So what came #1?
yup.. as it stands straight off the line speed a mk2 16 vs mk3 16v doesnt have a lot in it.. once you're up to speed there's even less in it.  i'd really like to see 50 - 100 times or something of that sort.
Once yee barge is moving theres no stopping it! arrrrrrrrr
its all power -> weight.
anyone seen what happens if you u put a mk2 16v stock vs a mk2 with the bigger mk3 16v ABF engine in it?
i'd like to know the outcome

Fact is the mk2 16v is the 'fastest' NA 4 cyl GTI produced.. and the mk3 16v is the seond most.. in terms of 0-60 AND power to weight.. even though the mk3 has a more powerful engine. if only they'd made it a 2.2!

i'd hazard a guess that a ABF powered mk2 16v would be a good match for a vr6 in 0-60 / power to weight terms.
Hmm, I heard that the Scooby WRX Turbo engines fit into Beetles nicely, that would be sweet. Power and retro cool.
yup and air cooled camper vans. i have friends who are so f*cked off with the engine in their bus that they' booked this conversion in for november at a cost of about 3,500...  about 3 times what they paid for the van in the first place!! ÂÂÂ
with the van's they put the radiator side on in teh van and cut hole in the side to draw air over it.
The old favourite in the dub scene was a porsche 911 engine since its also aircooled.. and is seen as "keeping it real" as its aircooled AND has a porsche pedigree like the beetle.
