Why not just add a jet motor? What's the matter..? Scared?

I want to imagine this as this:

MOM I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THESE DANG CARS RELIABLE

Fixed it.

If it can be done in a MK2 it will surely fit in a TT

you mean like this? well not a ford engine and not a jetta but you get the idea. old pic btw

Eric, it is definitely doable, that's not what everybody is saying. It's the fact that the OP who is "sort of a mechanic" that can't keep a 1.8t running reliably, and is worrying about mommy, think that he can pull it off reliably and cost effectively. I think everybody is just slapping the silliness out of a kid that has no idea of the involvement of such a project.

This is a ridiculous thread, its not gonna happen, and even if it did I would be married and have kids by the time it got done. For the money you could keep the TT, build it to the hilt using the factory setup, and get a used Z06. Tell me that's not a better idea...

I'm not the one wanting to put a small-block V8 in my car and convert it to RWD. I ask a lot of stupid questions and say a lot of stupid ****. I don't do dumb things to/with my car.


The average corvette small block is 575 lbs and I'm sure the 1.8T is around 280-320lbs. I tried finding the weight of the 1.8 liter but couldn't find any info other than the weight of the new 2011 TSFI they came out with (~280lbs). Changing the engine and trans in a car is completely changing what the car is. It will never drive the same but it will look the same. So many wannabe Ferruccio Lamborghinis out there with TTs....



I say if you dont want what the TT has to offer, save yourself a lot of time and money and buy something else.

First problem: Mom is involved.

Second problem: You thinking this can be done reasonably. This points to why Mom is involved. If you actually had the money and means to do this, she wouldn't have any say in the matter.

Third problem: You think the 1.8T is unreliable, which it isn't by any means. Tripling power output of any motor creates limitations. That said, they can be worked around reasonably in the 1.8T.

End result: You're daydreaming.

A drag B5 S4 would be cooler.

That S4 is facking sick!

any one say cut off wheel I don't think this is going any where but you never know

[jedge1.8t]

You should put a LS9 in the front to go fast, 1.8t in the back to be cool, then put a B18 v - tech muffler to be loud. dont forget to get a hamster wheel powering your A/C to save energy and then put giant winged spoiler on the back to help acceleration. but whatever you do, dont forget the flames

Dude you forgot those horsepower gain stickers!

flames have bigger gains then stickers. his money is better spent buying a glowing shift knob. they reduce wrong gear changes by 2.846724%

So this must be like...REALLY ****ING FAST!?




^^Yes that's a gameboy advanced gauge


I'm embarrassed to live in the same town as this guy

Army of One should sue his ass for defamation.

[DougLoBue]

The sad thing is that SRT4 would give most TT's on this forum a run for their money... but only in a straight line

[jedge1.8t]

according to my gameboy im fast, but you could already tell by my flames.
