Title: MK3 16v into MK2
Post by: G60dub on 11 July 2004, 11:49

Has anyone put a mk3 16v engine into a mk2. I have digi fuel system and don't fancy coverting it to k-jet just to get benefits of the 16v.

Do you think this would work well? Any tips?


Cheers

don`t bother mate, if you do all the work to get it in what are you going to gain?

a common engine conversion in the mk2 is a 2.0 16v engine from a passat or a corrado,

9a block i think.
there worth doing ;)

not sure about the mk3 16 valve engine tho :-\

whats the point?

the 1.8 is rated at 139 against the 2.0 at 150. you can easily get the extra 11bhp with a bit of thought rather than a whole lot of hassle changing engines.

The ABF engine is far more tunable than the KR.
But it will be hassle to fit it, go for the 9A out of a passat/corrado.
