hi all its been a while but im back :smiley:
has anyone come across and detailed build threads on an s3 engine into a mk4 4motion
i have done searching etc and it hasnt really bought up much thats worth a read..
i know the engine and box fits straight in to the mk4,
im after the sort of knowledge like how much of a pain in the arse with matching the s3 loom to the mk4 and reprograming the
ecu to match the mk4 clocks immobolizer etc etc.
many thanks
james

Bollox to that charge or turbo the 4mo or just get an s3 it's same 4x4 setup on the mk1's

costs a fortune :cry: op pm f17 bad as he done it to a mk3

Don't see the point in putting an s3 engine in to a 4mo though add it all up you could get a second hand charger cheap enough if u can do the work ure self wouldn't be as bad baz surely

charging a 2.8 is a rediuclous unless u can afford to run it
the aim of doing the conversion it not down to the cost of running 2.8 n/a
its to go back to turbo with 4wd and potentially 300bhp :cool: and 4 doors

James I can do the clocks and ECU etc
Dan off ukmkivs would be the best person to ask I reckon, I'll send him a PM for you
-
You run a MK1 TT 4wd box. That gives you the 4wd take off and fits a 1.8T block....then you just match that up to your engine code of choice?
-
If you want to go ahead with the conversion. The best thing to do would to buy a cheap S3 brake the car keeping the bits you want and selling the rest. You could also make couple of grand braking it.

^^^goof idea :cool:
