joshATR 0 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hey all, I've exhausted the search function with no luck with this question - I guess it's not a very common one for obvious reasons. I'm currently building a MK4 Golf to compete in a grass roots motorsport series in Europe - there are engine capacity restrictions that would prohibit the 2.8 V6 from being able to be used, however I can use the 2.3 V5 + forced induction and I would like to have the 4Motion system active still. Does anyone have any idea on what the differences is are with engine mounts on the V5 to the V6? if it would be a straight fit mount wise or if not - what would be required? Also from what I've seen the gearbox from the V6 should bolt right up without an adaptor plate? Hopefully someone has something useful to contribute Link to post Share on other sites
mks2310 10 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I've did the v5 to v6 swap. Only thing different was clutch size and exhaust size. Plug and play with ecu coded to the car Link to post Share on other sites
joshATR 0 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ok great, so backwards compatibility should be fine in that case.. V5 should go into V6 4mo with no big issues I guess. It'll be using a standalone ECU. Link to post Share on other sites
Seb27 0 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi guys I’ve bought a vw bora 2.3 v5 recently and I want to put in 4motion system from v6… so 6 speed gearbox and transfer box prop shaft and rear axle from mk4 golf… was wondering if anyone did that and how all fits in?
