Possible gearing issues aside, and not to side track too far, but what about a Mk3 VR6 OBD1 harness/ECU, transmission brain, automatic transmission into a 12V VR6 EV or just use the entire OBD1 Mk3 VR6 stuff into a 5 cyl. automatic EV? IIRC, in other on NA markets, some EV's c/w a 4 cyl. and manual transmission so I *think* the manual transmission in some NA EV's have the bolt holes for the 4 cylinder. A 1.8T in an EV might be pretty rockin. Neil.
