Why do you want to mate? Doubt it because I'm sure the mk5 r32 is a fsi engine which means your gonna have to change wiring and alsorts of stuff  I don't see why you would want to though? And they didn't so a mk6 with a vr6 engine mate

The MK4 & Mk5 R32's have the same blocks/head/cams, the difference is in the ECU, wiring loom, plugs, injectors, fuel rail etc.

I believe it is possible to use MK4 ecu/loom etc with a Mk5 block, but I'm not 100% about that.

Although it's possible I don't there is much point in it....power is pretty much the same for both engines, a lot of work for little gain.

The Mk6 R engine will be harder to fit and a damn sight more expensive, not got a clue what's involved in that tbh.

as barry says anything is possible if you have money and time  :wink:

but my first option would be a bam lump with a hybrid turbo then theres plenty of power with a few other supporting mods  :cool:

Why not keep your engine and fit a k04 etc.

Most things are possible. Its mainly a question of time and money. Also helps if you got some skills as that will help keep the cost down!

Bloke on ukmkivs has fitted the 2.0 GTI ED30 engine to his MK4 but its a very awkward conversion as all the electrics etc are different

They're swapping it into a MK4 R32 so fitting a KO4 wouldn't be easy :wink:
