1.8T AGU k04 conversion help

[jamie1989]

He was intrested in an AUQ one, I dont know if it can be done but its not worth his while if it could.
AUQ's have all sorts of other sensors that AGU dont have.
Best to keep the AGU management and have it all mapped by Nick once fitted imo.

AGU to AUM conversion - a fortune.  YOur looking at like £700 in parts to swap over easily.

[Prawny]

yea, it's a bit more than just a few sensors!

it's an entirely different model ECU, some different pins on the plug, almost all the sensors are different, coilpacks are different, the entire engine loom would require changing, as well as the throttle body, pedal box, it's very much not a straight swap.

It's possible, but a lot of work for little gain when Niki can do such a great job of mapping ME3.8

I've recently collected all this bits for this conversion. Reckon I've spent about £300-£350 in total in collecting everything needed.

Doing the engine loom and sensor takes about 2 hours to swap and the throttle pedal conversion another 2 hours.
Well worth it if you can map the car yourself as the Me7.5 is far easier at mapping than the Me3.8.

If going to R-tech/B5 or the likes then no point in changing over as they can map the thing just as well regardless of Me3 or Me7
List of things needed for the conversion

ECU 06a906032hn or Hj are ideal
Loom from same car, both parts, drivers and passenger side
Coil packs
Knock sensors
Throttle body
Throttle pedal and harness
Camcover sensor
Map pipe and sensor
Maf and sensor
Lambda sensor

I wouldn't have recommended my ecu anyway. It was mapped for a Hybrid of which the setup was being sold as well, much better off getting your own mapped.

For reference, my K04 converted car with:
CM TIP
Stock S3/TT Injectors
Stock Fuel Pump
V2 Relentless Mani
Relentless DP + Decat
Scorpion from Decat back
Wellycooler and 63mm FMIC Pipes
S2000 Filter

made 290bhp / 307lb/ft of torque on a dyno dynamics roller.

About to put rods and a large port on it and it should crack 300. As an AGU also has higher comp rating and large port inlet mani, over 300 (like Toby's) should be realistic.

OOO would be interested in seeing how you get on with that.. 300bhp theres a challenge.

You'll need a better actuator as well. stock one wont cut it IMHO

Sorry OP, but: really mate, you don't think the stock one will cut the mustard?

I'm wondering what will give out first in that case, max flow on the injectors or the actuator. I'm hoping it won't need anymore boost, and although I'd like to stick AGU pistons in, I can't be bothered to do the rings, so the change in comp won't happen!

dyno dynamics rollers are spot on aswell! same rollers i had mine on 

went out in the ^above car^ on saterday!



FUN!!

You went out in the Leon.. The spec above is for my A3 Quattro which has the legs on the Leon, as proved last week..

[Toby]

ah sh!t! never realised u had a a3 quatro!

i dont wana see it!  it will make me want another! and i really dont wana
