Post by: 1 Lp on 10 August 2005, 21:02

wat do you need to convert a 1.8 8v lump to a 2L 8v?? I've heard you need the bottom end out of a audio 80. also wat problems can regularly happen with this conversion

LOL... Like it.  :cool:

Ok.. if you got a PB 1.8 8v engine at the mo... I believe you need a Mk3 ADY engine from golf or vento. think there are a few others which are compatitble also but think the ADY is the best match.

i'll be fitting it soon.. i'll let  u know how i get on...

Add me to messenger if u like!

i've done this twice now, both times with a mk3 2E engine, if you get the block with the dizzy, this wires straight in with the digifant electrics. it fits in with all the mk2 engine mounts although i got new ones all round, you need to use the mk3 timing belt, i used the mk3 16v headgasket(metal) the headbolts etc from the mk2, ive used a tsr head on mine but it all was a pb engine to start with, everything else just bolts up, was really simple, took 2days without any engine cranes etc. plus my exhaust cleared without any probs, the only mods i had to do was to bend the wiper tray up a little coz its a tall block, if you need any more help, just pm..... good luck

I think thats the difference with the ADY... i think the ADY has the same block size as the PB.. its just a 2L.. you please with the power increase?

Worth the trouble?
