My mate Andy has done 24V conversions for the same money it would cost to rebuild a 12v motor.

That's rebuild, not replace.

They go really well, I have driven Stan's Corrado with Custom-Code on it.

Sounds good to me...why rebuild your old motor when you can rebuild for the RIGHT amount of valves? ......

How much is a rebuild anyways?

Was going to be about 3000 quid in the uk for a bored out 2.8 and head recon to get back to 2.9 litres. Stan paid a few hundred extra and got a modern engine and no problems.

that's currently 6 grand...

I could buy two replacement motors and fabricate one in the back for that

I want one of them!

Thats an engine from a s3 right?

Curious, is it a big job putting a 1.8t into a mk3?

So having had a casual chat with VOLKSMAN he suprised me on a very busy day at work by bringing me a black colour concept with a blown engine and today dropping off a Bora 4 motion motor on a pallet!

Its on I reckon.

The plan is to basically run the engine with the VR6 ecu and wiring loom.

Wont make quite as much power as the full Mk4 wiring install, but is a damn sight easier and should result in a running car much sooner.

At first glance, looks like all the sensors are pretty much there, we are gonna have to use the Bora intake manifold and custom make an exhaust, but all else should bolt up.

I`ll take some pics soon and keep you all posted.
