Audi S4 engine into a mk2 golf, can it be done? been offered the engine out of a rear prang write off for ?700!
-
ohhhhhhh, that would be very nice indeed mate! ;)
you would have to make your mk2 4 wheel drive wouldnt you mate?
and that would meen spending some serious money on in!
but 700 quid for the s4 engine is an absolute steal!!
snap there hand off at that price mate, bargain.
i got quoted 1200 for a g60 engine!
-
It won't fit without major surgery to the body of the car.
Thats why vw made the 15 degree V with a single head, to fit in a golf.
-
well ive bought the bloody thing so it will be going in somehow!
-
You will have to put in it inline with the chassis, the same as they put them in the Audi.
-
Rear engine?
-
No, the engine is in the front, but inline not transverse like in golfs.
ie. look under the bonnet and the audi engine has the gearbox at the back, on a golf the gearbox is on the right.
-
hmmm i see.... think im jus gunna have to give it to designadubs along with a blanko cheque!
-
Yeah will have to be a blank cheque.
Will probably cost thousands to get the car sorted.
Bloody good if you can afford it.
-
too much power through the front wheels if you ask me. pop it in the back with it connected to the rear.... and buy a mk1 ;D
bloody good money if the engine is decent though. I can' t see it going under the bonnet without a lot of work though.
-
i cant believe you just brought it mate!its a bargain tho!
do you want the number of some quality specialist that would be able to do the job for you? if its possible to do the job?
i hope you got about 10 grand hanging about spare! :D :D :D :D :D
-
wat a quality conversion it would be as well mate ;)
surely the 1st in the country.
its given me inspiration to get something a bit more special than a g60 lump for my mk2.
have you enquired at any garages to get it done?
Quality!
-
whats the bhp on these engines?
-
the vr6 conversion is not good news at all for the mk2 mate! :P
go for the g60 everytime!
the vr6 is to heavy man!
-
i wanna do something a little special as well mate. ;)
mine is definately going to be a g60 conversion!
you can get a decent g60 engine for ?1200, including the kit to convert it as well,
for that money i wouldnt bother with the 16v lump mate, because for dirt cheap money you can get some serious sh!t under the bonnet of your mk2! ;)
-
oh yeh marty,
there is absolutly no way you could get over 200 bhp out of a standerd 16valve (even if you bored it out to 2.2 litres the most you could get would be 197bhp.
so go for the g60!
-
ive just got a quote from a guy to fit a g60 engine to my mk2!
for ?500 quid! :D
wat a bargain hey!
random jord,
the guy who will be doing it for me is an absolutly amazing engineer(he is currently putting a v5 4 motion engine in a jetta, 4wheel drive jetta!)
would you like me to ask him whether he could do your s4 job as well? ;)
-
why dont you put 1.8t in your cars? easily the best engine for tuning potential. i reckon thgey will get dirt cheap in a few years cos that engine is in nearly every vag car plus seat! theres gonna be loads in the breakers yard
-
^^^^^I think you're right.........just biding my time and keeping a look out.
-
ive had a turbo before mate, fiat coupe 20valve turbo.
i want to go for supercharged power!
but i wouldnt mind a 1.8 t at all!
-
1. the S4 engine could be sold at a profit, if it's unfittable.
2. Can't you stick a supercharger on the valver engine?
-
maybe, but it would probably cost the same as putting the whole g60 engine on there.
so im gonna go the whole hogg and get the g60!
-
fair enough ;)
-
random jord,
hows the project goin mate?
im getting my bbs alloys 2day and my rs2 badges as its pay day!
couple more paydays and that g60 is coming! :D :D :D
-
Well currently the project is doing not much! ive got the engine in my garage but funding is the problem at the mo, just walked out of my job! so it might be a month or to before i can get it goin again. this guy whos doin your swap, can u let me know if hes any good? cos peole iv asked so far to do this one have all said f**k off! oh and
I NEED LEATHERS!!!!!!!!
-
;) hes quality mate.
currently he is putting a v5 4 motion engine into a jetta and turning it into a 4 wheel drive monster!
can you imagine that? ???
f**kin hell!! :D :D :D
do you want his number?
hes putting a g60 lump in mine for ?500 quid! ;)
-
Not sure where any of you guys are based but these guys can do pretty much anything you can think of.

Had a go in the 106 featured on their site a few nights back and boy is it fast! The owner is very impressed with their work and from what I could see the conversion has been carried out ot the highest of standards ;D
-
I have spoke to a few people about the 1.8 20 v turbo conversion and the best person i reckon most suited was andy waters www.awtracksport.com 01507 522242
He quoted me ?2000 to fit it and he said his quote is what he charges if somthing goes wrong he wil sort it out hes done the conversion before and has a dual charged (turbo and super charged) space framed mk2. he said he would need the car for 2 weeks tops drive in drive out and it would be rolling out with 240 horse approx he would rolling road it in the price to test power e.t.c.
-
:o :o :o,
thats a quality price dumb as fook!
what would you have to provide apart from the engine?
that sounds alot more realistic than the 7k quoted to me by c and r to fit a g60 into my mk2!
i rang supergolfs and they quoted me 5k and my beauty would go to germany :(
dont kno if i could be arsed with that,
ill give this guy a ring and see what he is saying. g60! ;D
-
yeh, maybe if i can get the right money for it ;)
but either way im still doin a g60 conversion!
know anyone that might be interested?
-
Yo Marcus, my project is now officially on hold! well the engine part anyway, ive found someone to do it, but no one who will insure it! apparently it would make my car the same insurance group as an S4 which is bout GP17 or somethin so bein my age an havin 6points everyone ive rung has just said point blank they wont quote me! so in the mean time im gunna get the old girl lookin sh!t hot! still searchin for leathers gunna get some big bumpers and maybe a respray. an im off to Supergolfs on saturday to look at sum BBS nice an cheap at ?1000!
-
yo random jord, ;)
who the fook did you get to do the golf?!!
how much for the conversion? when you get it done its going to be the badest golf on the streets!
supergolfs are pretty coll man, they got alot of lovely g60s.
but 1 grand for bbs alloys is way too expensive!!!!!!!! :o :o :o
