An interesting Mk1 engine

Ive always wanted to see a modern day golf 6/7 1.4T go into an old golf... it'd be a hoot

The irony being that the original MK1 engine would be more reliable!

Mk3 2.0 with mk2 gti head is the best bang for your buck in terms of NA, but honestly the difference is barely noticeable compared to a mk2 gti complete engine.

It's noticeable, trust me. There's no way I'd go back to a 1.8 in my MK2.

Cross flow is your way to go for good N/A power.

Look at the 1.8 8v from a cordoba, 20v 1.8 non turbo from an audi or get the favored 16v (KR, PL or ABF)

I'm running an 8v RV (mk2 gti head) and a mk3 2.0L bottom end with twin weber 40 IDFs and a 272 cam. Car dyno'd just under 70kw at the wheels and the engine cost the better part of $500 to build. Keep it simple and go the 8v route. I've also got a 297 cam that might be available if you're interested

You want an interesting engine?



Full of expensive bits. Hate to think what it's worth and I doubt it's new owner would part with it.

I think the new owner needs to run that rather than the 1.8T


Only The Good Die Young 45

What exactly is it though? Motorsport?
