Greetings fellow dubbers!!!
OK I'm new to this forum malarkey but it seems like fun!!!
I'm currently getting myself ready for a 16v conversion on my mk1 golf, so far i have a 1.9 engine and a stage 1 head, I'm going to be using a scirocco 16v inlet manifold and I'm getting most of the other parts needed at the weekend off a mk2 golf
these are the bits I'm collecting at the weekend:-
Fuel System
Metering head/fuel distributor Fuel Injectors with fuel lines
Engine Electrics
Ecu & loom & sensors (knock sensor etc..)
Distributor & ignition leads & coil
Engine Ancillaries
Starter Motor/solenoid & fittings
Alternator & fittings
Brakes (entire front system)
Servo & master cylinder
hubs/bearing/carriers/calipers/pads
Others
Gearbox
Exhaust manifold & downpipe
Water pipes/hoses
oil breathers/vacuum lines etc..
I'm going to do a bodge job on the exhaust, using the mk2 manifold I'm hoping the mk2 downpipe will mate up to my mk1's pipe without too much hassle, has anyone else tried this???, I'll be turboing the beast later, early next year maybe so i cant see the point in buying a 4branch.
If anyone knows of anything I've missed off in this lot or has any words of wisdom I'd be extremely grateful, I'll also be happy to share my experiences when its done, I've got my camera armed & ready!!!
