Wiggy 0 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi, new to the forum, hoping someone can help me out, purchased a mk2 golf with vr6 conversion already done. What would I need apart from the obvious (engine) to covert from the vr6 to r32? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Philly-R6 28 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi Wiggy and welcome! You would probably have to do just as much work as any other engine transplant as not a lot is compatible with where you are starting from. The Mk2 / Mk3 and Corrado have the "CE2" fusebox under the dash by your feet, but the Mk4 and Mk5 are different wiring systems, so there is a bit of work adapting the engine wiring and other bits to match the car you have (unless you convert the whole car to Mk4/5 wiring?). The ECU and engine electronics are a lot different from that in your car, as the systems are developed over time. For example; the R32 engine wants 4 Lambda sensors and the VR6 engine requires one. Then the ECU needs the immobiliser setup (or deleted). You may be best looking for a complete donor car - if you have the space to store it. Its all do-able but a fair bit of work. Good luck with whatever you decide - just don't underestimate the effort, money and time these things demand. Have fun! Wiggy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Wiggy 0 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Thank you and thanks for the insight!It’s a project car and doesn’t matter if it takes me a few years to get sorted as there’s many more things that need sorting along the way too. Il keep looking into it, but that has really helped out! Link to post Share on other sites
