.engine 3 mount points drivers side rear passages gearbox mount front gearbox/engine mount which will be cut from vr6 sub frame then welded to scriocco and extra metal the make stronger as well as the front scirocco beam mounting point

. 100mm drive shafts

16v golf disc rear scirocco 16v handbrake cables master cylinder from mk2 golf 16v
.make exhaust system 2.5in singe tail pipe 2 boxes
.cooling passat rad ?
. unit oil cooler unit ?
.fit wiring from the vr6 golf to scirocco i fit the full loom same as done to the mk 1g60

Mounting and drilling for cable change box.
Passat twin fan rad fits nice n snug under the front slam panel. That will give ya space for extra pipe work

are they the same ones that said you cant build a 2.1 or 2.3 16v engine or the ones that say that a 16v will not run on twin carbs

or the different one that say a 1.9 16v turbo will not run on a g60 ecu set and you cant get it to run 278bhp at the wheels and do 140 plus in a mk1




vr6 is about the same as a tdi set up and they say that a tdi is ok in a mk1


well i had 16v 8v g60 of all types of power I always build them myself when person say it will not work just to say it will work
the mk1 before the 16vt was running 14sec 1/4miles with big over sized wheels (17in) and they stop mk1 handling
when Tim run TSR he said to me why my mk1 scirocco run so well so it was build right with the best quality parts set up fitted to the car(wanted to pay me to go out and racer them again as it looked good for there business)

think Ryan was at castle combe that day as the sciroccoworld stand had my mk1 on they don't like the way it was mod but after the track time and have people all over the stand as to why a mk1 goes and stopped as quick when its as wrong looking Plus the marshall said it was fun to see a track day car people pissed off my a boy racers car lol

they said the same when i run a rs turbo escort van out there and was 4 wheel drifting :pilot: at the end of the day

its your car and you mod it the way you like it i just love making a car go better then it should

You can make just about anything work. Its having the balls, know how, time, cash, and an understanding other half....if you have those, then you can acheive anything.

one guy that said to me that vr's are heavy in roccos has a 2.1 16v.

but yes im sure its a a awasome conversion to do, a charged one will be great. i know a bloke from york with a vento vr6 thats been supercharged, you can here the charger from miles away :)

i would love one as a drag strip car :hugegrin:

at the moment im thinking 20v 5v? people dont really seam to use them much and 170bhp and over 200 torques standard :hugegrin:
makes me think it will be a good conversion????

would you be going down the route of new mounts and strengthening the legs, or a modified subframe from a mk3?

i read theres a company called eurowise who make all the mounts and drivehsafts so it becomes a "plug and play" swap with regards to engine mounting. pricey mind, but comes with driveshafts etc.
