vr6 mk2 golf

hey, has anyone fitted a vr6 from a rado in to a mk2 golf??? if i got say a got a rado vr6 wat else would i need to get to make it fit my golf??? is the main question.
and any advice/help on fitting it.

Do a search on Edition38 forum, its been done many times, and creates a beast!

You need mounts, axles, gearbox, ecu and loom I think, its easy enough if you know your way round an engine and a toolbox.

So I take it this is the fix for the headgasket?

Liking your style!

A lot of people now fit the 1.8T engine as it is lighter and meant to be slightly smaller but the VR6 engine is so lovely so do the research and give it a go.

always been planning some sort of engine swap, and well car broke and a vr6 has come up on the old raidar! so put two and two together and u get a beast as you said.
iv read like all the posts on e38 about people doing the engines on mk2's, some people love them some people hate them. seams to me that people that do the suspenison right seam to love it, i think that it the hardest bit to do.

if you have a digipant gti with the hazzard warning switch on the steering colum then the vr6 engine loom will plug and play with your fuse box

plag and play is all ways a good thing to hear!!!! does the raddo hav a hydro clutch??? just thinking gearbox problems nows!!!
off out to clear a bank of moneys for this car !!!!
i need the car working so if it means just fixing this engine on the cheap to get it runnnig then, swap after i come back from newquay in july.
been looking on e38 but no really big details on there, will end up posting on there laters asking for better details.

I have a working 8v GTi lump you can borrow, it has been sitting for a year though....
You could dump that in for now and start saving.

hey thanks calimori, been specking to john at gsf, and well hes got us a couple of things to check first, and well ill see wats wrong with the 8v if its the gasket then may just fix it he gave us a price today so know ruff wat its going to cost so may just do that and then do the conersion when im not in a rush!!! which is always a gd idea! tanks for the help everyone and i will still keep this going so if anyone needs to know anymore about doing this to their car they can find out heres

We want pictures...

well when i start working i will get some up just need to find all the right parts

Dude i think you have to buy engine mount adapters which are not cheap... try also the vr6 owners club website there,s a section there devoted to mk2 vr,s.... here,s a link hope this helps... http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum.php
