Matt's £200 Golf GTi 16v

[Acidburn]

Pop an Audi 80 16v motor in it, engine = 150 quid, bosh it together with the 1.8 engine parts and wham bam 170bhp. Thats what ive done. Doesnt seem alot but strip it out and sort the suspension and it'll keep up with a chipped s2 and handle like a kart

links to any threads about this conversion?

Ive got PDF on my work PC detailing what parts need to be changed between the mk2 engine and the 80 engine in order for it to just drop in. I'll try and find it tomorrow.

Had some spare time today so decided to give the old girl a bit of a clean.

Just got some temporary insurance on it and booked it in with Jase at the Lion garage for it's MOT.

Better stock up on failure forms then........

Done this a couple of times with 6a 2.0 corrado's. stock bottom end with kr cam (from the 1.8 16v) decent exhaust and set up properly and youre easily looking at 170bhp. The one i had i my in my mk1 was putting out 176bhp but that was with a mild head home brew head port

Basically the 2.0 engine block from the audi coupe/80 (6a or ACE) is almost identical to the KR engine from the Golf. Except for the bulges on the side for clearance for the longer stroke crank (hence nickname 'bubble block') the bore is also increased in size. The cams in the audi's are very tame (perhaps to reduce emissions or save the cats)
For this reason the standard 2.0 16v produces very similar power to the 1.8 16v (both just under 140bhp). Using the Cams from the 1.8 KR engine will up the power to about 160bhp (combined with a decent exhaust system) and if you use a 50mm diameter Inlet manifold (from the later mk2 16v) you will sacrifice a small amount of low end grunt but will see 170bhp. Bear in mind that when the engines are changed the K-Jet Metering head fueling will have to be adjusted and the WUR 'warm up regulator' should also be modified so that the engine does not run too lean at the top end and pink under loading. Stealth racing are the chaps that can help out with this!

The engine from the corrado, is that not a 9a engine code? Same block again i think... So to add to the other post you can use a 6a engine (audi 80) ACE engine (later audi coupe) 9a engine?? (corrado, less to change as already transverse)
You can also use the ABF engine from the mk3 but this engine block is 15mm taller and so requires exhaust spacers or special manifold, can also rub on the bonnet sometimes.

Not bad for £200

I've put a 6a in mine too, you need to swap all the engine mount and ancillery brackets over from the KR, swivel the oil filter housing and fit your K-Jet bits to it and you're good to go!

There's a bit about it about half way through my build here

Nice buy Matt! Make sure its ready for April :mischeif:

Bodgers like that should be strung up... and scotchloks should be banned...

Too true. Removing them all from my wiring loom has removed all manner of electrical faults.

Love these, got his mill in my caddy, bored to 1900 and ported. It a flying machine and revs for ever! Love the Mk2 shape too, looks like some cheap fun for the summer.

[Fat Audi 80]

Jealous. I want another one.

Glad to see you two enjoying getting down and dirty again.

Cheers,

Fatty.

They are good the old golfs had a mark one and two but i am pretty sure the s2s are far far better. just saying this as soon its going to be the s2 gti forum.

I miss my Mk2, I want another one with a 1.8t
