 :huh:

You were going to come down and trailer it back to Scotland?

These engines deserve neither the Golf3 shell, nor hobbling with K-Jet.

I will ensure this engine can go on to enjoy a full and healthy life, released from it's prison.

Like that if I had too. Darn it!

Just one thing, how did you know it was an ABF, are all the MK3 16v's ABF's ?

All Golf3 16V are ABF, as are the later Toledo 16V, Ibizas and Cordobas.

i hear the golf 3's have the hydrolic clutch and the seats have a slightly different setup on the gearbox. Thats the only difference not sure which is better

Don't shout at me, I saw the discussion on another thread between you and someone else about the good ole K-Jet ABF dispute. However, I thought the ABF on a KR head produced more BHP - without any other modification, than the standard ABF does on Motronic?

Toledos have cable clutch instead of the hydraulic - stay with the G2 pedal box, as the above poster has done.

Get old then  :tongue:

Well, if I see +160bhp I'll be pretty happy.  Danny's was doing 173bhp when it was on the dyno and that just had a home-build exhaust manifold.

How in all f*ckery would a 30 year old mechanical system out-perform Motronic?

Not outperform, I was just under the impression (from what I'd read) that the standard ABF was about 150 BHP, but the ABF block with KR head was more in the region of 160 BHP - that true?

I understand with correct mapping etc. it can far excel in terms of torque and fuel economy.
