MK3 1.8T

I believe hes doin the conversion to the GTI may be wrong? So should be 288mm brakes. More than upto the 150bhp standard engine unless your going to mod it now?

[rcsammy]

well the car the engine is going in is an 8v GTI... so he has GTI brakes not 1.4 ones

Yeah as others have just said its going in standard at 150bhp so the 8v brakes should be up to the job for the time being 

Well i had today of so i made a start on removing the wiring, didnt get to much done as it was so cold out but here are a few photos 

Engine lift i have the use of whenever i need it 


The engine out


I cant seem to upload the photos of how the bay looks now but when it lets me i shall update again 

Does anyone know who or where i can get a AGU ecu de immobilized as iv heard it involves removing a chip and people only do it with a remap?

Also had some bad news the 02J has 108mm cups so looks like 02A is going to be required unless i can find some 108mm drive shafts

Regarding the gearbox, you can pick 16v boxes for good money, I paid £80 delivered. I am not sure if your current flywheel will fit? But again you can pick a G60 or ABF cheap.

Have you got a clutch yet?

Ahh my bad, i did a SeanL and didn't read it properly! I assumed it was going in your 1.4 and the 8v was a doner car..

That will be fine then

Yeah im going to try and find a gearbox next month when i have more money aha

I have also got hold of a 16v GTI fround engine mount bracket and the gearbox bracket for £10 so i was pretty happy with that, i will buy new mounts as they seem like the parts that could do with being new 

As far as progress i havnt got anything done due to the stupid amount of snow we have had but i must admit driving a slammed golf mk3 is amazing in the snow! 

As for flywheel i will wait to see if the gearbox i buy comes with one or i will have to get hold of a secound hand flywheel at some point, i keep forgetting that this is a long project so i should really slow up aha

This is going well.  keep it up fella.

I need an engine crane in my life.

You dont need a gearbox. You only need the 100mm drive cups from an 02a

[Ferdinor]

Cheers mate im having loads of fun doing it and actually learning alot aha
Yeah that engine crane helped so very much!
