Title: 8v to 16?
Post by: paladin on 17 March 2004, 19:11

Any of you guys know if it's possible to change heads off a 2.0 8v (Mk3) for a 16v?

What else would be involved? Just tossing around Hp boosting ideas..

Lots of engine internals to change, not realy a good way to do it. Get a whole 16v engine, lot better idea.

you'd probably need a new ECU and whole host of other things to make it work properly.

you can put any engine in any car if you've got enough money  :P
