Under the water pump... have a good look at a Mk2 with it fitted and then decide if it is really worth the time and trouble.

The Haynes manual has a few sentences on the topic.

Good on you if you are determined and decide to go ahead..

,,,,,sorry.......that's different... if you have the car prepared as you say, it should be much more straightforward. Presumably you will have the appropriate rack and hydraulic piping, reservoir, and pump.... additional pulleys to link pump to the crankshaft...etc etc.

Study a car which has pas already fitted and you'll have a reference point.

Good luck

Ben your whole project is one big FAQ  :grin:

The MK2 section should be shutdown and redirected to your project  :laugh:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
