I'm picking my 84 Bunny tomorrow! It has a 16v swapped in it now but I'm looking VR6. Please provide all the details on your swap, or better yet just sell it to me!
hey guys i am looking in buying an older rabbit and im thinking of an 81,84 bunny can someone help me with the choice i like both of the looks of them but can anyone tell me the pros and cons of both or just help in anyway possible?
Putting together the components for my engine swap. '83 VeeDub cabrio, soon to have a VR6, likely with a Garret turbo setup. Hoping for over 375hp, depends on my budget. Now THAT'S Fahrvergnügen.
you guys are idiot, you talking about VW and you dont know nothing... VR6 12v??? IDIOT!!! every VR6 have 24v... and Vr6 is a great engine... sorry for bad english..
@GOLFISTDE R-U retarded? I own a 12v vr6, 92' corrado slc with the o.b.d numero uno twelve valve vr6 motor. Mabye you should light your face on fire...ASS! At least know what you are talking about before you spout off like you've actually ever been out of your mom's basement.
I don't know much about rabbits (the car) but a want one that is an 80's make. But I cant get one if its a clutch. could you tell me if it is ahich rabbit cars arent clutches?
no way that car was turbo'd. there was no turbo under the hood and he would spin effortlessly through 4th gear with a turbo'd rabbit. i spin through third in my 98 gti vrt
Hey guy, sweet setup. Can I ask a question totally irrelavent to your car but I assume you are a true VW Fan. I do not believe the 83 VW rabbit had a turbo diesel engine option available, just a regular diesel. Am I correct or was there and TD option? Thanks AJ
A lot of fabrication. You'd need: custom motor mounts, different rad/ fans, mk2 manual rack, machined strut mount tab, Vr6 knuckles, shortened driver's axle (for 5-lug), ECU and complete electrical harness, clutch master, brake booster, vr6 motor, O2A trans, shifter linkage + shifter, pedal cluster, high spring rate suspension, and then reinforcing the frame to handle that much torque
and no, the shot of that engine bay does not have a turbo in it, he added it soon after shooting this. He had to cut up the front of the car to accommodate the enormous FMIC
hiya can u tell me ,who u fitted the vr6 in a mk1 ,e.g what engine cradle ,mounts etc , as ive got a vr6 turbo sat here ,and think it may go ok in a mk1 golf ,top motor all the best
Very good, Sounds mint, altho I wouldn't have put the ABS in, Im taking it out of my VR, Gets me in more troble that helping, Long braking distance, Get a rotrex in there
Thats this sickest thing Ive seen as far as Vr6 conversions! I would be scared shitless to take a turn in that thing while mobbing tho, better suited as a drag car.
i have a 1984 rabbit. its in pretty mint shape. 100% orig. i'm actually looking at doing a full VR6 swap. do you need to swap in a computer aswell? is it alot of work to do the swap?
how can you drive that, i always thought a vr was a little to heavy for any mk I, but if not and everything is fine bump it up to a 2.8l or 3.2l 24v vr6 haha
the rabbits are great, i have one 82 diesel ,i spend $25 dls per month, i live in mexico and diesel is sheaper but it still been very good performance.
I also had a powder blue 1980 and an 86 black cabriolet. I drove that car for 2 years with a bad head gasket, becuase thats how I purchased it and it still commuted 80 miles a day with only a slight overheat.
I had many rabbits. My fave was the 83 silver GTI. I never got tired of that car and it never got tired of me. I also had an orange 1975 which was first year on the market. I seen a 2 door one not long ago. That year is perfect to strip down and redo if you find one that is on its last legs.
Great cars those Rabbits. Reminds me of the time in a diesel Rabbit when we chased a GTI hauling ass on the 10 freeway in El Monte. Kept him in sight until GTI exited in West L.A. . WOW what a day that was!!!!!!!
I'm building a vr6 rabbit right now, you're a retard, you would'nt have the skill to do a swap of that magnitude, I doubt you could even wipe your own ass you fucking idiot!
nice, i remember the vr rabbit that RPI built alittle over a decade ago. i like this better cause its a sleeper and you definately put some work into it with ABS and five bolt, very cool

You my friend don't know shit about vw,there are 12v,24 and 32 valve 6 cylinder engines...go read a book then come and comment.
rhoads89 1 year ago
@rhoads89 There is no 32 valve vr6, How do you get 32 valves in a 6 cyl engine? The math does not add up
There are the following
2.8 12v
2.9 12v (Europe)
2.8 24v
3.2 24v
3.6 24v

@rhoads89 what a moron, how do you devide 32 by 6? the most valve that was ever putted in a 6 cyl. was the 2.8 and 3.0 from audi, 30 valves
