As most know I have MK2 and I also have a MK3 VR6. Been trying to sell the VR6 as I have run out of time, space etc etc. For the peanuts I was asking and the painfull tyre kicking I had a good think and to be fair ill be better off selling stuff of the car, as 90% of it is all good id be better off putting an engine I love and know inside out into a car I love, so without having to say much more itll be easy to work out. So Breaking it over the break, selling it off and be VR6 ing the MK2. Don't come on here too much so if I get time or whatever ill update with pics.
Pretty much all I have to say at this stage

If you didn't have the VR6 motor handy would you have gone down the 20v turbo route?

Keen to keep an eye on this as i am very tempted to go down the same path with mine!

Was all ready to do just that, I have all the 20vt set up mate, but selling the VR was painful man, tyre kickers etc for peanuts, so might as well have an engine I love in a car I love, made sense. Selling all the other parts off. Get next to no response on here but its not MK5 or 6 So expect no less. Not to worry , I will document the upgrade as I go along .Originally Posted by sports racer

So what are you doing with the 20vt?

Putting a VR is a bad idea, I would know.
Haha, just kidding. It's a riot.
It's actually a bit fiddly using a mk 3 VR as a donor, lots more bits will need customising, as opposed to a rado VR or passat, which would be much better donors. You going to go wide track? Hope you like camber! lol
I'm sure you'll be able to do it, but yeah. Be prepared for a few fiddly bits.
I agree that mk 3 VR's are 'worth' peanuts these days. Bit of a shame, but it is what it is, I guess

Gotta love the sound of a tuned VR6

Jarred - what's fiddly about the mk3 VR as opposed to other VRs?
Or is that not what you were implying?
