ThermalP4 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi Guys.When it comes to dropping a VR lump in either a MK2 Golf or Jetta what exactly is needed apart from the obvious VR engine/loom/ECU etc?I'm assuming you'd need different engine mounts/brakes/servo etc?

ashmk3 0 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 As tony said it would be easier to find a cheap doner car, as you will need the subframe, and mounts I you can find one a mk2vr6 solid front mount off mk2vr6.com. Passat or corrado pedal box for hydraulic clutch unless you go cable conversion. Also need clutch master cylinder, from a corrado or passat. I have used my original mk2 8v servo and made a take off for the clutch. Brakes wise depends on if your going wide track ie 5stud and using all the mk3 running gear. If so may as well go the whole hog and do 312mm brakes. But only 15" wheels that we know fit are compositor mo5s. You can use the lighting loom from the mk2 and the radiator loom if your obd1 as the plugs are the same. If your ce1 then you'll need to convert to ce2 hope this helps a little. Theres a couple of us on here that have just done a mk2 vr6 and I have too. So any questions just ask. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Think you got most of it. Definitely get a corrado for all the bits Link to post Share on other sites
