ok, so ive got the 4wd drive subframes with driveshafts and a motor etc coming but......
(allthough i need the sheel at moment!) .. i dont have a clue what engine to run?
can i run the vry motor on this subframe? is the vr6 gear box different to the gti????
or do i run a 2.0 and do the head etc....
heeeeeeelp!
also if anyone around oxford has a half decent mk2 lieing about... could the holla
cheers

I don't think the syncro 4wd system will take a lot of power through it as I had a similar idea for a project.
-
this is true, but if it does fail then ill just have to make some stronger parts... and at the end of the day i can allways revert to the standard front wheel drive,
but what engine!
-
Fair enough! Personally I'd go for a 1.8T or VR6, can't help much on the helpful what fits bit but this page should come in useful :)

sounds like a bit of a monster project if you're starting from scratch with a few 4wd bits.. i assume you know its not a straight forward bolt-on job to a normal mk2 shell ?
-
yeah, theres a spot of cutting and shutting... is it to get the rear diff in or for the prop shaft? got the welder and the grinfer reasy! :nerd:
-
both :grin:
get yourself to a show and have a nosey underneath a synchro or a rallye to see how it all goes in.
as for the engine.. G60.. 1.8T .. 16vT .. VR6T .. all depends how mad you want to go.
-
ill try and do that... any near oxford???
I started off in the jap scene and i no there just reverting to naturaly aspirate motors again so i think i might stay non turbo.... but still try and get around 200 horsies!
what u think to a 2ltr golf 16v,,,, get cams, port and polish, bigger inlet, and then a nice liel 4 into 1???? maybe then lughten the fly wheel etc...
-
Your idea for a 2.0 16v will get you in the region of 200bhp take a little. You might benefit from Throttle Bodies better than the k-jet setup which kinda tops out at 200bhp. Along with this you will need a suitable 4wd gearbox as a normal 2 wheel drive one wont mate up to your 4wd setup.
-
Why not just buy a G60 Syncro?
well, or find one as a donor. 200bhp from a G60 is reasonably easy.
-
ok, ive got teh gear box from the syncro coming!
ive been offered a 1.8t for 700 quid the lot...... what will i need to get that in... would i need that gear box or what ger box would fit on?
-
just had a look at a few things and dont i just need the transfer box? i mean to run the 4wd?
-
Im no gearbox expert but id guess you need a full 4wd gearbox. Preferbly one off a G60 sncro and not the 1.8 carb syncro. The latter wont handle the power. The gearbox will bolt to the 20vT no problem. When you say the lot for £700 what do you mean? Do you get the loom and clocks too?
-
yeah it was for the loom ecu, driveshafts, box and rads..... basically everything. but i dont have 700 quid today lol.
ive looked and the g60 syncro has a transfer box aswell. they both bolt onto the back of a standard gti gear box....... so if a vr6 box fits etc,,,,, thena the transfer box should fot on.....
