Engine overhaul

Post by v_dub_boi »

hey Vw ppl!!!
I am drivn a j3 clx carb vesrions with 385000km on the clock!!!!! :D yes it is driving believe me or not! :D Obviously need an engine overhaul but not sure wot i can do. was thinkin of fiting a mk3 cli unit to it but i think it is goin 2 b costly as i need to buy the engn and a fuel tank and a ecu! Is there any1 that can give me a few ideas with the overhaul or replacement unit at a reasonable price. atleast want to walk away with 100 kw 4 now :P this is enuf as the car weighs 1080kg giving me a power to weight in the region of 92 very close to a vr6(standard). obviously all improvements cum with a downfall in fuel usage :cry: . do u guys think that the 100kw would be achievable without a turbo? any comments can be fwd to me on saaiersa@webmail.co.za
