anyway...........

could i put 2 vr6's in a mk2 rallye, then supercharge them, but not making a w12, making front engined, rear engined, 4wd? twin supercharged- lol. then would it be possible to whack a twin turbo on both 6's and make a hybrid.
I heard non other than VW were creating a turbo, supercharger hybrid called a TSI? with the benefits of constant power which is basically free, because the turbo would power the charger after the charger got the enigine up to higher rpm's for the turbs to kick in. now thats cool/ clever.

Only recently got into golfs. Previously I was into Mini's.

They still hold huge appeal for me.

Anways,  try cutting out the back seats and installing a dirty great big hyabusa motorbike engine (Q car conversion).

I 100% guarantee that you wont catch one unless you were driving something really special.

I have also seen a mini estate on a jeep chassis, it looked like a shrunk down monster truck.

welcome to the world of the strange and bizarre

You reach a point where weight balances with power and you physically can't go any quicker.  With the weight of two VR's you will reach that point very quickly - aka B16 DUB.  It would be better using a more lightweight unit and then ringing the power out of that - like the latest 2.0T or 20vt.  You don't need to do it in a rallye, as having the engine in the front driving the front wheels and the rear driving the rear wheels it would be independent 4wd anyway.  As said above, bike engines would be good - but would be an expensive conversion and small cc big power engines tend to need a lot of maintenance.

Never heard of that one before.  Police and MOT stations never had a problem.

Image has been mirrored and the car is a jetta. Where mk3 came from i have no idea.  :smiley:

the grille/headlights look like those from an older mk3 (grillie shape is same but not colour coded in the older cars)
