which engine to use

Post by minehunter »

Good day.
So I am building a MK2 (ORIGIONALLY the gti 1800 84)
Engine out and need something different.
So there is allot of engine codes for the golf 4 engine i'm interested.
There is the AGU / AUM ( only 110 kw = too slow)
AUQ / AWP ( 132 kw = interesting)
Then I wanted to drop in the R32 motor cause I use to own one but the rumour is that you MUST make it all wheel drive. Is this true.
Will this then also apply for the BAM Audi S3 motor (165kw) which I am really interested in now?

Your comments will be mostly appreciated on this matter.

R32 and BAM will both work for a fwd setup as well.

uhm - there was an R32 FWD build on here for the campfest thing last year. You can use just the right VR6 gearbox and have front wheel drive.
BAM motor will bolt to any other of the 4 cyl front wheel drive gearboxes.
