Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Anyone know how much a garage would likely charge to do this? thinking of a project buying a cheapo mk2 gti and then a VR6 from a ford galaxy and banging it in Link to post Share on other sites

Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I have trouble changing my socks, let alone an engine conversion!!!waiting replies from Stealth racing and Storm now Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 there are a few people on here who will do it for you. thre local chap to myself is Sparkz. . . pm sparkz and he will give you a price i am sure.... Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 okay cheers matey, will wait to hear off stealth and storm then PM sparkz to see what he says,At the moment I can get a MK2 gti for £350, a VR6 engine for £350 plus im guessing another £300 for extra ancilaries i would need, plus fitting.If i can get it all done for under £1500 then i'll be dead chuffed. can concentrate on handling and styling before going back to up the power!

J5KE F 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 2 - 2.5k would be a more realistic budget, people reakon ur better off to have a vr6 and a mk2 as the parts needed will be available as and when. also labour time will be greatly reduced..I have a decent mk2 shell with brakes and shocks for sale, until recently had a r32 lump in front..?

Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Just read a build thread about putting an S2 engine into a MK2, looked pretty tricky, but the guy made so many modifications it was literary a MK2 sheel and steering rack!!!Hmm RS4 engine perhaps? dont know if its ever been done or how possible it is, but i can get the engine/gearbox/both diffs/ancileries all for £4k Link to post Share on other sites
