Crazy VW conversions

[Oneofthegreats]

I don't know really where to put this up, but post of some VW watercooled engine & chassis conversion's.
I'll start

cadillac North star V8



Standard issue Small block chev. Fitted alittle too far forward for my liking



Same again, but fitted alittle more weight bias friendly toward's the rear!







One very out there Jetta. Not sure of the engine combination

[Oneofthegreats]

A high 10 sec mk1 golf 16V auto in full street trim bar a set of slick's.

Has run in the 9's! Not bad for a 010 auto! hahaha








A full chassis Corrado running a VW 2L 16V engine.

Will try & did up some more spec's on this. Very very fast!

Vid's

Can't find to much on the spec's, but it's a RS2 5cyl. 20V fitted to a mk1!




Another from the drag stables.

2L 16V Turbo. 800+hp with mid 7's & high 170-180mph's!

damn mate some cool conversions there, just suprised they didnt put the audi engine in north-south instead like dahlback did with their mk4, or probably way too hard in a mk1 bay

A mk2 Polo with a 3.6L Audi V8!

[velly_16v_cab]

Its good to see people thinking 'outside the box'

Awesome thread.......... Kick ass to see this kind of work!

I cant find it but there was a guy in Croatia that built a Lupo with a 3.2 vr6 in the front and the same in the back. The brakes came from a Tourge and the calipers from a cayan or something. He did it all from home and he can also do a vr6 conversion in only a few hrs.

All i remember is that it was white and the intake runners stuck out of the hood.

Lost 2 hours of my life reading that VR6 Caddy thread.
Awesome stuff. I love the exhaust scenario!

That Audi 5 Cylinder into a Mk1 is interesting. I have read about a company in the states that made a skinny gearbox, to allow enough room for the extra cylinder.

That one looks like the rail in front of the driver has been fettled though.
Imagine trying to change the timing belt!
