R32 engine or vr6 ?? Your thought's ?
« on: 22 March 2013, 22:34 »
Hey I have a V reg 2.0 non turbo gti now I'm wanting more power I mean quite bait more now I had been looking at a vr6 2.8 174bhp and then turboing it ?? Or do I source a r32 engine and put that it ??

Thoughts please ? It's only used as a second car so it not like its used everyday , I am used to driving tho my evo which was running 380bhp !!

Why would u put the mk3 vr6 engine in it when there's the mk4 v6?? Seriously u want power drop a 1.8t in
Would be the cheapest option. V6 for note but in all seriousness without chucking serious coin at a v6 engine u won't get mega gains like u would from a 1.8t

As said. Ive spend loads on my mk4 enough money for a evo easy,but when its finished it will be one of a kind and ill love it as I love Golfs and that what I want but when my mate takes me out in his fq300 and power slides round a roundabout in the dry (private road of course) you do realise that no matter what you do to the mk4 it will never handle like that, ever!

But im still going to tune the golf  :smiley:

If you are determined don't waste £1000 getting a 225 lump
Get a aum or similar for £400 and then spend the 600 on bits like a fmic, bigger turbo etc
