GL to VR6

[VDUBD]

its sort of a project for me to swap everything over as i am an apprentice mechanic and it will be an experience for me. alrdy have vr springs in mine but will prob get coilovers to solve suspension, brakes is easy and the engine is gna b the oly relli hard part.

You cant do just brakes, you need the subframe, driveshafts, gearbox, shifter, pedal box, bigger master cylinder, wiring loom, cluster and more.

You need a complete donor car and lots of time.
I`d only attempt it if it was the worlds nicest 2 door.

I`m not doubting you can do it, its just whether its worth it.

i agree...

its far to much stuffing around for not much gains...

turbo = easy reliable power...and way less stuffing around!!!!

Yep I agree too, easier, probably less expensive in the long run (think of maintenance of VR6's at their age lol) and that sound...

plus you could tune and tweak the hell out of it once it's in for even more power!

turbo parts for a 2.0l non cross flow head? if anyone wants to hook me up with some parts ill build it =] atm got 2g to spend thanks to the government haha. for starters prob do the head, thick head gasket leave the pistons for now and work on top end esp. and also ecu will cost quite abit to get done for a turbo.

well its gna b a long process but if everyone rkns turbo is easier well turbo it is, always wanted a turbo haha. was gna do turbo vr but wayyy to much messing around.

also prty sure if i put a turbo on my gearbox is gna ****, especially the way us p platers drive...

I have an ABA 2L crossflow motor squirrelled away.
You could run it with your current ecu and the crossflow motor is easily tuneable with stuff from the states. Plug and play in your car and you can keep your gearbox.
Hit me up with an offer if you feel the need.
