ENGINE SWAP/ fuse box
« on: 13 April 2008, 20:39 »
I have a 82 x reg mk1 golf and I want to put a 2litre 8v engine out of a my spare 94 l reg mk3 golf gti into it. Will i need to use a different petrol tank or can I add a fuel pump to the existing tank? Also is there anything else I need to know before I start to pull these cars apart. The mk1 is currently running on carbs and not injection.

i thought it would because ov bigger engines going in them ie 16v/ g60/ and tt engines. as i know it will fit to the box as its the same as the one its running on now. the mk3 engine as got old type box as i changed that as the earlier box r close ratio and a lot stronger. so wat u sayin is that the engine is taller yeah.thanks

keep the existing fuel system, it'll work just fine.   Are you gonna covert the engine to run on k-jet, or keep the electronic ignition?

ok you'll need a lift pump from a late cabby/rocco, becasue the carb tank wont have the fitting on the side for a MK1 GIT main pump.  The easiest way from there would be to attempt to fit a MK2 digifant GTI main pump & lines, then you'll have the correct push fit fuel fitting s in the bay that'll plug straight into the lines on the MK3 fuel rail.  I've seen a MK1 16v done with the MK2 k-jet pump & lines, so I see no reason why the digifant one wont work, you'll just have to find a way to mount the pump to the car, shouldnt be too difficult :)
