finally started my abf conversion:-)

[mk2addict]

People have said 6.5 seconds to 60 does that sound about right? If so happy days:-)

Think that figure is for k jet abf. Not 100%  though.

[mk2bal]

My abf kjet makes 159.5 bhp. Thatll do corsa vxr's, any type of saxo, bmw 118's, 318 320 325 and just do a 328, fabia vrs's, can match a scirocco tsi to 110 ish, will ruin mk4 gti's, had an old focus rs CREEP past me the other day, it only jus managed to get past. However some modern metal like a merc c350 cdi will bust me up!! Wring every last bit out the engine and you'll be alright. Don't stir the cogs and drive it properly and you may come unstuck..

Must be a stainless manifold that'll fit abf? I'm takin my time, this is the first time I've done an engine swap so any advice on what works and doesnt would be good. How fasy r ure abf's what cars can u keep up with?

And you're on the IOW.

If you want to come round one evening you're welcome to check out my silver shed, which is ABFed.

I'm normally at my workshop Thursday evenings.  PM me if you want to hook up/talk stuff through.

The 8v is out:) bit heavy doin it on me tod but got it out fairly easy I wanna clean up the bay so any tips?

[emery1990]

Did you just take off the whole front end mate, got an abf sitting here waiting to fitted, just havn't had time yet! Mines going to running like 175bhp with probably 160ish lb torque, going to be an animal!

[mk2addict]

Yea have the whole front end off had to leave the manifold on as it wouldn't come off lol so jack the engine up so the downpipe cleard the steerin rack and pulled the engine and pushd the car bk to get it out.what have u had done to ures to get 175 out of it? That's the kinda numbers I want

[emery1990]

ahh right lol It's on megasquirt mate, stand alone ecu. All in all you could fit it and map it for around £500-600.

Don't know if it'll have that figure, but a few abf's on megasquirt have had them figures, but it's the extra torque it gives what makes it good ie increased everywhere across the rev range, not just top end with it taken from the bottom. The bloke said it's very nippy atm and it hasn't been mapped on a dyno yet  R-tech do a fully mapped service, everything to make it work for £280 which is cheap considering I've had quotes of £120/hour to just a wot pull on the dyno!
