Thread: VR6 into a Mk2 FAQs

  1. #11

    Okay so i have a 95 VR6 and a 92 Mk2 GTI.... would it be worth pulling apart a perfectly good colour concept vr6 with only 130 thousand ks to make an extremely awesome mk2 vr6? I love the vr6, but i got beaten by a starlet GT the other day, so i'm screaming out for more power, or less weight... Considering that i dont have to buy anything, so to speak, in order to do the conversion, and i could recycle my leather seats and various other things that are good about the mk3, would it be a good idea. Its probably worth pointing out that the GTI is off the road at the moment because of some ignition problem, probably the ignition switch. This means i wont actually be going from two working cars to one, just swapping which car it is that works, basically. What does everyone think?
    Cheers, Rudiger

    Im not everyone but I think you'd be mad to butcher a perfectly good car. If you want to do it buy a wrecked VR6 at an auction. they pop up every now and then.

    I reckon you`ll quickly goto 2 cars that dont work and no I wouldnt pull apart a colour concept.

    Get a VR6 donk, or donor car and do another Mk2 VR6 by all means. Ans you can fix your auto problem at the same time.

    I have a VR6 wreck if you feel the need.

    Yeah, i nearly bought a passat vr6 a few months back for real cheap, the decision was between mk2 vr6 or going to africa and europe, i ended up deciding against the mk2 vr6 and am about 6 weeks away from going away. If i get kidnapped by muslim extremists in north africa though, i'm really going to regret not building that car. On the other hand, if everything goes well there'll always be new opportunities for it. One day i'm going to beat that starlet GT. Especially if i dont have a 110 kg maori passenger next time.

    i would'nt break either of those 2 cars as they are both limited editions & it would be a shame to mongralise them in any way
    There are plenty of mk1 2doors getting sold for almost nothing, that would make great project cars
    Not to mention that a mk1 2 door weighs not much over 800kg's & that way you could keep your maori mate as well

    Not really, most are 4 doors. Most of the 2 doors are gone now.

    And you cant easily put a VR6 into a MK1.

    This thread is to answer questions about how to do a Mk2 VR6 conversion, not discuss wheather or not you should.

    The Aussie Mk2s are underwhelming in my opinion, so lets have some fast ones to redress the balance.

    can you use the standard vr6 manifold and downpipe in the mk2 or do you need a custom downpipe?

    will the engine loom actually just plug straight into the mk2 fusebox?

    what sort of intake pipe/airbox would you use? stock vr6 or stock mk2 or cone filter?

    Ive seen a mk2 vr6 down pipe being sold by a few US sites. Specialy made for mk2s with a vr6. I would still like to know for sure though.

    Stock vr6 air box seems to be the go as far as ive seen or a pod.

    I just went for a spin in a Mk2 VR6 and it was pretty good, lot of bark for a little car.

    Props to Brenton for building it and JayJay for the homey save.

    Yes the Fusebox is plug and play, but get all the links right or stuff wont work.

    VR6 and Mk2 both have 2 looms, one for the engine and one for everything else. All other Mk3s have an integral loom for everything.

    You can use the standard VR6 exhaust, you are using the Mk3 subframe, so no rubbing there.
