Dropping a vr6 lump into my mk3 gti

[Outlawsaffa1982]

Hey guys.

Can anyone shed any light on this matter... Is it going to be a massive job or relatively "easy"? Can it be done or is it better to just by a vr6?

Cheers

Plus. I wouldn't drop it into it might damage the car. Use a hoist.

No point mate might aswell buy a vr6. Personally if i was you and wanted to keep your gti but make it faster i'd go for the 1.8 t lump out of the mk4 it will be faster straight away and its a hell of a lot more customizable if you want more power. Only thing is i dont think its that straight foward to do

1.8t is very straight forward, no more work than a vr6 just more money and a few custom parts needed (which are all readily available and easy to get hold of)

Thanks guys!

I figured I had answered my own question... Just wanted to see if it was possible and if it was a mission!

I'm not interested in the 1.8t lump, I want the sound of the 6 cylinder! Hmmmmmm.... Sex on wheels

I think I actually prefer the sound of my 1.8t to the vr6, with the right engine mods and exhaust it can sound just as mean. different, but just as mean

NO FECKING WAY  1.8t's sound niiiice with the right set up...BUT... The VR noise is sexual
