help want a transplant cant decide whats best
i have a mk2 8v, its been resprayed silver polybushes interior is mint the only one thing im not happy with is the lack of speed. i want an engine that can give 170+bhp with a few mods i.e rebore,cams,ported/polished head. i will be doin/attemting to change the engine myself, so im thinkin a 1.8t might be a bit to much to take on. so thinkin maybe a tuned mk2 16v engine or an abf but not sure these can give me the power i want. i want 0-60 in high 6secs idealy. i cant find any reference to the amount of power a mk2 needs to get that kinda speed as no one seems to talk about it. i dont want to spend the time and money on the engine and not have the result i want. can anyone give me some advice on this? and which engine is best for a brave but novice diy mechanic to attemp lol.
