MK3 golf driver , vr6 conversion advice . and hella quad advice needed

[dan iow]

hi im dan and i have a mk3 golf driver  1.8 8v ABS engine code with 4 stud hubs  . and i have bought a L reg vr6 to do a vr6 conversion to my golf . there are a few things i am unsure of , i want to keep 4 stud wheel bolts as i want to keep my 4 stud wheels but i dont know if the vr6 engine will bolt onto my 1.8 8v gearbox . if not , when i put the vr6 box in , will my 4 stud shafts fit the vr6 gearbox .

also will the vr6 caliper carriers and calipers bolt to my golfs original hub and then use the g60 discs ?

and what do i do with the wiring , do i just use all of the vr6 engine loom and ecu and will it all just unplug and plug in .

and the vr6 donor car has quad lights , how do i confirm that they are hella quad lights , where abouts would the markings be .

all advice will be appreciated , thankyou dan

Needs to be a VR6 gearbox.

The lights, if genuine hella, will have..

A hella stamp on all 4 lenses
A hella stamp on both outer covers, between the two lights, towards the bottom
A hella sticker on the backings
Hella stamps on the rubber covers that go over the part where the bulbs are

Basically, you'd know if they weren't Hella.

as above need to use VR box, but it will bolt up to your old driveshafts and running gear just fine.

excellent , thanks guys . cant wait to get the vr engine in . also does putting a corrado throttle body on a golf vr engine make much difference ?

Could I ask before someone else why do you want to put the VR in.

Corrado throttle body and upper inlet manifold is what to go for.

i want to put the vr engine in because the 1.8 8valve is a bit tired and i have had it for a year now and its a bit slow . and the vr6 induction noise is immense . and the vr donor car is cheap

Im doing the same conversion in my golf 16v, doing it for the noise, best thing is to drop both sub-frames then change the hubs.

as mines a driver its 4 stud which is a pain because i want to keep 4 stud as i have bought deep dish wheels now and want to keep them 

plus the vr gearbox syncro has gone in 2nd . so i was hoping to do it on a major budget and use my original 'driver' gearbox . but i dont think that will work , but i have been tolf that the vr6 shafts bolt to the vr6 flange ? . and i will use the front brake set up but with 280mm 4stud discs off a g60
