Crazy idea for my MK2

[Martz]

Now, I don't have the money yet but I will spend around 5K - 8K on a mental conversion. I am considering something, well different

idea 1 - A BMW powered lump using the 330 not sure if it is possible or what costs are, but sounds good.

idea 2 - A Scooby Impretza Lump turbo'd and fast as feck.

idea 3 - A RS4 Lump, stonkingly kwik!

Ok, it all comes down to money and I am sure it will take me 2 years to do save something decent, but I have set up a fund for the job.

Dizzie has inspired me to do something different.

Yup a crazy idea !   I might be wrong but I'd say it's gonna cost you more than 8k to go for any of those options if they are at all feasible in the first place. Good luck though matey

there was a mk1 golf with impreza running gear on ebay about 5mths ago - was pretty mad looking

Do a vr6 turbo, very very fast

nah vr6's are to common in a mk2, see about a w8 or something audi and supercharged.

what about a twin turbo pdi50 diesel???

[golfvr6]

The 3.2 VR6 will fit in a mk2

out of the r32? yeah i saw it at inters! wouldnt that affect handling cos of the MASSIVE weight tho?

[golfvr6]

No, the new vr6s are aluminium, so much lighter than the old cast iron blocks.
 

[Veedubgt18v]

oh right!  that would be an interesting conversion. turbo r32!  

[golfvr6]

Yeah!
Without a turbo, the engine would be good for 300bhp with a few mods and a chip
