mk2 engine transplant which ones best?

[cняis]

If the mk3 VR can do 0-60 in around 7 seconds, then a mk2 with similar power should be getting around 6.5 seconds. All hypothetical of course.

You'd be laughing harder if you stuck a better final drive in there

Yer thatd make loads of difference, I wanted it done but my gearbox is like 1 year old after a rebuild lol so I'm not gunna get it done again!

Will it make it rev more at high speeds though.

I was in the same boat as you. So i went for the 2.0 16v abf of a 98 golf. im in the middle of putting it in now and shpould be done by the wkend. i'll let you know how its. the abf engine is more revy so a bit more fun. but you can get more power out of the 1.8T

That`ll be gd if u can, really wana know ho straight forward it is to put in lol. Thinkin of pickin up an engine this wkend or maybe next.

the abf dropped right in no fuss. You will need to make sure the looms are not cut at the plug. The guy i got it of had done that and it was a pain getting a new one out of him and make sure it fits the ecu as well

And it plugs straight in? Have to change much? Cnt wait now ha
