Thinking aloud here, because I'm not that familiar with KRs, but AFAIK...

-No crank position sensor
-No knock sensors
-Different injectors (seats can probably be swapped about tho)

it can all be bolted up in theory,   use polo cranck sensor that goes behind flywheel, find hles for knock sensors and use abf inlet,   easy

lol so it can b done then?????

so cant i use the crank sensor off the abf engine then????

is that all there is to it.

just that i was thinking that there the same and only different was one is a 1.8 and the other is a 2.0 ok i cant use the 2.0 head as the cams would be different.

take it i would need to use the 1.8 injectors to???????

No, you bolt on the ABF inlet and injector rail.

Because of the way the ABF management works it'll probably cope with a loss of 200cc, although it seems foolish to waste good management on a 1.8 motor....

Thanks for sharing the load.

Are you getting the 1.8 free?

Otherwise why go for the retrogarde step of getting a 1.8 to run ABF management? Just buy an ABF, you might even get a free SEAT bolted to it.

in the grand scheme of things it's false economy putting a kr block in there esp if it had done a headgsket  that the normal excuse to remove them

Post by: barnysGTI on 15 July 2010, 13:03
yeah it would but still no body knows this and it may not be anything special or worse than a normal 1.8???????

Post by: Diamond Hell on 15 July 2010, 14:50
The management should provide more power, on the basis there isn't a sodding gurt plate in the way of the intake and that it knows far better what it's doing with the mixture and spark.

Crack on.

Post by: Neo Badness on 15 July 2010, 16:28
KR would require the same work as you outlined with the ABF but with the added faff of having to get the headgasket done.
Then you need to figure out how you are going to run KR on your existing ABF management.
You are posing the question is it possible to fit a KR with ABF management? Yes.
Is it pointful to fit a KR with ABF management? No.

You'll just end up pulling it out in a few months anyway or trying to sell it on with a bodged hybrid KR/ABF

 TBH honest, to me, it's a no brainer wait for an ABF.

Or if you insist, I can sell you my 115k KR with a brand new VAG waterpump/ cambelt + all the other important new bits for 300.00 :grin:
