any experience in engine swaps besides some crate motors into some old c10s. I have friends that own shps and would deff help and would be all in. My questions are will it fit? Is it possible? And how hard would it be? I know there's room.well should be. The 2.0t motor is sideways. Or if those don't fit what would be a great bad *** motor to throw in there and essentially have a little RR evoque sleeper lol. Something I can put in it and tune ans dyno it. While still maintaining all the electronics, key sysyem features ect. Option 2 rebuild the top.of motor and just upgrade performance parts ie turbo,intake, internals on stock engine

 

You will spend WAY more than $7k on an RB and 2J swap and significantly decrease the value of the Evoque. Just consider custom motor mounts, custom transmission adapter, standalone ECU & wiring harness, R&D spent making the Evoque speak to the stand alone ECU. And that's without the basic motor refresh parts (e.g., gasket kit, water pumps, oil pans, etc.). I suspect it will be way easier to just buy a new Evoque motor from a wrecker and do a like-for-like swap.

If you really want to go for a new motor, there is a reason why everyone puts in an LS. Cheap, easy, plentiful support, etc.
