Ibiza 1997 Engine SWAP

[dukhqan]

Hey guys,
I wonder if the new 1.8t 20V engine can fit o the 1997 Ibiza, because i heard it can't be fitted normally because the old engine mounts don't fit the new one, is that true??
or is there a way to swap my 2.0l 8V with the new 1.8t 20V??

it fits on OE engine mounts.... use Mk3 Ibiza 1.8T ones.

well yea am new, and plus am not a mechanic at all, but i have a good one but he is more into BMW so he asked me to gather all the info before we start removing the current engine so we don't have to lose much time
ok let me ask this thing what is the difference between the Seat 1.8 20VT and the VW 1.8t 20V?? r they the same??
ooh forgot to tell you that currently i have VW 2.0l 8V engine on my 1997 ibiza
