A 12v V6 shoould fit if its a 60 degree one. It already has one of those in.
Which car do i pinch one from?
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
By that time, who cares.
You're a mile away, and you've got his shoes

Hi there. I don't know how far you've got with this but I fitted a 1.8t and transaxle out of a Passatt into my Midtec last winter.
I've got a zetec turbo and un1 transaxle in mine and my thinking was that I could sell these and still be quids in with the audi conversion.
Turns out that there's not much in it really especially once you start pushing the power output.
Anyway, my point is that the combo fits quite well, probably better than my zetec and the transaxle is much more compact than the Renault one.
I'd thought about the V8 too but I think it would be too long, VAG V6 is quite heavy, Subaru package is too wide
The challenges with the 1.8 are the extra bits such as a charge cooler or inter cooler (normal inter cooler might not fit as you can't have it
at the front), if using the VAG ecu you'll need the fly by wire accelerator pedal, gear change etc.
If I was doing my conversion again though, I'd definitely use the VAG 1.8t package.
Don't discount a zetec on motorbike carbs or TB's as it will fit into your Renault ng3 transaxle and be a lot simpler. It should still be
pushing 170+hp too which is probably the sweet spot.

The vag 1.8 turbo units are very good engines. I had my 1.8t A6 tuned at jabbasport a few years ago. Went from the standard 150 hp to 230hp with just
a rolling road remap and a steel valve to handle the increased boost.
The mechanic reckoned the 1.8t engines are good for up to 350hp without internal mods

Very tuneable engines. Output is dependant on which turbo is fitted, k03, k03s or k04. I think the k04's were fitted on the S3 and cupra R and
these will go up to about 250 before they're maxed out but the engine will take more on standard internals.
I have an Audi S3 and it's a great engine 😀
