Easiest conversion
« on: 06 November 2011, 11:10 »
Alright guys this questions prob been asked so many times and your all prob getting the hump with it but I've looked and can't find it anywhere. I have a 1.8 8v and was just wondering what would be the easiest conversion to do. As I really want some more power. Thanks in advance.

Skills not so much but friends that know a fair amount.
Budget around a grand maybe stretch a bit more if I had to.

Any Golf3 engine.

Especially one that comes with a Golf3 around it, as it'll save a lot of head-scratching mid-conversion.  :grin:

Starting my engine conversion and it's stupidly easy so far, its an abf. And I have no skills, so just any engine that will drop straight in really.

Sweet this is sounding good to me. Had a vr6 about 4 months ago had so much done to it was running around 220bhp let it go for penny's like a d1ck. Would have been perfect.
