engine swap g60 into a mk3 golf help

[dlongmu]

If not much harder a swap I'd say the newer 1.8t's would definately be a better engine. If you have the mechanical skills though and don't mind some hard work fire an H22a in there, for the money you can't get a much better engine. My old one produced a proved 229bhp and was brutally quick for an n/a with not much less torque than a VR6 (and peak torque coming in at 4.5k rpm)

Isn't it illegal to swap an older engine into a newer car?

well i wanted to turbo mine but that was to expensive the corrado needs to much spent on it to get it back on the road but the engine is sweet and running 0ver 200 bhp. i will be putting my engine up for sale and the rest of the corrado if any body is intrested.it is a lot of work but how often do you c a golf mk3 g60

how do i put pics up on this forum new to all this?

I feel sorry for the rado though :'( Should be a good project none the less!

Although a VR Supercharged is the way forward

Not many and the reason is the engines are hard to find plus can be lots of trouble.

i looked into putting a charger on my 16v engine but it was very pricey keep looing for a g60 they are allways on pistonheads
