Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[Jay.S]

Don't put all the time and effort in just to put a 1.4 in.

So its currently got a polo engine and you want to swap it for a polo engine, not very imaginative is it. It's also not really doing your own thing your just sort of copying and using it as a exercise to detach your ex from the car. All IMO of course.

Just go 1.8T like I linked earlier will be awesome.

1.4 TSi from a Golf GT?

 

[Mr R.]

I had a MK2 GTI 8v, bought a 2.0l 16V 9a engine and gearbox out of a Corrado that had been hit in the rear. I had to convert the Corrado gearbox from hydraulic to cable clutch which was easy enough.

I then had to buy the fuel pump, metering head unit and inlet from the MK2 golf GTI 16V. The 9A engine is a short stroke where as the 2.0l 16v out of the MK3 Golf is a tall block.

VR6 engines are to heavy and not that much power, if i ever was to to buy another MK2 golf i would go 20v turbo.

Cracking cars, have a big soft spot for Golfs.

Pretty much spot! Did you stick with 9a cam? Or go for the KR? I would go with a KR cams. I keep looking at 20vT mk2s there is a nice pearl gray one I have seen for sale!

 

[Mr R.]

I did have one of the 1.8 16v cams fitted but i dont remember which one, i only had one because i got told that the other was the same???

Anyway, my old car.

 

[Crybert]

Damn I love this sort of thing. I wouldn't have a clue where to start and that's the whole point in a project like this. Starting from the bottom and coming out the other side with a peach of a motor!

 

[Scrooge]

PD150, sounds better than most of the vag petrol a with a straight through exhaust.

 

[Jekyll]

I say again Hayabusa turbo?

I've been out in HR engineering's MK1 golf van running a busa turbo and de dion rear wheel drive axle a few times. It was silly quick!

 

[Chip-mk1]

So you want to take a 1.4 8v out, to replace it with a 1.4 8v so that its different?

 

[Laura]

i have a 1.3 8b in, i want a 1.4 16v

 

[Chip-mk1]

[Laura]

[welshname]

[Mr R.]

[Laura]

[Mr R.]

sold the BBS a couple of years ago now.

Not one of your better ideas.

Any plan's for another set or another make of wheel?

 

[Laura]

They looked silly from any angle other than straight on. No plans for wheels right now just want to get it up and running again

Fair play.

 

[RenMatt]

Just read this from the start and reminded me of my Renault 8 lol ,Wheels for that were a nightmare but the same firm may be able to help you . Try looking on image wheels .

 

[Jay.S]

If you ever want to sell let me know.
