Ghostrider 0 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Does anyone know what the difference between a 1995 VR6 engine and a 1999 (Like Block, head stuff like that. Basically could I use a 1995 generation engine in a 1999-2000 car) :? Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 is it for a conversion? anything is swapable if you have all the right bits! depends what you are wanting to achieve!! if your putting a 1995 engine in a later mk4 golf then i would say no, it wont be straight forward!

matth76 1 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 The compression ratio with the head is different - the mark 3 has a lower compression due to a slightly thicker head gasket. However it is weaker than the later mark 4 head gaskets. The ECU will need replacing too with the ecu from the mark 3 and possibly some of the wiring loom. All depends on which engine you are after.Why do you need to put an older engine in a new car? I assume it's because the engine you've chosen has more power? If you are after a V6 engine go for the 24v v6 lump from the V6 "4-Motion". It is more likely to be compatible with your car, more so than a mark 3 lump. Link to post Share on other sites
