has anyone attempted a V5 conversion into a Mk1?
i have been talking to a friend who had an idea of putting a V5 into a Mk2.
well seeing as i have a MK1 has anyone done it as i know it would be quite a rare conversion.
Is there a reason why its not common considering it has 170BHp out of the box and then not having to run a cat either surely the potential is there.
Any info would be brilliant.
Thanks guys
John

All things considered, VW came up with a pretty good engine design with the VR6 which meant the traditional barriers to FWD transverse 6 cyl were overcome, and lessened the need for 5 cyls to overcome the approx 2 litre limitation on a 4 cyl (due to smooth running issues, which can also be overcome at the expense of reviness, with a balancer shaft).

You could fit one to be different but for the effort involved youd be better off fitting a vr6 as there are more options for further tuning

Unlessthe engine is stupidly cheap then go with 1.8T, VR6, 16V, G60 etc.
