VR6 into a mk2 is a common conversion, will cost you a few grand.

it's not really worth doing

as the lump is so heavy it can make the nose "tramline" a little.

Nothing against VR6's it's just the 20v is just better buck for bang.

I have to agree with that. A fellow I work with just sold his a few months ago. Very heavy front on that car. Looks the nuts though!

The most hassle part of any engine conversion is getting the engine wiring sorted out, you need to find out if it has been done properly or whether or not your gonna have to sort it out yourself.

TSR and most of the other tuners sell a wiring loom pre made that plugs into the existing fuse box and makes it a piece of piss to do.

Lets us now how you get on.

So your replacing the engine, brakes, suspension and gearbox?

... why not just buy a VR6? ... get the nice interior...
