please help

i need help on deciding which engine to go for and please share your pros and cons of the conversions

original 1.8gti engine but highly tuned
1.8 kr 16v
mk3 gti 2.0 16v
or a few of my mates think i should go for a 2.9 vr6

please tell me wot you think

dont go for the vr6 have heard bad things about the head cracking on em!!

well in my opion either keep original go 2ltr16v (cheaper upgrqade) or 1.8t these are the best driveable and value for money swaps

depends how much money you got and what u use the car for

Depends what you want. VR6 would mean major engineering (ie, expensive). 2.0 16V seems best option out of your list. I've heard that big valve heads really release the power in these engines. Everyone is going 1.8 turbo nowadays though. Best route for mega-power but you'll still need help unless you're good with electrics !

i dont want 20 v turbo as everybody has it were as i already have the throttle bodies what about the non turbo 30v from the mk4 gti on throttle bodies dont know how it would go but should sound pretty nutty  and dont know about tuning parts available :dontknow:

2.0 16v

easy, cheap, 150 bhp standard with scope to go much further, :wink:
the conversion is almost as if the engine was designed to be put i the mk1 from factory. everything just bolts up, if ur good with mechanics u can do it urself…

bad bit? dunno if its best to go for the 8v or 16v gearbox, mines on the 8v box and seems fine.
