Hi
What 2L engine do i need to be looking for and out of which car to fit the top end of my GTI 1.8 8v PB Engine?
Thanks in advance...
Knobby!!!

For the 16v I know you can use a few but the best one to get is a 9A. Not sure if its the same for an 8v. Somebody on here will know.
-
We;ve just bought this to go in my 8v :smiley:

-

not a stupid distance away either :)
-
Yeah I know, bit miffed to be honest cos it was on Egay the week before and didnt sell for 12.99 :laugh: we couldnt decide then, and then I went into nagging mode :rolleyes: :laugh:
-
You got a bargain there.. apparently its a 2L ADY Engine i require from a Mk3 Golf. Where am i gonna get one from..
ummm

i got a 2e engine waiting in the shed to be fitted to mine 2 lol
-
Hey...
ive been told the 2e is the wrong engine for mine.. as u require different pistons as its got a longer head.. the ADY has a shorted head.
Ummm
Knobby!

there u go dudes.. all you need to know.
-
i was told to use the 2e and the mk 2 head??
hope i havent got it wrong lol, i know there are four or five engines that will fit
-
You could try these people for mk3 engines www.audivwparts.co.uk. They have always been good to me in the past.
-
just out of curiosity what kind of gains are we taking about here, and would boring it out to 2.1 be possible with having to change the pistions etc
-
hp wouldnt significantly change... but the torque figure would, the 2.0l does give much more of a pulling sensation and mated to a pb head and p&p and cam you have a great engine
-
ouch, there goes my forum cherry...good to finally join the noise!
yep, bigger bottoms are the way forward...just bought an entire 1990 Passat 2.0 GL on the bay for a whopping 99 quid! :laugh:
Head gasket is gone, but so will the rest of the car once its 9a block is in my '89 16v...i will do a rolling road test once she runs again to see what figures this cheapo weekend swap gets:
165k KR Head, 50mm inlets, KJet fueling
2.0l 9a block
oem exhaust/air filter
Passat has 150k on clock...my valver has done 165k so everything should be nice and sloppy too..!
Any other advice guys n gals?
-
Woops, have just counted the number of valves on my 16v, came up with sixteen...doh! This post says '8v'... :rolleyes:
-
Go on.. keep thrashing the t!t's off ya 16v to make her go fast.... :shocked:

Boring out to a 2.1 is really only possible from a 2L block. Not straight up from a 1.8L, mines been done from a 1.8 up to 2.0 and increased power by just shy of 50bhp, and increased torque by just under 50lb/ft too. I really need to look into getting more torque out of mine would be good to get it up to about the 180ib/ft mark.
-
hi all,
isn't the 2.2L the same block just a bigger bore?
so for more power could this be fitted just as easily??
