Alright, so iv just brought a mk4 to go with the wife's mk3 lol
51 plate 1.6 16v, mint interior, mint exterior everything works and drives lovely, mot and tax £650 bloody bargain!
Only problem is..... It's a 1.6!!!
What's my options in regards to engine swaps I dont want to go 1.8t as I might as well just get a GTI in the first place!
I was wondering if a vr6 would go in if so how much of a mission would it be?
Or a 2.8 v6 from a 4motion similar engines, what parts would I need?
Or any other options? Is the 1.6 and good to tune up?
Thnks in advance

bargain there mate but tbh without spending a fortune i dont think your gonna get much extra from it in tuning wise maybe air filter and exhaust would help... as you said you dont want a 1.8t that is the most tuneable lump you ould put in really as for 4mo etc i dont know but sure one of the guys be along to help you out hth a lil bit :smiley:

Best thing to do is run around in the 1.6 whilst you save up for something better. Amount of work involved turning your 1.6 into something with a v6 engine would be silly when you consider that you can just go out and buy said car for less in the first place.

sell up buy a 1.8t :smiley:
-
you can pick a 1.8t up for quite cheap nowadays but insurance may be a factor so you would have to check and sum things up first lets not forget the insurance here please chaps on a 1.8t as some ppl know they rape you :grin: damn i think my soft side is coming out using words like please :laugh:

Lol it was a good bargain so I had to snap it up, and the insurance is a bummer for a GTI, I don't want to go crzy with power just have a bit more poke as the wife's mk3 is only a 1.8 8v and it's faster :-s
-
the 1.6 will struggle to pull the mk4,s heavy body
-
as daz says is correct if its not big power your looking for just slam it and stick some nice wheels on it and use it as a look nice and go slow car :grin: power aint everything but it puts a whopping big fat grin on your face :grin:

ok stop bloody showing off :laugh:

Save up and then get something quicker, building what you can buy never makes sense.
