8v tuned gti head
« on: 29 April 2010, 09:14 »
Right I own a mk2 1.3 GOLF gti,i was planning to do a 1.8t conversion to her but time and space is an issue at the moment and the engine has had to be moved to the back of the workshop until i can find the time to get near it again...
Anyway for the time being I want to do a few mods on the lil girl,one of them being tuned ported/polished head a after market cams. Yes I know its a 1.3 and I know i'm limited to what can be done to her but I fancy the challenge of it anyway!
I can get hold of an 8valve tuned head off a mk3 golf gti and believed they were the same on all sized engiines,is this correct? Would the head go on my 1.3?
I know mk2 and mk3 heads are basically the same just wondered if it was the case with the different sized engines as well...

cheers
ohhhhh shinnnnyyyy! Story of my life...

Nope not a chance, 1.3 is what I would class as the Polo type engine which is very different to the 1.6 / 1.8
