OEM+ Coupe 16v (1.8t on the way)

[bikerjim]

Hey bikerjim.
Could you take some pictures and tell where you have placed the air filter?
I see that the swap a lot of work, time and all you do accurately.
Good luck.

Yeah no worries. I just noticed some of the photo links were broken. (fixed now, if there are any more let me know.)

Im using an ABY airbox, fits in the standard location as long as you have the covers for the back of the light. Here is a previous pic, can get more if you need?!

Do you have the info for the wiring and what needs to be done to wire one into the car? I have got a daily driver 1.8t now

Okay, enough is enough. In previous photographs I could see walking down the pipe somewhere in the lamp and I thought maybe somewhere in the dash or under the stringer you have an air filter tucked away. Now everything is clear. Thanks.

Any more updates fella? what you been up to with this?

[bikerjim]

God, seems I haven't updated this in a while. Been so busy with work and life, just not had time for updates. Good news is things have been progressing though.

I have the T28 on and all is running well on a standard ECU for the moment. Got the interior sorted out, lovely full recaro leather guess I will have to put some pics up to prove it lol.

Took it up to automark to get a remap but it seams I rebuilt the engine too well The compression results were a little higher than he would of hoped. He has advised me to fit a water injection kit and change the plugs. I'm half way through the water injection kit install and hoping to get it mapped in next couple of months. Sorry for the lack of pics and updates, i'll get this sorted soon.

kudos to you, sounds like you have built a good motor there! yup, need pics and maybe a couple of cheeky videos :-)

whats it feel like with the T28? I considered going down that route but am still toying between that and a K04-1 - what to do...

What are the benefits of water injection mate?

hows it going jim? mine made 274.5bhp and 310ftlb today, still no map just 1bar of boost

Hey there, first of all: great project!


I have a question.

Sorry for my bad english, Im from Germany. I didnt understand your sentence:

Its about your engine Mount

To mount the engine I used the standard mount from the 16v on the nearside, and the off side is off the 1.8 ADR cabriolet (8A0 199 308 J) Bolts right up

Is this correct what I draw in the picture? (Sorry saltinot for ruining your awesome RS2 )


Thanks for your help.

cheers

[bikerjim]

Hello Roma,

Yes your drawing is correct. Are you doing a conversion too?

[[RX]Roma]

Hey, thanks for your answer!

Yes, Im doing actually also an 1.8t engine swap, but in a B3 chassis. Ill open a project corner soon


Ill weld the B4 bodywork mount on my B3 chassis to use the (ADR/16V Mounts)

This is handy to know.
Hoping a 1.8t swap is on for this year! I miss boost so much!
