Title: mk 16v
Post by: Swanzea on 19 September 2008, 17:13

Guys i have a mk2 8v and want to put a 16v engine in :evil:
I know for a engine ok but...is it a straight swap? what do i need to make this happen ie do i need to replace the entire loom?etc.
Is it worth doing it?
does it take long?
Im quite new to engine swaping.Anything i need to know when doing this?

If you are gonna swap engine, get a 9A or ABF (2.0 16v).  Also just run it off kjet u need to change fuel pump and puel lines but its a lot easier to wire up, you will need a new wiring loom what ever way you do it

loads of engine conversion threads on here

but why not just buy a valver in the first place  :undecided:

Search, and as said, there is a valver version already. Buy that.
