Purists? soooooooooo I will be slated for not doing the (yaaaawwwwn) 1.8T/2L 16v/vr6/g60 etc conversions?
Yaaaawwwwwwwn er no mate you have just listed 4 swaps that all have different potentials in power. Theres more vw engines than that too to look at what may not have been done, why stick a Jap motor in it? however your car do what you want give it a go.
It dunt fit

I've owned a Honda, Ive build a 190WHP B series engine, I've now broken the car as I've bought a house and needed the money for other things and now I've gotten the engine spare.
I am a big fan of the reliability of the B series motor and its rev happyness hence the idea of this conversion an fuck it i want to be different

Great engines, good power, better weight distribution for a rhd car to. (box is on other side)
Remember abf only 160bhp………

Everyone has likes and dislikes.
It's your car so do what you like with it.
There's been all sorts of stuff done. Scooby engines, Hyabusi, fitted etc.
If I had the fabbing skills and the workshop space, money and another Mk1 Cabby I would put something ridiculous in it, just because I could and have a killer, sleeper cabby.
I saw a youtube video where these blokes were having a bit of a tear up, think one was a porker, along came this MK1, left em for dead.Lord knows what was under the bonnet. Found it…
- YouTube
Another one I watched was a UK vid ..frighteningly fast..Oh the look on the others faces was priceless..
If you do a build thread I will subscribe…..

If I wanted a 200 bhp VTEC I'd buy an integra or s2000
I would also want fully independent rear suspension, the mk1 golf is beam. All the extra power in a not so good / older chassis.
While abf may only be 150bhp standard there is no VTEC but peak power from 4200rpm (ish) not 6800 in a VTEC.
Now I'm not saying it wouldnt be quick, yes it would be immense and I would love to have a blast in it. but I prefer a mk1 with a tweaked abf or 20vt. Defeats the object putting in an engine with 200bhp from standard.
Of course only my opinions and it's not my car!
Yes I would be checking out a build thread if it were to come about!
Happy researching/ building etc etc

:dontknow:
Is the object spending a load of cash on a abf?
20vt is different, although the mk1 was never designed to run this engine either.
For n/a power and the money involved its a good choice if you don't want a vag engine.
If you didn't want 200bhp (I'm not sure why after all this effort ) , you could always run the 1600 16v engines, (from crx etc) about 130bhp.
