Easiest conversion

[AudiA8Quattro]

I couldn't tell you the differences, only that the part numbers listed are different!

when you start looking at the finer detail of the engine mounts really if your fitting a higher power 20vt you should ditch the std mk2/3 mounts completly and dangel the engine on pendulum mounts as it's done in the mk4 and then use a dogbone to keep the enigne in the correct place.

had issues before on moke pokey mk2 conversions with excessive enigne movement useing the std mount locations as TBH hey are crap and had to fabricate a dogbone to keep the enigne firmly in it's hole.

solid frount mounts are also a fail, of it's pushing any power the bracket between the engine and mount just snaps.

So you would agree that what mounts used is to do with engine power not just weight?

^of course. Greater torsion requires a tougher mount/bracket. But then some vary engine to engine (specifically when talking about hydrospastic mounts) due to dampening requirements.

Standard mounting locations are fine on Mk2 or Mk3, no reason their would be excessive movement unless you are using very cheap mounts

Speaking from what exactly and for what engine?

I guess now you've completed one engine conversion you know all you need. 

[F17BAD]

ones done so far are 16v abf, VR6, AGU, BAM/AMK actually.... and as it says, Mk2 or MK3


sooon to be doing scooby do into a old camper

plus no matter how many iv done, I'm driving round in mine every day which is high output.. iv done more than enough miles to know all is good

Funny how people with more experience seem to think different.

Maybe you should look up Nige Pinder's thread on your beloved Club GTI.  Now there's someone who's done some serious testing.

Do come back when you've done a bit more than the little you've now done.

You might be slightly less wet behind the ears.

Sorry, I think you have mistaken me for somebody that actually gives a f**k what you think.....

big power motors will try jump out the engine bay if you use std mount locations no matter what mounts you use.  the mount locations are at the end of the day crap.

swing the motor on pendulum mounts and all is better will handel much more power.  there is a reason why most oem's use pendulum mounts vw switced to them and the mk2 and 3 vwm cars used pendulum mounts.

scooby into camper is old and boreing now,  DH did one of them some years ago.  try doing something without a how2 guide
