Post by: Neaty on 30 May 2006, 22:18: Early 87 I think. Are you trying to work out whether this car you are going to see is KJet or Digi?

Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: Horney on 13 October 2006, 09:10: My 87E 8v is a digi. Registered 1st August 87 I think.

Whenever I phone GSF etc and they ask what year and I say 87 they always tell me it's a Kjet and I have to tell them they are wrong!

Hope that helps,

Nick

Post by: Neaty on 13 October 2006, 18:03: does anyone not ever wonder why the didnt make a 16v on digifant? :undecided:

Post by: mix on 15 October 2006, 12:20: too much effort :laugh:

Post by: AudiA8Quattro on 17 October 2006, 22:40: They did, on the mk3.
Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: Neaty on 18 October 2006, 18:14: its not digifant on mark 3's. Its EFI but not digifant like a Mark 2. I would hope it is a bit more advanced than that. :grin:
Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: AudiA8Quattro on 18 October 2006, 18:35: Mk3 gti 16v engine code ABF is fitted with either Digifant 3.0 or 3.2 :wink:
Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: Neaty on 18 October 2006, 18:37: if ya say soÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :laugh:

so how easy/hard would an engine conversion be to put it in a mark 2 8v digi?

Post by: AudiA8Quattro on 18 October 2006, 18:41: Its not me that says so, its mr.haynes that does :grin:
Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: rubjonny on 19 October 2006, 14:43: if its a post 90 mk2 (hazard on steering column) its dead easy as all the engine loom will plug straight into the fusebox.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â If its an early one then splicing is required!

audi100Quattro is correct, the MK3 16v uses digifant managment.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Its an upgrade from the MK2 2.0 digi system, which includes 2 knock sensors, a lambda sensor and a crank sensor, amongst other things.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Also it has no MAF or MAP sensors.

Post by: Neaty on 19 October 2006, 20:03: well everyday is a school day. What about mark 3 8vs are they the same thing then?
Title: Re: What year did K-Jet stop being used?
Post by: rubjonny on 19 October 2006, 20:10: Similar but not identical, somewhere in between I think. They have a MAF like the MK2 system, but early 2e engines dont have a crank position sensor.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â The later (ADY?) blocks have a crank position sensor, and a different dizzy & hall sensor (The early 2e dizzies can be used with the MK2 digi fuel injection system if you fit the bottom end, but the later dizzy will not work). Both have a lambda probe as well.
