What engine to put in my mk1...

[Jarred]

mk1 VR6 is way difficult. it's tough getting it into a mk2 let alone a mk 1!! that'll set you back like 8-10K i think. all up. and that's just the conversion, no eng mods etc.

I know heavy duty vavle springs are lik 70-80 US but they are to suit standard valves..

i found a motor with 90,000kms on the clock with ecu, wiring loom, etc

$1450

maybe its time to sell my gti motor and get this baby! i want a real project!

putting the 12a in my bug was too easy! LOL

VR6 into a mk1 is a very very very hard job (thats why there is only a handful in the world!)

i'm ready for a challenge.

but is it worth it...power to weight and power out put to the cost of the motor? or would it b cheaper and would i get more power if i just did up the motor i have?

ok decision is made.

i am ripping my golf apart selling the motor and buying a 2 door and putting a vr6 motor in it.

my mate made the decision for me.

i will put money on it you wont get a vr in there

16v is the way forward and more realistic

Best of luck to you if you do attempt it, its far from bolt it in and go far far from it unlike bolting any 8v into a mk1.
