Golf mk4

[vwmk4golf]

Hi all,

My name is Roche, im new to all this but i want some knowledge on what to do with a mk4 golf 1.6. i want some power from it and want to know whats the best engine swap for it? i know that everyone will just say go buy a R32 or a GTI but i dont want to. So what can i do for power? and also interior mods on the car, and exterior ive got a few plans for the car, im also only 17 so i cant make illegal mods noticeable but i do want to leave fords holdens in my rear mirror.

1.8t from a gti or a 2.8/3.2 from a 4mo/R32
not worth chasing power from 1.6l and 2.0l engines

Do you know where I can get an R32 engine from Melbourne? I've tried unique autos but they haven't came back with anything yet,

Yeah I know that's why I want to get rid of the 1.6l too slow

as there was only 200 R32 mk4s released in AUS they can be hard to come across locally

easiest would be a 1.8 turbo swap, so easy even I did it...

Gonna read your build thread now Stan.

+1 for Stan's idea.. I had it done too!

[vwmk4golf]

Hey Stan, how much it cost you all up?

Yeah thanks for you help Dylan think I might just buy on later on,

Thanks for all your help

I know of a complete 2000 GTI going for 3k... all the bits you need.

Well I'm doing a trade for my golf mk1 for mk4 1.6 and spent quite a bit on the mk1 so haven't got 3k right now
