« on: 15 November 2005, 12:13 »
ok i have the oppertunity to have a g60 engine dumped into my valver, pros and cons please, btw i know more insurance and more fuel, but what else good bad whatever.

the g60 will be from a donor corrado with service history and lower milage then the gti i am popping out, i will also uprate the brakes (brembo) and the suspention (koni) is there anything else i need to be thinking about?

i think..... the wiring is the only real problem. partly because the 16v is k-jet and the g60 is digifant plus the ecu is on the passeneger side on a corrado and its on the drivers side on golfs so i think you may have to do a few tweaks. nothing too stressfull though. you might want to talk to jettatx and smokeymcpot who've both done this.

if its ok with you i'll move this to the mk2 section as you'll get more response there.
