Hey ,, i have mk2 golf 1990 ,,it was 1300CC stock,,and after a long struggle i have swapped to E2
engine 2000CC, coz we r here in cairo-egypt swapping is so hard and difficult and it takes a long time..
should i put air filters??and wat type of it??

[monkeyalan]

whatever you put on make sure it's in an air box or you'll get an engine full of sand. Also with an airbox you will probably get more power as heat soak from your engine and the high air tempreture in egypt will reduce power with an induction kit such as k&n.

get a k&n replacement filter element, and use a std airbox as said above

Yup you'll deffo want to go for the standard 1.6/1.8 carb airbox setup, with the cold air feed pipe going into the wing.  The engine code will be EZ by the way

thx guys for ur help,,,,but i think that the engine code is 2E ,its 1993 model,,then wats da difference between turbo chaegers and turbo kits,,or they r da same??!

[rubjonny]

Hmm I dunno why but for some reason I thought you had swapped in a 1.6 carbed engine, god knows what I was smoking at the time

There are 2 main types of charger, the difference being that some are spun using exhaust gasses and others are belt driven such as the one found on the VW G60.

thx man for the information,,,but i cant understand,,sorry for the english,,,,i saw a turbo kit it was a kit wiz many pipes in it,,the other called turbo charger was just like a steel fan :embarassed:

[rubjonny]

It sounds like the kit includes all the extra pipes you need to hook up an intercooler, which cools the air before it is sucked into the engine to give more boost.

A turbo charger does indeed look like a steel fan, but you can't just bolt one on to a non turbo engine, you need all the pipework to plumb it in, and usually you need to play with the engine to get the correct compression ratio, the normal way is to use a thicker head gasket and/or different pistons.

Not an easy job basically

thx man for da help  , i think i understand now,,,all these tries of me was to try to increase the horse power and the tourque of the car and the acceleration to make the car a real speed monster,, i was trying to buy a turbo kit but i think a gerrett turbo kit costs here in cairo about 2000 U.S dollars,,,and any nitrous oxide system costss about 2500-3000 U.S dollars,,,so wat do u think ??!
