Advice for an engine swap.. (=

[Morena]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the tuning world, but I just have one question. I've been doing some research but I couldn't seem to find the answer to what I'm looking for. So this is my question: Is it possible to do an engine swap from an R32 to a 2.0? I've heard that a VR6 is a less-expensive/reliable route for an engine swap, but I'm curious to know about an R32.

If you could help me out, that would be great. (=
Hope everyone is well!

how much time and money do you have?

hpa does the swap, but it starts at $30k plus.

The R32 is a VR6. A 3.2L 24V VR6. When you say R32 into a NB most would assume that you are changing out the entire floorpan and suspension so you can have the all wheel drive from the R32 Golf. You could swap in an earlier 2.8L VR6 and super or turbocharge it. 350+HP is easily attainable and a Peloquin or Quaife limited slip differential would do a decent job getting the power to the ground in a front wheel drive format. That would prolly cost around 1/4th or less of a full R32 swap.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah. Transplanting an R32 into a NB/NBC would be a huge project.
