Valver power
« on: 05 May 2005, 20:24 »
 :cool: ive got a 1.8 16v engine coming my way, FOR FREE and FREE FITTING

so i gather i might as well spend a bit on the ancilliaries to get it running mint.....

now i need some cheap(ish) ideas of what to get parts wise to rebuild it before i put it in, i wanna try and get a bit more power outta it, is it easy and realistic to get 150bhp outta a valver without spending grands?

oooh going back down to a 1.8 but itl hopefully be cheaper to run than the 8v.....

im all excited  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

errr why will it be a nightmare?

Buy back standard parts for a 16v and take all the mk3 gubbins off. The drive and gearbox are not going to be different as there would be no point in changing all that when a engine transfer is done. Although just check to make sure. Should be a standard swap and drop.

1.8 16v = KR = k-jet = massive conversion job

2.0 16v = ABF = digifant = easy peasey :cool:

a mk2 16v lump would be a total slag to put in. you'd have to change the fuel pump, lines, injection, ignition probably, loose the ecu, and a whole load of other things!

get a ABF lump and  you'll be laughing. 150bhp as standard.
